Head Over Hills

On the edge of the Knysna Heads, the five-star Head Over Hills luxury retreat has stunning views of the surrounding ocean and mountains. Whether you want to explore Knysna’s beautiful surrounds or just appreciate the views from the deck or infinity pool, this is a wonderful Garden Route retreat.

Book a boat trip on the lagoon, a sunset cruise, an eco-safari, a marine eco tour or walking and cycling tours, all of which are available in Knysna or the surrounding areas. Alternatively, explore Knysna’s many beautiful beaches, enjoy relaxing in-house massages, hire golf clubs and head out for the day, or rent bikes from the retreat. 

Head Over Hills offers eight rooms: four Suites and four Deluxe Rooms, all with sea views, private balconies, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV and Nespresso machines among other luxuries. In season, two- to three-course lunches and dinners are served and guests can also choose a bottle of South African wine from the wine cellar to enjoy with a meal or as the sun sets below the ocean horizon.
