Our take
St. James of Knysna is the one I would choose for a luxurious stay on the Knysna Lagoon. The three-acre estate with landscaped gardens, the two swimming pools and the complimentary lagoon cruise create a full holiday on site, and the spa and wellness focus suits couples and honeymooners. It welcomes families as well as adults-only guests. If you want a lively town-centre base, the estate's calm and lagoon setting may feel too secluded.
- Take advantage of the complimentary lagoon cruise for a unique perspective of Knysna.
- Explore the landscaped gardens and find a quiet spot by one of the two swimming pools.
- Consider a room with lagoon views to fully appreciate the beautiful setting.
