Every single last detail has been meticulously thought out from the luxurious bedrooms with beautfiul bathrooms, comfortable chairs and sun beds to lounge around on to the refreshing swimming pool and well positioned hot tub. There are so many activities to enjoy in Brenton and Knysna and each day started for my family with wake-boarding on the lagoon followed by a delicious champagne breakfast back at the Lodge.

The swimming pool deck and jacuzzi are overlooking the entire town of Knysna and the sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. The attention to detail makes the lodge a self catering paradise.
