Headlands House Guest Lodge

Excellent host and breakfast in a great part of Knysna. Debbie is a welcoming host, and the headlands is the perfect location.

The Location of the Headlands Guesthouse and especially the view from the Coney Glen Room over the bay and sea as well into the laguna are breathtaking. But also the sundowner on the pool deck or the view from the breakfast room are outstanding. The service was super friendly and the breakfast was very delicious. For sure the fitout of the rooms could be a bit more modern but the style has its own individual charm. A small house bar provided everything you needed for drinks and small snacks.

Perfectly located accommodation with a beautiful view. Everything about the accomodation was perfect, reception, service, breakfast. We were passing through Knynsa from Cape Town and we only stayed for one day, we were very impressed. The accommodation exceeded the our expectations. My partner loved the coffee as he has been company the bad coffee he had the whole trip. We would definitely book here when we are in Knynsa. Loved it

We had a fabulous stay at Headlands House, so good we extended our stay for an extra couple of nights. Debbie was wonderful - super friendly and very helpful with everything from local recommendations to serving our breakfast! The location is fantastic too, with a view from every room. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous stay with stunning views. A breakfast that will last you all day and the truly delightful Chrystal and Debbie looking after you. We were glad to have stayed a little further out from Knysna to enjoy the views. Highly recommended.

We had such a wonderful stay at Headlands House recently now in July. We were so warmly welcomed by our lovely hostess Crystal upon arrival who gave us a tour of the house and some recommendations of places to go eat and explore. Very much appreciated as this was our first time in Knysna. We have a 3 month old baby, so stayed in the Fynbos room which had ample space for a camp cot and us to stay comfortably in the room. There is a camp cot on request for a small additional fee for which was perfect for us as we didn’t need to travel with our own one. The views are truly stunning from that room and it was so nice being able to see the heads so clearly. The weather was a little wet when we were there, so we spent some time cozied up in our room watching the sea which was nice and relaxing. The rooms have heaters in them, and additional blankets and hot water bottles are provided too so we were comfortable and warm. I would also highly recommend the delicious homemade crunchies that are in the room for you upon arrival - absolutely delicious! Breakfast each morning was a delicious home cooked meal (we had the jungle oats and English breakfast on day one, and the jungle oats and French toast on day two) which just started our day off so well. Debbie was also so kind as to hold onto our little one for a few moments so we could have a bite to eat, really appreciated that personal touch. The guesthouse has parking outside the house so no need to park and walk far, and is very safe. All in all, would highly recommend staying here, the team are lovely, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the location is perfect.
