Overview of Hudson Manor – Entabeni, Knysna

From an elevated position above Knysna, the guesthouse surveys the lagoon and town from a quiet, hilltop farm setting.

Location & Setting

The approach is via Welbedacht Lane, about 4.5 km from town, placing guests within a short drive of the waterfront, beaches and indigenous forests. The wider Garden Route of lagoons, estuaries and viewpoints unfolds along scenic roads in every direction. Driving time to George Airport is typically around one hour in normal conditions, making Hudson Manor a convenient stop between Cape Town and the Eastern Cape.

Three north-facing rooms take king or twin beds, and two smaller west-facing rooms are doubles. Free Wi-Fi runs through the house, and satellite TV is in the best room and the central lounge.

Facilities

A lounge and a wrap-around patio look over the pond and the Knysna lagoon. Breakfast is served on site, and for other meals most guests head to Knysna’s restaurants along the waterfront and in town. The house sits on a small working farm, close to beaches, forest walks, boating and golf.
