Parkes Manor

Parkes Manor is the Grande Dame among the guest houses in Knysna, a timeless classic reviving the charme and elegance of a long gone era.

Situated in a large park-like garden the manor house offers beautiful views over the Knysna lagoon. Reopened in 2013 and carefully restored to detail Parkes Manor offers the ultimate hospitality experience in a calm and cosy environment but yet well positioned to easily access all amenities the center of the Garden Route has to offer.
