Falcons View Manor
Fabulous Knysna boutique hotel set high above the town of Knysna with outstanding character and views.
Location
On a commanding hilltop position fanned by cool sea breezes overlooking the town of Knysna, Falcons View Manor, has a spectacular setting.
The Hotel
The original homested "Hill House" was built by Charles Thesen, made wealthy by the timber industry in Knysna, and it soon became a prominent feature of the village. Beautiful architectural detail, original period fittings, high ceilings, gleaming yellowwood and lounges graced by elegant Victorian fireplaces attested to the family's accomplishments. Over time, a paradise of trees and exotic flowers made up the gardens and abundant bird species and vervet monkeys found cover in the lush garden canopy ... and so Falcons View Manor was born.
Rooms
Falcons View Manor boasts three different room types, either with Knysna lagoon, garden or forest views - all the rooms are equally as spectacular as the other. Every room in the Manor is completely different, creating an individualistic energy with an artistic feel. The rooms each have a specific charm and were decorated accordingly. Combined with elegant and luxurious decor are everyday mod-cons, including Digital Satellite TV, mini safes, tea and coffee stations and hair dryers in the bathrooms.
Facilities
There are two lounges with spectacular Knysna lagoon views. The formal library has comfortable couches upon which to while away lazy days with a fantastic book or to catch up on daily news. The Loerie Lounge is the only room in the house allowing smoking. Bright and airy, it invites you into its warm and freshly decorated ambience. There is a wonderful bar, The Dinning Room Restaurant and a smaller restaurant called Chefs Table. Outside there is a pool nestled in the perfectly manicured gardens.
