Positioned between Knysna's Eastern Head, the Sinclair Nature Reserve and the Noetzie River, the Pezula Private Estate is the most prestigious real estate development on the African continent.
The Estate has achieved international recognition as the Most Environmentally Aware Development in the world as well as the Best Development in South Africa, judged by an international panel at Homes Overseas Magazine Awards held in London in February 2005.
At the Bentley International Property Awards 2005, also held in London in November, Pezula was again awarded top honours in the following categories: Best Development South Africa, Best International Property: 'The Cove' Pezula and Best Property South Africa. The Pezula Championship Golf Course received 4-stars in the category: Best Golf Development.
On one side, the Indian Ocean thunders into the exquisitely beautiful rocky coast. On the other, Knysna's breathtaking lagoon and the Outeniqua Mountains fill a calmer view.
It is on this special spot that you will find a unique creation. Some call it perfection - we call it Pezula.
And it is here that you will find South Africa's first true luxury resort hotel- The Pezula Resort Hotel and Spa.
The Pezula Resort Hotel is a celebration of African elements with hints of Bali, in overhanging roofs and sliding shutters. Upmarket, distinctive, exceptional, luxurious, singular - words that describe the Pezula Resort Hotel perfectly.
The games room is a comfortable haven for the chess master or the beginner. The library provides a quiet space for literary contemplation and exploration. The wine cellar is stocked with the finest selections from South Africa and afar. The Champagne Bar, Cigar Lounge and Whiskey Bar are all a connoisseurs pleasure with world-class brands to suite all palates. Zachary's gourmet restaurant is sure to tantalize all taste buds with the freshest ingredients and eye-catching presentation.
For the executive, the fully equipped conference facilities are situated in a separate wing of the hotel.
The Suites
Each of the 78 suites including the two presidential suites, have been designed to be utterly indulgent and completely private - all with a contemporary African style.
The interiors exude warmth, with stone and wooded textures, while welcoming earth tones create an unexpected contrast to the colours of the surrounding landscape. In all suites, sandstone forms a backdrop to the real log fireplaces, while marble is prevalent on many floors, patios and balconies.
The suites have individual climate control, satellite television, DVD player, electronic safe, direct telephone, computer and internet access, each has a pantry kitchen with deli snacks and a well stocked drinks cabinet. Each has spectacular views across either Golf Course, Indian Ocean or Knysna Lagoon.
The Spa
Descending from the upper level of the Pezula Resort Hotel, past a rock-faced wall of trickling water, with moss and ferns enter an enchantingly beautiful world. Beyond the reeded glass, a waterfall cascades into a 12m indoor heated pool that leads your eye outwards towards a spectacular view.
The Pezula Spa has received the highest possible accolade from the national health and beauty industry, awarded Best Spa in South Africa by Professional Beauty SA. This tribute follows the Spa being named Best Resort Hotel Spa in South Africa by Les Nouvelles Esth?tiques.
Complementing the serenity of the Spa, the Gym is a vibrant, energetic space. After your work out, relax in the sauna, steam room or Jacuzzi and cool off in the rain forest shower.
The Spa boasts nine different therapy rooms and offers a comprehensive range of treatments and therapies at the highest level, combining natural treatments with the most technologically advanced equipment.
The Spa's post-treatment delight is a heated water bed that massages the body into its final stage of complete relaxation.

Day 7 George - Pezula Hotel & Spa | Meals: BLD
After breakfast, a light aircraft flight takes you to Johannesburg and then on to George where you will be met and transferred to the all-suite Pezula Hotel & Spa. Set on over 600 hectares of private land, Pezula is a perfect place to unwind and restore your soul.
Pezula Hotel & Spa
Positioned between Knysna's Eastern Head, the Sinclair Nature Reserve and the Noetzie River, the Pezula Private Estate is the most prestigious real estate development on the African continent.
The Estate has achieved international recognition as the Most Environmentally Aware Development in the world as well as the Best Development in South Africa, judged by an international panel at Homes Overseas Magazine Awards held in London in February 2005.
At the Bentley International Property Awards 2005, also held in London in November, Pezula was again awarded top honours in the following categories: Best Development South Africa, Best International Property: 'The Cove' Pezula and Best Property South Africa. The Pezula Championship Golf Course received 4-stars in the category: Best Golf Development.
On one side, the Indian Ocean thunders into the exquisitely beautiful rocky coast. On the other, Knysna's breathtaking lagoon and the Outeniqua Mountains fill a calmer view.
It is on this special spot that you will find a unique creation. Some call it perfection - we call it Pezula.
And it is here that you will find South Africa's first true luxury resort hotel- The Pezula Resort Hotel and Spa.
The Pezula Resort Hotel is a celebration of African elements with hints of Bali, in overhanging roofs and sliding shutters. Upmarket, distinctive, exceptional, luxurious, singular - words that describe the Pezula Resort Hotel perfectly.
The games room is a comfortable haven for the chess master or the beginner. The library provides a quiet space for literary contemplation and exploration. The wine cellar is stocked with the finest selections from South Africa and afar. The Champagne Bar, Cigar Lounge and Whiskey Bar are all a connoisseurs pleasure with world-class brands to suite all palates. Zachary's gourmet restaurant is sure to tantalize all taste buds with the freshest ingredients and eye-catching presentation.
For the executive, the fully equipped conference facilities are situated in a separate wing of the hotel.
The Suites
Each of the 78 suites including the two presidential suites, have been designed to be utterly indulgent and completely private - all with a contemporary African style.
The interiors exude warmth, with stone and wooded textures, while welcoming earth tones create an unexpected contrast to the colours of the surrounding landscape. In all suites, sandstone forms a backdrop to the real log fireplaces, while marble is prevalent on many floors, patios and balconies.
The suites have individual climate control, satellite television, DVD player, electronic safe, direct telephone, computer and internet access, each has a pantry kitchen with deli snacks and a well stocked drinks cabinet. Each has spectacular views across either Golf Course, Indian Ocean or Knysna Lagoon.
The Spa
Descending from the upper level of the Pezula Resort Hotel, past a rock-faced wall of trickling water, with moss and ferns enter an enchantingly beautiful world. Beyond the reeded glass, a waterfall cascades into a 12m indoor heated pool that leads your eye outwards towards a spectacular view.
The Pezula Spa has received the highest possible accolade from the national health and beauty industry, awarded Best Spa in South Africa by Professional Beauty SA. This tribute follows the Spa being named Best Resort Hotel Spa in South Africa by Les Nouvelles Esth?tiques.
Complementing the serenity of the Spa, the Gym is a vibrant, energetic space. After your work out, relax in the sauna, steam room or Jacuzzi and cool off in the rain forest shower.
The Spa boasts nine different therapy rooms and offers a comprehensive range of treatments and therapies at the highest level, combining natural treatments with the most technologically advanced equipment.
The Spa's post-treatment delight is a heated water bed that massages the body into its final stage of complete relaxation.
