Yellowwood Lodge is an exclusive accommodation establishment in Knysna in the heart of South Africa’s world famous Garden Route. Step back in 1897, when Yellowwood Lodge was built... Knysna was a quaint, sleepy little village on the shores of the splendid Knysna Lagoon. Time stood still. Things were different then, everything had value and sentiment. . . You can almost imagine a Victorian lady and gentleman strolling through the gardens, or having tea on the verandah overlooking the Lagoon, or playing croquet on the sweeping lawns of Yellowwood Lodge.

Yellowwood Lodge is the perfect setting for an authentic Monet or Renoir painting, reflecting the splendour and grandeur of a bygone era - the ultimate in style and class of the late 19th century. Olde Worlde Victorian style, unique in its charm makes Yellowwood Lodge an absolute must for the most discerning guest. Yellowwood Lodge epitomizes gracious living, for those who appreciate the finer things in life - in fairy tale-like surroundings that romantic dreams are made of. This is British Colonial Africa at its best, without exaggeration!
The supreme standard of comfort, hospitality and impeccable service ensures a truly unforgettable stay to even the most weary of world travellers. Yellowwood Lodge is strictly a non-smoking establishment ensuring an ambience of quietness, freshness and tranquility. Conveniently situated, Yellowwood Lodge is barely 5 minutes walk from Knysna’s famous Waterfront and all the quaint shops, shopping centres, markets and banks from the centre of town, while being within one hour's drive of almost all the famous Garden Route attractions.

A delicious English as well as a full buffet breakfast is served in an atmosphere of original, indigenous Stinkwood and Yellowwood charm in the grand dining room with its breathtaking chandeliers.
