Headlands House Guest Lodge

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Headlands House Guest Lodge in Knysna, and it was absolutely perfect. The breathtaking views of the lagoon and ocean from our room were like something out of a dream. The staff (Debbie & the kitchen staff) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and special, consistently impressing us with their friendliness and willingness to accommodate our needs. The property itself is beautifully maintained, offering a serene atmosphere ideal for a romantic getaway. The breakfasts were delicious and made with such care, setting the perfect tone for each day. The attention to detail and the team's genuine warmth made us feel truly valued. It’s no surprise that people often call this place a "hidden gem." We couldn’t agree more - it was the perfect choice for our honeymoon, and we can't wait to return someday.

The views are spectacular. The amenities are wonderful. The room and house was clean and the staff I communicated with friendly and helpful. There was enough info provided should I not have had an idea what to do. I noticed careful attention to such details provided to me You can take a walk and in less than five minutes reach a place where you can look at various angles of the lagoon and the spectacular view towards the sea. On a clear night you see the beautiful lights of Knysna. I loved the fact that there was even provision made for in case there is a blackout (electricity). My room included a jaccuzi and that was something I have not experienced before, at least never at any residence of my own, so this was an added bonus I really appreciated. The ourdoor pool was beautifully lit by times with a beautiful blue light. The garden looked well kept..The breakfast was good and tasty. There were security cameras all around that added some sense of safety The lovely fireplace and in-room heating was enough to drive out the winter chills. There was some coffee and tea available for that nice relaxing home away from home experience. Ps. I appreciated the "crunches" (day 1) and the attention to detail, like a towel (available) even for going to the beach. All the keys and locks worked (yes, sometimes little details like that can also annoy or please guests)

We absolutely loved our stay. We were in the Elephant room and the views were absolutely spectacular. We loved being able to sleep with our door open to hear the faint sound of the sea coming n the distance. Debbie who managers the lodge made it extra special with her friendliness and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were outstanding. We will definitely go back.

Amazing staff! So friendly and warm! Spacial thanks for a breakfast, very tasty. Feels like you came for a holiday to your auntie. The view is breathtaking, and rooms are so cozy and sunny.

We were welcomed very warmly. After showing us around, everything was looking great. We had 2 beautiful rooms with a view at the Indian ocean and the Knysna Heads. Lovely breakfast with fruits, cereals, yoghurt and a choice of eggs any style. Free parking was in front of the guesthouse. At the deck there is a swimming pool. We wished that we could stay longer but had to move on to Franschhoek the next day. Next time we will stay a bit longer.
