ABOUT THE RESORT

Simola Hotel Country Club and Spa offers luxury, five-star accommodation in Knysna for up to 160 guests in 40 stylish, yet comfortable suites. With uninterrupted views of the estuary, famous Knysna Heads and the Indian Ocean beyond, the Knysna River valley or the Outeniqua Mountains, the hotel has been designed to make the most of the truly spectacular site and its unparalleled natural surroundings.

With suites are set in private blocks separate from the communal areas such as the restaurant, spa and gym, privacy in a personal haven of peace and tranquillity is assured. It also creates a welcome break between business and ‘home’ during conferences and other corporate events.

The Executive Suites have been cleverly designed to allow for separation into a Luxury Suite or Standard Room, which means that Simola’s accommodation is ideally suited to families, couples, singles, wedding parties, tour groups or business travellers.

They offer an airport shuttle service, laundry service, and rooms are serviced daily.

Key Information

Simola Hotel, Country Club & Spa sits high above Knysna on South Africa’s Garden Route, offering sweeping views across forests, hills, and the Knysna Lagoon. It’s a peaceful setting, around a 10-minute drive from Knysna town and well placed for exploring the wider Garden Route.

The hotel has a refined, lodge-style feel with spacious suites rather than standard hotel rooms, all featuring living areas, balconies, and a sense of privacy. The standout is the Jack Nicklaus–designed Simola Golf Course, known for its elevation changes, scenic holes, and quiet rounds. Facilities include a spa, indoor pool, gym, restaurant, and bar. Service is calm and attentive, making it a strong choice for golfers seeking space, scenery, and a relaxed luxury stay rather than a busy resort.
