The St. James of Knysna is an exclusive, owner run, five star Country House Hotel uniquely situated directly on the shores of the famous Knysna Lagoon.

The luxuriously appointed Suites & Rooms - 15 in total - offer spectacular views across this peaceful lagoon to the dramatic Knysna Heads or over the magnificent 3 acre gardens which invite one to take long, peaceful walks to see the large Koi pond and walk-in aviary and to appreciate the views. Set in the gardens, this privately owned Country House Hotel has three swimming pools and a floodlit tennis court.

Other recreational facilities include boating picnics, sundowner cruises, water skiing and angling off the private jetty. Canoes are available for those who want to explore on their own. Other options are a games room, croquet, shopping & tavern tours. All one may be short of, is time to do all that you would like to do.
