Lake Pleasant Living

"The Garden Route, a panoramic region idyllically placed between the Indian Ocean and the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains, is home to Lake Pleasant Living Exclusive Holiday Suites in the Knysna district. This charming property, built on the edge of one of the few natural freshwater lakes in the southern hemisphere, is a serene retreat set in the picturesque Goukamma Nature and Marine Reserve.

The serviced suites and villas all have breathtaking views of the Groenvlei lake and landscaped garden from private patios and balconies. Although the suites have their own kitchenettes, The Bistro and bar offer fine dining. We offer cuisine, classically prepared with a unique touch by our passionate chef. While enjoying the view of Groenvlei, discreet service will ensure that the delicate balance of food, wine and good company remains the main event. Whether your choice is Breakfast, Something Light or A la Carte, you are assured of a culinary pleasure. A fine selection of local South African wines is available to complement your meal. The dining experience can be completed with an aromatic coffee, warming cognac or liqueur. For the connoisseur or mere puffer, a selection of Cuban cigars is on offer from the humidor - sink back into a leather couch and enjoy the ambience.

The Tranquility Spa on the Lake boasts sauna and steam rooms, an indoor heated relaxation pool and a gym open to guests. We believe that when guests leave Lake Pleasant Living, they should feel pampered, relaxed and rejuvenated.

Lake Pleasant Living offers prolific birdlife, exceptional bass-fishing, mountain biking, boating and beautiful unspoilt beaches nearby, as well as many world-class golf courses and a wide variety of attractions to enjoy."
