High in the hills above Knysna, situated in the heart of South Africa's Garden Route, a beautiful historical working Citrus and game farm is Portland Manor. Hosts offer 4 stars accommodation in either Manor House, established 1864, and Lawnwood Lodge. Each offers the discerning guest the opportunity to relax and to be spoiled with fine dining in the exquisite Manor dining room. There are 29 rooms in total, 8 in the Manor House and 21 in the Lawnwood Lodge. The Manor House has no TV or telephone, only tea and coffee making facilities and hairdryer. Selected rooms have 4 poster beds and spectacular views over the game park and dam (lake) to the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance. Host Lawnwood Lodge on the other hand has TV, DSTV, telephone, modem line, tea and coffee facilities and hairdryer. The stylish and atmospheric decor of the lounge will transport you back to a bygone era. The Cape yellow wood floor and ceiling give this room a wonderful feel. The baby grand piano is played to host guests as they gather in the library, bar and lounge for pre dinner drinks. The ambience that the music creates is a perfect start to a truly wonderful evening of fine wining and dining.

Here at Portland Manor hosts offer a variety of services to host guests, and all manner of interesting activities to help while away the days. In the game camp you will find ostrich, black wildebeest, bontebok, zebra and Hubertha, the only hippopotamus in the Garden Route. You may also be lucky enough to spot some of the indigenous species, which include baboons, bushbuck, bushpig, clawless cape otter, duiker, grysbok, lynx, vervet monkeys or even the elusive and extremely rare mountain leopard. Portland Manor specializes in weddings, private functions and conferencing.
