This union will now offer guests 106 multiple room types, 49 Standard and 57 Luxury rooms all the while still delivering high quality guest service. Both hotels are fully Covid-19 compliant with all staff being vaccinated and strict safety protocols in place.
Built in 1998, the Knysna Log-Inn Hotel embodies an “indigenous” concept that combines the character and spirit of the surrounding forests with Knysna’s romantic wood cutting history and elephants.
