Knysna River Club by First Private Stays — Apartment Accommodation
Sun Valley Drive, Costa Sarda, 6570 Knysna, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
Positioned along the edge of Knysna Lagoon, this apartment complex divides its accommodations between two distinct settings: forest-facing units surrounded by ferns and garden greenery, and waterfront chalets with open views across the water. Each has a private balcony and parking on-site. A private jetty extends over the lagoon, and a tree-lined pool offers an alternative to the water.
BBQ facilities and flat-screen TVs are standard across units. Meals beyond the kitchen are handled by an on-site restaurant housed in the original manor house — a detail that gives the property more architectural character than most self-catering options in Knysna. Bollard Bay Beach sits roughly three kilometres away.
The town centre, with its waterfront market and oyster bars, is close enough to make Knysna's familiar pleasures easy to reach without the property feeling embedded in them. For those who want lagoon access without the Heads crowds, the setting here is quieter and more sheltered.

Knysna River Club offers luxury chalets on the edge of Knysna Lagoon, in the heart of the Garden Route. It offers a private jetty and a pool surrounded by shady trees and well-tended gardens. The resort offers security, privacy and comfort for guests looking to unwind, and is the ideal venue from which to explore the quaint lagoon-side town of Knysna. Walk or cycle to Thesen Islands on the bricked promenade alongside the lagoon or take an easy 5 km jog to the famous Knysna Heads. Set aside a day to explore the vast lagoon with its many secluded beaches or throw a line from the jetty into the Knysna lagoon in front of the resort. Wake to the sound of birdsong and take your morning coffee onto the deck. Go for an early swim in the lagoon or the resort's inviting pool before starting your day with a delicious breakfast.
Whether you choose a Garden Chalet or Lagoon Chalet, you will find all our chalets airy, spacious and comfortably appointed. Choose from one bedroom, two bedroom and inter leading chalets. All chalets include a fully-equipped kitchen and a private balcony.
The on-site restaurant is set in the original manor house and offers a selection of sea food, vegetables and meats. The bar is available for refreshing drinks in the evenings.
