In the heart of the Garden Route, nestled between the quaint town of Knysna and the famous Knysna Heads, lies Pumula Lodge – “the place of rest”. And that is exactly what the visitor will find when entering the gates of Pumula.

The lodge, with its tranquil, parkland setting is the ideal place for local and overseas visitors alike. At Pumula you can get away from the hustle and bustle. It is difficult to imagine that you are only five minutes away from the centre of town. Yet, the location allows for easy access to the many attractions in the area: from playing golf at one of the many world-class courses, to dining out, or if you’re feeling adventurous, hiking on one of the many trails in the area. The range of activities is extensive.

Pumula Lodge is situated on the Cape Birding Route and nature and bird lovers can enjoy the abundant bird life supported by the beautiful, indigenous garden. Over 100 species have been identified to date.

Pumula Lodge with its informal, relaxed and friendly atmosphere further offers guests a “tree-top” breakfast, served in the well-appointed dining room.

Wake up to the twittering sound of birds, take a stroll through the garden with the resident guinea-fowl family going about their daily routine, relax next to the sparkling pool, enjoy a barbeque or sit on your own private balcony.
