Hudson Manor

From an elevated position above Knysna, the guesthouse surveys the lagoon and town from a quiet, hilltop farm setting. The approach is via Welbedacht/Eastford, placing guests within a short drive of the waterfront, beaches and indigenous forests. The wider Garden Route—lagoons, estuaries and viewpoints—unfolds along scenic roads in every direction. Driving time to George Airport is typically around one hour in normal conditions, making Hudson Manor a convenient stop between Cape Town and the Eastern Cape.

Accommodation is commonly listed as seven en-suite rooms arranged around a central courtyard, with a mix of categories from standard doubles to larger suites. Expect practical comforts such as air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV and tea-and-coffee facilities; select rooms add balconies or extra space for seating. Décor is uncluttered and light to keep attention on views and the surrounding gardens. As minor details vary across listings, confirm preferred bed setup and any balcony request when booking.

Shared areas include lounges and dining spaces opening to a broad patio for lagoon vistas, plus a seasonal outdoor pool with sun loungers. Breakfast is served on site; for lunch and dinner most guests head to Knysna’s nearby eateries along the waterfront and in town. The focus is a peaceful, home-from-home atmosphere rather than resort amenities, with easy access to beaches, forest walks, boating and golf across the area. Airport transfers and other local arrangements may be available on request.
