On the second level the house has 5 full bathrooms, 5 bedrooms and a family bar that boasts the best views in the house.

An array of activities can be enjoyed in the surrounding area, including golf at either the Jack Nicklaus course at Simola or the Championship course at Pezula. The Knysna Waterfront is 2 km away.

The house is amazing, especially bath on the balcony, jacuzzi, pool and inside barbecue. The house is spacious with nice bedrooms and launge area, the host Martin is very friendly and helpful - he let us use the washing machine and the dryier. I left my passport in the house and Martin called me ASAP, which helped me save a lot of time and nerves. We really regret we couldn't stay longer.

Beacon House is located on the Eastern Head of the Knysna Heads within a few metres of the Knysna Lagoon and 10 km from the centre of Knysna. It features views towards the Outeniqua mountains and out to sea.

The property didn’t meet our expectations, in fact, it has insanely exceeded them. We have a extremely loved out stay at the Beacon House and would definitely recommend it to friends. The view was absolutely stunning, rooms were spacious and the apartment in general was luxurious.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.
