With 11 little wooden chalets, set in a mostly indigenous garden, Inyathi Guest Lodge gives the idea of a romantic, African village, right in the heart of Knysna, South Africa! The Victorian baths, the separate entrances, the outdoor veranda's and the abundant bird life complement the picturesque environment.
Rooms: All host chalets are equipped with colour TV, coffee and tea making facilities, heaters as well as fans. All bathrooms are en-suite, and have a shower or Victorian bath, washbasin and toilet. Linen as well as towels are provided (but it would be appreciated if you could bring your own beach towel...) and the chalets are serviced daily. Establishment have got the adapters for the European plugs, as well as hairdryers on request.
Host breakfast is an experience on its own, with a mix of both English and continental influences. You'll find your favourite cereals on the buffet, as well as fruit juices, milk, yoghurt, fresh fruit, tea, and most importantly a decent cup of filter coffee! Brown bread, white toast and cheese finalize the continental part of the buffet, while the eggs and bacon complement the English part of breakfast. indigenous yellowwoods, lush oak trees and 'fruitful' guava, plum and banana trees form the basis of Inyathi's bush-like garden. Stone paths and wooden steps wind their way through this little oasis, filled with ferns and the sound of soothing reeds. Sunbirds and cape-white-eyes fight for attention over the blooming strelicia's, birds-of-paradise, the strikingly orange canna's or the elegant white arum lilies. In the evening, when soft lights light this romantic setting, you wish you would never have to leave.
