Pumula Lodge

Pumula Lodge has been a beloved place for tourists looking for peace and quiet in Knysna since it opened in 1997. Pieter and Rensia Ellis developed this eco-friendly lodge as a place for visitors to relax in nature. “Pumula” means “the place of rest,” and the lodge’s peaceful parkland position between Knysna and the famous Knysna Heads is a great fit for the moniker.

Pumula Lodge Rooms

Pumula Lodge has five large, well-furnished en-suite rooms, each with a design that combines comfort with nature. Each suite has its own terrace that looks out over the beautiful garden or pool, making it the perfect place to unwind with a drink at sunset. Thoughtful extras like heating beneath the carpet, computerised safes, flat-screen TVs, and mattresses that don’t cause allergies help you sleep better. Guests may select between double rooms, king-size beds, or twin beds, all of which are quite comfortable.

The lodge is dedicated to being environmentally friendly, which is seen in the way it runs its business. It has a little effect on the environment without sacrificing elegance. Pumula Lodge is a quiet place for both local and foreign guests to relax and refresh, whether they are there to see the Garden Route or just to relax.

Eating and Relaxing

Enjoy a delicious “tree-top” breakfast to start your day, along with kind service. The resort doesn’t have a restaurant on site, but it’s simple to go to Knysna’s famous eating scene from there. The peaceful garden and pool area are the ideal places to relax. The beautiful vistas and many birds that live there add to the feeling of serenity.

Amenities and Facilities

Guests may use magnificent communal spaces, a refreshing swimming pool, and a well-kept native garden developed by the late Professor Ken Durham. The garden is a birdwatcher’s dream since it attracts more than 120 different kinds of birds. Other benefits include safe parking and easy access to surrounding attractions.
