The Flagship · Above Knysna

The Pilot House On the cliff's edge.

A landmark stone estate perched on the cliffs above Knysna — an infinity pool that spills toward the sea, panoramic ocean and lagoon views from every terrace, and room to gather everyone you love.

The Home

A landmark, not just a stay.

The flagship of our collection, The Pilot House is a hand-built stone estate on the cliff's edge — sweeping ocean views on one side, the lagoon and mountains on the other. An infinity pool, sculpted terraces, mature gardens and a wedding boma make it as fitting for a milestone celebration as it is for an unforgettable family holiday.
