Pezula Private Castle  

On South Africa’s Garden Route near Knysna, tucked beside Noetzie’s hidden bay and the Sinclair Nature Reserve. This luxury private castle villa sits within the Pezula Private Estate, about 9 km from Knysna town center and roughly 11 km from Knysna Quays. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a secluded base for exploring the Western Cape coast.

Built from the native stone of Noetzie, the property channels baronial splendor with three faithfully restored dwellings. Rooms are air-conditioned and cosy, many with fireplaces, private terraces and en-suite bathrooms that feature deep soaking tubs and separate showers. An adjacent Cliff Villa is available for extra space and includes a pool with ocean views. Expect historic character, sweeping sea breezes and gardens that open to a pristine, secluded beach.

Soak in the outdoor pool, unwind in the spa, sauna or steam bath, or keep up with workouts at the fitness center. There’s a library, picnic and barbecue areas, playrooms for kids, and a tour desk to plan beach or nature excursions. Concierge services, transfers, laundry and parking are on hand. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll to the sand for oysters on the beach.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve satisfying meals, with an emphasis on fresh local seafood and coastal flavours. Outdoor barbecue and picnic spots let you eat alfresco near the beach.
