Activities in the Area
Nestled between the Indian Ocean and the Outeniqua Mountains, the greater Knysna area with its indigenous forests and large lagoon-estuary system is an idyllic place of natural beauty. Due to its unique geographical setting, Knysna offers an exceptional setting that caters for a range of activities and excursions. One of the quintessential musts of the area is to take an enthralling boat cruise with the Featherbed Company to their nature reserve on the Western Head where tourists can enjoy buffet lunches at an outdoor restaurant, guided walks and 4×4 drives into the reserve with spectacular views.

What a View
Alfred’s Manor is a wonderfully hospitable and very roomy accommodation, the bed was huge, our room had a large balcony looking over the inland sea, the Knysna water front, and through to the heads. There was a swimming pool, but not for us in May. Due to the only wet day on our trip we opted to hire a car and go travelling for the day. We loved the chats with Peter and the team, the history, and general advice, it’s a shame this was the end of our enchanting trip to Africa.
On Tour with Friends through the Country
Alfred’s Manor I should recommend to everybody who is visiting Knysna. The place is very luxurious and very comfortable. All rooms the most beautiful view. We asked to be served with dinner and they offered a braai. Well, that was something special. A real special braai and all was so professionally done.
Best Stay in Knysna
Alfred’s Manor is a luxury guesthouse everything you need is THERE to make you feel comfortable. The food is Greta too and the people most kind. Of we come to Knysna we will come back to Alfred’s Manor.
Topnotch Hospitality
My husband and I stayed at Alfred’s Manor (joined to Bradach Manor) for two nights as part of a two-week South African tour. The manors were set up in the hills and our room looked out on to the large lagoon of Knysna. We both said it was the nicest hotel room we had ever stayed in, large and spacious, beautiful view and very comfy bed. The service from Peter, the manager, was great – he went above and beyond to make sure we, as his guests, had everything we needed. We would definitely return to these manors, highly recommended!
