Hotel Reopening

South Africa: New Boutique Hotel on the “Garden Route”

The SOUL Private Collection has added a new addition to its small but very fine selection of boutique hotels in South Africa: SOUL on the Heads has recently been welcoming its guests to the picturesque Knysna on the famous “Garden Route” – around 500 kilometers east of Cape Town the popular East Head viewpoint – one of the two cliffs that line the entrance to Knysa’s large lagoon and are known as “Knysna Heads”.

The well-hidden gem consists of just four rooms and two suites – the “Vista Suite” and the luxurious “Cinema Suite” with a private cinema lounge. They all have direct access to the terrace and offer a breathtaking view of the sea – ideal for honeymooners and couples looking for a romantic boutique hotel on the “Garden Route”.

The possible activities around Knysna are diverse – from canoeing and paragliding to golfing and guided walks through nature. SOUL on the Heads can also arrange excursions for explorers to the islands in the bay – Leisure Island and Thesen Island. Lovers can book a romantic sunset lagoon tour.

It is also worth asking about diving offers, because the lagoon was once an industrial port – and the narrow passage through the rugged rocks is always very risky. Not every captain was skilled enough to steer his ship safely into port. That is why today there are numerous wrecks on the bottom of the lagoon that can be dived under supervision. Also not to be missed is the nearby Knysna Elephant Park.

The cheapest room in the SOUL on the Heads can be booked depending on the season from about EUR 187 to 203 per night. The prices for one of the two suites start at around EUR 367 to 399. For some periods of the year there is a minimum stay of two nights. Larger groups can also book the entire hotel exclusively.
