How many people can stay overnight in the place I have booked?
Beautiful Knysna Villas offers discounted rates on a sliding scale at some of our properties. This is part of our commitment to offer value for all our clients. Only the number of people that you have booked for may stay over. Most properties have space to invite friends to visit as long as the rules of the property are followed, neighbours are considered, no additional people other than those booked and paid for sleep over, and no events are held unless booked and agreed in advance.

If I book an exclusive use villa can I host an event there?
Properties are let on the basis of a maximum number of guests. Beautiful Knysna Villas has a contract with our Villa owners for maximum numbers and by booking a Beautiful Knysna Villa, our guests agree to this. Some properties can only comfortably accommodate the maximum number of guests and others can comfortably accommodate various numbers of visitors. However in all cases events and sleepovers are not allowed. To host an event at one of our Beautiful Knysna Villas please do contact us prior to booking for assistance. If we can assist you we will. We even have an in-house team of events specialists.

What chef services do you offer?
Bookings at Alkira Lodge include breakfast and the option for dinner, and for other Beautiful Knysna Villa properties our chefs are happy to assist by arrangement and to cater for your specific needs. Includes options for private chef and drop off meals freshly prepared daily by our chefs to all our properties.

What does exclusive use mean?
You have the exclusive and private use of the villa, cottage or apartment that you have booked for the number of people that you booked for. You can choose whether to add services from outside suppliers (chefs, cleaners etc) at most properties. This is unlike a hotel where only your bedroom is private and you may share the common areas with other guests.

What other services do you offer?
Guided private group activities from boating to hiking and biking. Health getaways, in house spa treatments, golfing and special events. Just talk to us about your ideas and we will assist. Housekeeping and laundry services, private chefs, babysitters etc can be included at your discretion.
