Iconic Knysna hotel adds new guest experiences

‘The Boat’ on the Knysna Lagoon.

Guests at St. James Country House Hotel in Knysna, Western Cape, can now enjoy two new, exclusive guest experiences – 90-minute cruises on the Knysna Lagoon and on-site massages.

Sandy Rahmouni, General Manager of St James, says: “Alex Mvandaba, skipper of our pontoon barge, is now taking guests upriver to the Belvidere and the White bridge section of the lagoon. This section is only really accessible by private boat as most of the other cruises are to the Heads and back. This area is steeped in history. In fact, the early ships used to moor in front of the Belvidere area, rather than the current harbour area.”

She adds that on-site massages allow guests an additional opportunity to relax, without leaving the property.

The St. James is 2.8km from Knysna town centre and the iconic Knysna Waterfront.
