Set on a secluded old country estate near Knysna's famous lagoon, Knysna Hollow was once a country estate, and the conversion to a hotel has been a spectacular success. A perfect base for an exploring couple, or a family set on making magical memories along the Garden Route and surrounding areas, with Knysna well known for its rich green forests and endless lakes. By day, you can explore the lagoon with a ferry trip and peruse the little town of Knysna. Or for the nature lover Knysna is home to a myriad of flora and fauna including Knysna Elephant Park. End the day with an authentic meal at Social Eatery & Bar - the hotels social hub, before retreating to your elegantly decorated garden suite, where you can rest your head in a super king-size bed!

“great base for exploring Knysna”

Oct 26, 2025davew40

Great location with excellent apartments spread around the quiet grounds that include 2 swimming pools and beautiful flowers and plants. The apartments are spacious, modern and very relaxing with large comfortable beds. The main reception area and restaurant is large with a great menu. Great base for exploring Knysna and surrounding areas.

“Exceptional Service & Seamless Experience at Knysna Hollow Conference Centre”

Sep 15, 2025KellyPicken

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We hosted our Wealth Weekend at Knysna Hollow twice this year (the venue is that good!), and Danie & his team were absolutely exceptional. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. The staff were warm, professional, and always willing to accommodate our specific needs — from group logistics to personal requests. The accommodation was excellent, the lunches and catering were outstanding, and every part of the experience was handled with professionalism and care. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the entire team made us feel completely supported throughout the event. If you’re planning a group retreat, conference, or special gathering, I couldn’t recommend Knysna Hollow more highly. Danie and his team turned our event into a seamless, memorable success, and we’ll definitely be back.
