Property Description

The Garden Route, a panoramic region idyllically placed between the Indian Ocean and the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains, is home to Lake Pleasant Living Exclusive Holiday Suites in the Knysna district. This charming property, built on the edge of one of the few natural freshwater lakes in the southern hemisphere, is a serene retreat set in the picturesque Goukamma Nature and Marine Reserve.

The serviced suites all have breathtaking views of the Groenvlei lake and landscaped garden from private patios and balconies. Although the suites have their own kitchenettes, there is a food and beverage operation, Feathers Bistro & Bar. Fine dining is an essential aspect of the experience - we strive for excellence in all aspects. We offer cuisine, classically prepared with a unique touch by our passionate chef. While enjoying the view of Groenvlei, discreet service will ensure that the delicate balance of food, wine and good company remains the main event. Inspired by the beautiful natural surroundings, the chef has compiled an appetizing array of dishes - prepared from only the freshest local produce. Whether your choice is Breakfast, Something Light or Feathers A la Carte, you are assured of a culinary pleasure. A fine selection of local South African wines are available to complement your meal. The dining experience can be completed with an aromatic coffee, warming cognac or liqueur. For the connoisseur or mere puffer, a selection of Cuban cigars are on offer from the humidor - sink back into a leather couch and enjoy the ambience.
The Mantis Collection Spa & Gymnasium boast sauna and steam rooms, an indoor heated relaxation pool and a gym open to guests. We believe that when guests leave Lake Pleasant Living, they should feel pampered, relaxed and rejuvenated. Therefore we have our own exclusive spa facilities. A wide range of specialist beauty and body treatments are available and administered by professional staff using a combination of time honoured techniques and trusted international and local products.
Lake Pleasant Living offers prolific birdlife, exceptional bass-fishing, mountain biking, boating and beautiful unspoilt beaches nearby, as well as many world-class golf courses and a wide variety of attractions to enjoy.

Even if you never set foot outside the boundaries of the Lake Pleasant Living Exclusive Holiday Suites, there is enough to keep you busy for days on end. Situated on the shores of Groenvlei, in the Bird Sanctuary of the Goukamma Nature and Marine Reserve, the possibilities are endless.
