A haven of privacy and luxury

Located on the Eastern Head of Knysna on the exquisite Garden Route coast, just a 40-minute flight from Cape Town, Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa is surrounded by rugged cliffs, ancient forests and sheltered beaches. With sweeping views of Pezula Championship Golf Course, the Indian Ocean and the Knysna Lagoon, it is a haven of privacy and luxury.

 

 

Seventy-eight stylish suites, including two presidential suites, are housed in detached villas and deliver a whole new world of luxury in an elegant African style. Each has its own patio or balcony and sumptuous bathroom (with underfloor heating and dual vanities), individual climate control, satellite television, DVD player, electronic safe, direct telephone, complimentary Wi-fi connectivity and walk-in wardrobe. A pantry kitchen with delicious deli snacks prepared by the hotel restaurant, a well stocked drinks cabinet and log fireplaces add unparalleled luxury to the accommodation.

 

Calm Sanctuary

The main building houses a sumptuous cigar lounge, champagne and whisky bar,library, wine cellar and gourmet restaurant, Zachary’s. Executive chef Geoffrey Murray delights in serving up the freshest local ingredients in his inimitable style. His menu offers a variety of ‘modern ethnic’ dishes inspired by his worldwide experiences.

 

 

Situated on the lower level of the hotel, Pezula Spa is a calm sanctuary that reflects the soul of Africa and provides world-class professionalism in the delivery of a superior health and wellness experience. Twice named Best Spa in South Africa, it includes a 12m heated indoor pool, state-of-the-art gymnasium, outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, rainforest shower, nail bar, hair salon and nine therapy rooms, as well as a post-treatment room with heated water beds. It offers a comprehensive range of treatments which combine natural therapies with the most technologically advanced equipment available.

Ideal venue

The Boma is the ideal venue for a meal with an authentic African feel. A rustic thatched structure houses a bar and log fireplace where guests can dine protected from the elements and enjoy a typical South African braai. Pezula Castle on the Beach offers hotel guests a stunning beach venue. The castle is a few steps away from Noetzie beach, one of the most unspoilt and secluded beaches on the Garden Route coast. Here hotel guests can enjoy light meals and refreshments from 10h00 to 17h00 every day while they relax and soak up the sun.

 

The Concierge Desk offers airport transfers and excursions. The Pezula helicopter and private jet can be chartered by guests to virtually any destination.
