Hope Villa News

We are very excited that Hope Villa has made it into the pages of the February 2021 issue of Getaway magazine!!!

Our Traveller Review Award recognises our efforts to offer outstanding hospitality in spite of all of last year’s challenges.

Think of Knysna and what do you think of? The Heads, Knysna lagoon, oysters, beautiful beaches, forests, perhaps East Head Café? Then look no further because Hope Villa ticks all those boxes!

We are always so excited for your arrival which brings longer nights, more rain, green grass, happy frogs, the Knysna Oyster Festival, boots and jackets, soups and red wine and roaring fires in the Hope Villa lounge. But your arrival at Hope Villa also means that Europeans stay in Europe to enjoy their summer, and South Africans go into hibernation. This of course gives us the opportunity to recharge, rejuvenate and relax. But enough already! We’ve been there, done that and now we look forward to welcoming your sister Summer back for a couple of months. We are sure you won’t be offended by my writing this letter to you.

The present piece of land on which the Hope Villa building stands on is today known as Knysna Erf 4869. However, this wasn’t always the case...
