Pezula Nature Retreat

We felt wrapped in luxury from start to finish! Our suite was stunningly decorated with high end finishes (travertine stone and natural wood). It was very spacious almost like a studio apartment with a mini kitchen, walk-in closet and wood burning fireplace! We had a lovely ocean view from our balcony! The property focuses on cultivating indigenous plants and even has a nursery so the flowers, trees and walkways were interesting and incredibly beautiful! The staff went above and beyond to take care of us! The breakfast was outstanding! They offer a buffet of fresh fruit,fresh fruit compotes, freshly squeezed fruit juices and smoothies as well as an array of fresh pastries including health muffins and banana bread and the hot dishes were simply world class! Dinner was also delicious with a truly varied menu! My spa treatment was amazing! I have to mention the staff again because they were so warm and welcoming! We felt truly refreshed after our stay because the people took such good care of us! Can't recommend highly enough!

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin, everything was just absolutely perfect! It surpasses many 5 star hotels I have visited in SA and internationally. The staff go above and beyond for every request. The spa facilities are pristine and beautiful. We stayed in the Woodfired hot tub room and it was lovely! Just phone in reception and someone will prep the tub for you, emptied and completely cleaned every morning. Wonderful restaurant and cocktail bar on site. The fireplace in the rooms creates such a cozi atmosphere. I would also like to mention the lovely lady that would do our evening turn down service - she brings such a warm energy, along with all of the other staff at the hotel. I will absolutely be returning.

Beautiful location. Stunning setup. Easy to get ahold of a golf cart to escort you around the premises. Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere. Beautiful spa with friendly staff. Reception staff very attentive and welcoming, made an excellent impression on us as a family on arrival 24 May as the gentleman at reception took time to get to know us and make conversation which I really appreciated. The fireplace in the room is such a lovely feature!

The bedroom was nice and spacy ... the fireplace was perfect especially now in winter. The mattress was so comfy... I checked the label of the mattress in order to purchase one for me for home :) Breakfast was excellent... the buffet had a huge variety, my favorite was the Shatshuka. As for dinner we tried most of the meals on the menu and it was all very tasty and beautifully prepared Very seldom you get a restaurant that offers all foods halal... this was really great :)

The room was an excellent size and the general facilities were on point. The hotel itself and room felt very special and private with a beautiful view. The hotel was in a good location for getting into Knysna as long as you're driving. The staff were great, particularly the porters who couldn't do any more for you. We would return.
