Quick description :
Situated overlooking Knysna Lagoon and the distant Outeniqua Mountains, the historic Belvidere Manor Hotel enjoys stunning views and a tranquil location.
Enjoy a farmhouse breakfast, light lunches poolside or at The Bell Tavern, then savour dinner by candlelight at Caroline’s where local ingredients are served with fine wines. For business guests, the Duthie Room is suitable for small brainstorming sessions to larger meetings, seating up to 40 delegates.
Relax by the swimming pool in our beautiful colonial-style gardens (the estate is a nature-lover’s paradise with more than 270 species of birds). Then, retreat to the secluded comfort of the fireplace or the terrace in your own picturesque, spacious Cape-style cottage.

Food & beverage :
We invite you to our restaurant where we serve an à la carte menu each evening. Guests are seated either in the dining-rooms in the House, or outside on the verandah when weather permits. With the hue of polished yellowwood, and gentle candlelight we let our food permeate the senses.
On the Garden Route we are able to source excellent natural produce such as locally produced cheeses, ostrich meat and Karoo lamb. Knysna is justifiably famous for its oysters, both cultivated and wild, and Calitzdorp claims to be the Port capital of South Africa.
We prepare a selection of dishes which will give you a taste of our local produce and which we hope you will enjoy. Venison may be a new taste to you and we recommend that it be lightly cooked, medium/rare to medium.
Area information :
Knysna is situated in the heart of the Garden Route, approximately 75 kms from George airport and 260 kms from Port Elizabeth. The town lies on the Knysna river estuary, also known as the lagoon, and the sea is accessed through The Heads, narrow sandstone cliffs which protect the lagoon from the sea.
The Knysna basin has been declared a National Park and a wide variety of activities are enjoyed on or next to the water. Superb beaches offer swimming, surfing and long walks, whilst the surrounding forest offers hiking, mountain biking and scenic drives. Knysna's town hosts a wide variety of shops, galleries and restaurants, and there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Travel information :
By Car:
- Turn off the N2 between Knysna and Sedgefield at the Brenton / Belvidere sign (6 km from Knysna) at the bridge crossing the lagoon.
