Lairds Lodge Country Estate is set on a 24-acre estate with distant mountain views, perfectly positioned between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay in the heart of South Africa’s Garden Route.

Laird’s Lodge offers easy access to unspoiled beaches, world class golf courses, scenic nature reserves and limitless excursion options.

Each of the elegant, high-ceilinged and individually decorated en suite rooms features air conditioned facilities, percale linen, specialised toiletries, gowns, room safes, telephones and well stocked tea and coffee stations.

The front lounge with its comfortable couches, small library, complimentary internet access, wood burning fireplace, and satellite television is an ideal place to enjoy a cup of tea and the day’s decadent cake, or something stronger.

Breakfasts serve fresh fruits, just-baked breads, croissants and muffins, homemade jams and preserves, and cooked specialities.

Pre-dinner drinks are enjoyed around heated braziers in the candlelit courtyard or in the informal brandy lounge.

Specialising in seafood and game dishes, 4-course gourmet dinners are served in the traditional reed ceilinged dining room, or can be taken in the rustic charm of the wine room.

The secluded swimming pool is in beautifully landscaped gardens which offer an opportunity for a leisurely stroll.
