Point Lodge

Point Lodge is a small guesthouse at The Point in Knysna, with views across the lagoon towards the Knysna Heads. Set in an older, gracious home, the lodge has a relaxed residential character and accommodation arranged across nine en-suite rooms. Rooms look towards the lagoon, swimming pool or gardens, giving guests a choice of outlooks within the property.

A sunny dining room provides the setting for an English breakfast. Dinner is not presented as an on-site dining service, although reservations can be arranged at local restaurants in Knysna. The lodge’s staff can also assist with suggestions for eating out and help guests plan activities in the surrounding area.

Facilities include a swimming pool, bar, laundry service, private off-street parking and Wi-Fi internet access. Bird-watching and canoe hire are available as part of the on-site offering, while disabled-friendly facilities are also provided. The combination of a manageable room count, shared leisure facilities and lagoon-facing position suits travellers looking for a base rather than a full-service resort.

The surrounding Knysna area provides a broad range of activities and attractions. Nearby options include golf, mountain biking, walking and hiking, lagoon cruises, the Featherbed Nature Reserve, scuba diving, tennis, horse riding, fishing, sailing charters and canoeing. Adventure activities such as abseiling and bungee jumping are also listed in the area, along with dolphin and whale-watching between August and November. Cultural and leisure stops include the Knysna Elephant Park, art galleries, the Arts and Crafts Route and a township trail.

Point Lodge works well for visitors who want to explore Knysna and the wider Garden Route while returning to a quieter guesthouse setting. It can suit couples, independent travellers and small parties seeking en-suite accommodation, a breakfast service, practical facilities and access to the lagoon and local attractions. The setting also offers a useful starting point for guests interested in outdoor pursuits, nature experiences, golf or the area’s restaurants.
