Belvidere Manor's location (6km west of Knysna) is ideal to relax away from the hubbub but close enough to be in town in 5 minutes. We stayed in Cottage 13 which was ideal for us and our little boy of 1 year old as it had a second bedroom for his cot. The central area of Belvidere Manor hosts the... More

Wonderful quiet location a few kilometres outside Knysna. Guest stay mostly in cottages surrounding the old manor house, set in beautiful green grounds with great views of the Kynsna lagoon. The cottages are very comfortable and complete, dinner can be taken in the on-site pub or restaurant, breakfast is full and varied. Staff very friendly. Terrific place place to stay... More

We spent three nights here in August and it was lovely! Our cottage was very pretty and spotlessly clean. Although there was a very well equipped kitchen we had breakfast at the main house and lunch and dinner out. Most of the time that was at the pub on site - great meals, great vibe, great service - no need... More

We recently stayed at the Belvidere Manor and had a most enjoyable time. The location was great overlooking the lagoon, the cottages excellent and close to the pool.Breakfast and dinner very good. The staff very helpful and friendly. We hope to come back next year.

Belvidere Manor is a different kind of hotel in that it consists of a series of cottages well spread out and on the lagoon edge of a private estate of holiday homes - luckily ours was set in the front portion overlooking the pool and the lagoon. There was no air conditioning which when we were there was a pain... More

Belvidere Manor is an Estate of pretty well spaced individual cottages and houses which all have a comfortable lounge and kitchen. The setting is magnificent and tranquil overlooking the Knysna lagoon and going for lovely walks. The restaurant menu and winelist are both outstanding and if you fancy something more casual there is the well known and cosy 'Bell Tavern'... More

Pretty twee place on garden route - not your typical hotel. It is more like a retirement village with the average age of 70. Great pool to unwind after a day touring, would return but when I am old as then can gossip with all the ladies!

Lovely location overlooking Knysna lagoon and the town in the distance. Super accommodation on an estate of what we found were mainly privately owned houses made available for holiday rent via a management company. Ours was a two bedded, two bathroom affair with well equipped kitchen and large lounge - for the 2 of us. There are also two storey... More

The Belvidere Manor is a lovely place just off Knysna and made for a great 3 night stay to explore the garden route. Belvidere itself is just a short distance off from Kynsna and the Estate is a tranquil base to rest and enjoy a well earned break while exploring the natural wonder of the Garden Route. The "rooms" are... More

I was driving from Capetown to Port Elizabeth and stayed for two nights with one day to explore. My cottage/lodge had two twin bedrooms and a double bedroom with ensuite. It also had living room with satellite TV, kitchen, another bathroom and a parking slot and I think a family of up to 6 people would be comfortable. The Bell... More
