Fodor's Expert Review St. James of Knysna

The Point, Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa

Immerse yourself in elegance at this gleaming white country house sitting right on the edge of Knysna Lagoon. Wander around in a spacious suite with uninterrupted views of the water, wander around the landscaped formal gardens with tranquil koi ponds, or stroll down to the private pier with free use of canoes and fishing equipment. Indoors the setting is light and bright, with some lovely antiques.
