The hotel is a listed building and connected to the history surrounding Knysna. The small yet beautiful old church is also part of the estate and well worth a visit. The Oakleaf restaurant is a rather special find with culinary delights to be found on the menu. They are open for breakfasts and Lunches. This too is within walkng distance of the accommodation. Just outside the estate, direction Knysna is another restaurant that serves delicious breakfasts and lunches. Knysna is a 7km drive where the waterfront has attractive shops and restaurants. There are a number of supermarkets in town including Woolworths, Spar, Food Lovers Market, Pick'nPay.etc. A large Dischem and Clicks too. George is a 60min Drive in the direction of Cape Town and Plettenburg Bay is also an hours drive away in the direction of PE.
