About the house
An old harbour-master's house, restored for travellers who notice the details.
The Lagoon House was restored by the Van der Westhuizen family in 2020 — every cornice rebuilt, every yellowwood floor relaid by Knysna craftspeople. Ten guest rooms, one lagoon-front deck, and a team who'll remember why you came.

Letters from the guest book
What past guests remember.
"Booked direct, got upgraded to the lagoon suite. The team remembered our anniversary and left champagne in the room. Already coming back."
"The breakfast deck alone is worth the drive from Joburg. The team planned three days of hikes and cruises for us. Genuinely lovely stay."
