The double-storey property – securely located along Bosbou Street in Knysna Central – will treat your guests to a comfortable feeling of history, complemented with tasteful décor set to give the ambiance of the timber era of Knysna’s past.
Downstairs are three elite suites with yellow wood flooring, all with en-suite bathrooms; eight double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms; the restaurant; and the fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs you’ll find six double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom as well. In addition, every bedroom comes with air-conditioning and unique styling that seamlessly incorporates culturally significant items with modern touches of luxury.
Just outside is a stunningly manicured lawn, secure covered parking for eight vehicles and open parking for at least 30 more vehicles; a large deck, with a built-in braai, from which guests can take in the truly picturesque, draw-dropping views of Knysna, the surrounding mountains, and the ocean; as well as the pool and a sunbathing area with deck chairs. Views are also available from the restaurant and certain rooms in the establishment.
'Secure with a green footprint'
In terms of security, the property is fully walled and fenced, with a CCTV and alarm system installed, burglar bars, and remote-controlled access to the main gate.
The property also has a green footprint, with a well point, water treatment plant with reverse osmosis, and 40kw solar power plant with 30kw battery backup.
“This property really is exquisite. It is finished impeccably and is extremely well maintained. It exudes class and elegance, highlighting the history of Knysna with keepsakes and ornaments of the region, all the while boasting some of the most spectacular views available in the entire town. Despite its modern, classy appeal, it is still very warm and welcoming thanks to its light pallet and many wooden features, as well as large glass windows and sliding doors that allow plenty of natural light in.
“Knysna itself is also a wonderful place to visit or live. It is touted by some as the Jewel of the Garden Route, and for good reason. The culture is rich, and the scenery is splendid. This hotel won’t ever be short of guests – that much is certain,” remarked Tanya Jovanovski, Franchisee of Rawson Auctions in Western Cape.
“This property will definitely not see another auction date. Don’t miss this opportunity.”
