Villa Castollini

Set on the quieter Brenton-on-Sea side of Knysna, the villa crowns the Western Head with commanding views over the lagoon, town and distant Outeniqua Mountains. The address on Brenton-on-Sea Road places guests within a short drive of Brenton-on-Sea’s broad sands and coastal lookouts. Featherbed Nature Reserve excursions depart from the Knysna Waterfront, while forested trails, estuary cruises and artsy cafés round out a classic Garden Route itinerary. Cape Town is typically a 5–6 hour drive; George Airport is about an hour away.

The eight rooms are individually styled—Superior and Deluxe Suites, Junior Deluxe and Standard—each with en-suite bathrooms and thoughtful comforts. Expect climate control, quality linens, safes, minibars and complimentary Wi-Fi. Many rooms face the water with balconies or patios for sunrise coffee and golden-hour views. Couples appreciate the privacy and unhurried pace, while a family unit adds flexibility for small groups. Practical touches like blackout curtains and ample storage make multi-night stays easy.

Shared areas flow from an open-plan kitchen and dining room into a relaxed lounge and the Ferrari Room bar—an honesty bar beside the pool terrace that’s ideal for sundowners. A sparkling outdoor pool overlooks the lagoon, with loungers and wind screens for comfort. Full English and continental breakfasts are included; chef’s-table dinners are offered by prior arrangement. Reliable power comes via solar and generator backup, and the team can arrange restaurant bookings, lighthouse visits and local day trips.
