Abalone Lodges is a self-catering accommodation property at 20 Heron's Way in Lower Old Place, Knysna, overlooking the Knysna Lagoon. The setting combines a residential atmosphere with convenient access to the town, making it suitable for couples, families, and larger groups seeking an independent base for a Garden Route stay.

The accommodation collection includes freestanding and semi-attached double cabins, a double-storey lagoon-view cabin, a two-bedroom family cabin, and a three-bedroom family house. Each option is designed for privacy and comfort, with lagoon views across the property. Air-conditioning, extra-length king-size beds, and a bidet spray in every bathroom are among the practical features provided.

As a self-catering venue, Abalone Lodges gives guests the freedom to organise meals at their own pace. Braai facilities support relaxed outdoor cooking, while a swimming pool provides another way to spend time on the property. Secure on-site parking adds convenience for guests travelling by car.

The surrounding Knysna Estuary, wetlands, and forests also offer opportunities for birdwatching, with varied birdlife present in the area.

Abalone Lodges can accommodate private group bookings through exclusive use of the property, with space for up to 24 guests. This arrangement suits family gatherings, golf groups, wedding parties, corporate retreats, sports teams, and other celebrations requiring shared accommodation in one setting. The range of cabin and family-house layouts also allows smaller stays to be matched with the appropriate amount of space.
