Falcons View Manor is a small Boutique Hotel on Thesen Hill in Knysna. Spectacular Views from the Victorian Veranda across the lagoon and through the magnificent Knysna Heads, beautiful garden and a small dining room. Located atop a hill, less than 1km from the vibrancy of the town, Falcons View Manor is the ideal base from which to explore everything that Knysna and the surrounding area has to offer. Or you could stay in and enjoy the generous, homely atmosphere of the unique, intimate hotel. Check your emails at the guests’ computer or via free WiFi after breakfast, unwind at the sparkling pool or enjoy a quiet read in one of the comfortable lounges. Have a light lunch in the beautiful tea garden before taking a stroll through the lush, well-manicured gardens. Sip a sundowner while appreciating the stunning views from the Victorian veranda, then enjoy a delicious dinner at the restaurant – with a special bottle of wine from the cellar. Close off the evening with a nightcap at the bar before heading to the comfort of your en-suite room.

From the welcoming to saying goodbye everything was excellent! Very nice, helpful and friendly people! We had the most spectacular view over Knysna and the Bay and at the backside of the house a beautiful garden with swimming pool. We loved staying in this peaceful place.

Great location overlooking the Bay of Knysna. Sitting in the cosy chairs on the terrace, drinking a sun downer and enjoying the view. Excellent food with different daily menues, super breakfast in the garden. Don't get surprised while driving to the old villa as the way is a bit steep and the roads look really local. Surpisingly the property is well developed and secure. Remembers me a bit about the old cotton farmhouses/ manors in South Corolina, US.

Stayed for one night local to us as a ‘date night’ to take advantage of childcare at home. Spacious room, amazing food and attentive staff. Big thank you to Daniele who was a great hostess. We will be back.

The view from the front deck, the yellow wood tree in the parking lot, the beautiful parlors, soft music, excellent dinner, friendly and helpful staff, and nice and comfortable room contributed to a great stay!

Beautiful traditional hotel with wonderful staff. Our room (garden superior) was very spacious, beautifully decorated with a lovely terrace area. The bed was the most comfortable we had throughout the garden route. We ate dinner at the hotel on our first night and the meal was excellent. The hosts were friendly and very informative about the surrounding area. They even gave us some recommendations for the next town we were visiting in respect of things to do and places to eat and all recommendations were excellent - just wish we could have stayed at this hotel longer.

We stayed in the Manor house last year and just had to return to this wonderful hotel on our two week fly drive of South Africa. They didn't disappoint. Can't recommend it highly enough. Lovely location above the town. Fabulous rooms and friendly service, from our hostess Danelle and the team . The cook did a delicious cooked breakfast. The porter also does a great car wash and vac!. Helpful excursion suggestions. Nothing too much trouble. This is the nicest place to stay. Thanks to the whole team for looking after so well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Falcon's View - everything about the place is first rate and Danelle, along with all the staff, couldn't have been more helpful. Town is a short walk away but it's worth noting the very steep hill which would need climbing on your way back - suggest a taxi..!
