Laird's Lodge sits in a 25 acre country estate, which is perfectly situated between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay in the heart of the famous Garden Route.  The focus of the estate is a gracious Cape Dutch Homestead, set within flowery gardens, whose large high-ceilinged rooms combine elegance and charm with comfortable, spacious accommodation.  The Homestead offers spectacular mountain views, wide open spaces, a secluded swimming pool and gentle walks around the estate. Accommodation is in 15 individually-decorated rooms and suites, in the main house and in the garden, that convey a feeling of tranquil elegance and include cushioned comfort, neutral colours, percale linen and quality toileteries.  All rooms have en-suite facilities and most have a private terrace.  The Lodge kitchen serves up sumptuous breakfasts, fine wines and gourmet dinners specialising in seafood and game, and flavoured with fresh herbs from the garden. The Lodge is a short drive to pristine beaches, world class golf courses and magnificent hiking trails, including the world-famous Robberg Nature and Marine Reserve and the Tsitsikamma National Park.  The Garden Route offers suprisingly varied activities for everyone, from bike trails to a Tree Top Tour, traversing 30 metres above the forest floor.  For the adventurous there are scenic flights, gliding, paragliding, blackwater tubing, horse riding and water sports, while for the less energetic there is the Outeniqua Tjoe-choo, a unique steam train, the Elephant Park (the legacy of the Knysna Elephant), Monkeyland (a primate sanctuary), golf, whale and dolphin watching (in season) and beer and oyster tasting (both renowned local products).  Style Relaxed and comfortable country house Air/Con No Dining Yes Children Yes No. of Bedrooms 13 rooms, 2 suites Pool Yes Activities Swimming pool and walks on the estate.  Wide variety of land and water based activities locally, as per above description.
