Pezula Resort Hotel and Spa, Knysna, Western Cape

Africa’s first truly luxury resort, located on the Eastern Head of Knysna on the exquisite coastline of the Western Cape, is a sanctuary of privacy and indulgence created to reflect the natural beauty of its surrounds.

Set on a stunning 1,000 ha estate, known for its secluded beach, sweeping fynbos landscapes and ancient indigenous forests, the Pezula Resort has breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, the Knysna Lagoon and the Outeniqua Mountains.

This luxury hotel consists of 83 exquisitely appointed luxury suites, linked by short landscaped pathways to the nearby main building and accessed by foot or battery-operated golf carts. All suites maximise the spectacular views of the Knysna Lagoon or Indian Ocean and the Pezula Championship Golf Course, and are decorated in contemporary African style, with warm earth tones predominating. In this boutique hotel all suites are utterly indulgent, completely private and exude a sense of luxury and comfort from the real log fireplaces to the under floor heating in the bathrooms.

The highly acclaimed Zachary's is a sophisticated world-class gourmet restaurant under the helm of Executive Chef Geoffrey Murray, who delights in serving up local ingredients inspired by global influences. Named after the Chairman's much loved and well-travelled Labrador, Zachary's is stylish and contemporary and reflects the five star luxury of the hotel. Zachary's impressive wine cellar stocks a superb collection of local and international wines, including South African boutique blends.
