Company info
I love South Africa and its people. The country is the most beautiful one in the world and the people are warmhearted and friendly. There are so many things to do: an adventurous safari deep in the African bush, a walk through the indigenous forests along the Garden Route, a leisure day on the endless golden beaches, a horse-ride in the spectacular mountains, a visit to the world-class vineyards and restaurants, a chat with the locals from various places and a trip to the most exciting cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Property info
It is an outstanding property of about 12000 squaremeters with view of the famous Knysna lagoon. There is a park-like garden with a pool, a fountain and a gazebo. The charming manor house brings you back to a long gone era of true hospitality.
Neighborhood info
The famous Knysna lagoon is at the doorstep with all kinds of watersport activites - even beaches. The sea is a few minutes by car - also with outstanding beaches. The center of town and waterfront is a 15min walk away.
