Local tip
A stay at Headlands House pairs naturally with time at Coney Glen Beach and the viewpoints around The Heads.

Headlands House Guest Lodge is a luxury guest house at 50 Coney Glen Road in The Heads, Knysna. Set beside the Knysna Heads, the lodge is shaped by its coastal outlook and by the changing views across this distinctive part of the Garden Route.

The accommodation includes individually named rooms such as Coney Glen, Sea Horse, Elephant, Fynbos, Pansy Shell and Birds View. The room names reflect the lodge’s connection with its surroundings, while the guest-house format provides a place to stay for visitors exploring Knysna and the nearby coastline.

Shared spaces include a lounge and a deck, both positioned to make the most of the outlook through the Heads. The atmosphere is relaxed and scenic, with the setting providing the main character. The property also highlights its garden birdlife and sunsets, adding natural interest to time spent on site.

Headlands House suits travellers looking for a views-led base in The Heads, with beaches and coastal viewpoints within the surrounding area. Leisure Island is located at the bottom of the hill, while Coney Glen Beach is also part of the nearby landscape. Further coastal destinations referenced by the lodge include Brenton on Sea, Buffalo Bay, Plettenberg Bay and Knoetsie Beach.

The lodge’s offering extends beyond accommodation through personalised cruise options and romantic options. These make the property relevant to visitors planning a scenic coastal break, a romantic stay or a Knysna visit centred on the water, beaches and viewpoints. The setting is also appropriate for travellers who prefer a guest house with shared lounge and deck areas rather than a conventional hotel environment.

Headlands House Guest Lodge provides a location-focused stay in one of Knysna’s most recognisable areas. Its character comes from the combination of room-based accommodation, views through the Heads, garden surroundings, birdlife, sunsets and access to nearby beaches. Enquiries can be made directly with the lodge using the listed email address or telephone numbers.
