The Mount Knysna

The Mount Knysna is a boutique hotel and dining destination on the Eastern Head of Knysna, at 5 Glen View Road in Coney Glen. The property looks across the entrance to the Knysna Lagoon and towards the sea, with views that include the Knysna Heads. Its setting places coastal scenery, indigenous forest, mountains, lakes and beaches within the wider Garden Route landscape.

The accommodation consists of luxury suites designed for a quiet, comfortable stay. Each suite has views towards the ocean, lagoon and Knysna Heads, giving the rooms a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The hotel is suited to couples and families looking for an elevated base in Knysna, as well as visitors planning a special occasion or a longer stay centred around the area’s natural attractions.

2Stories Restaurant serves contemporary South African cuisine prepared with fresh local ingredients. The setting is elegant but relaxed, with lagoon views adding to the dining experience. A terrace beside the pool provides an outdoor option, particularly appealing around sunset when the changing light reaches across the water and coastline. The restaurant also has an open kitchen, allowing the preparation of meals to form part of the atmosphere.

The property includes a full-service restaurant, an exclusive wine cellar and a fully licensed bar. These facilities make The Mount Knysna suitable for a meal, drinks or an occasion that calls for a more polished setting. Functions and special occasions are catered for on site, with arrangements best confirmed directly with the venue.

A private 12-seater movie theatre adds a distinctive entertainment option for hotel guests and hosted occasions. The theatre is paired with gourmet snacks and drinks from the bar, creating a more intimate alternative to an evening out in town. A rim-flow pool is also part of the property’s leisure offering.

The Mount Knysna combines accommodation, dining and entertainment in a residential coastal setting. It suits travellers who value views, contemporary local food and on-site facilities, while the location provides a convenient base for exploring Knysna’s beaches, forests, golf, art and outdoor activities.
