There are endless boutique hotels along South Africa’s Garden Route, and the majority of them offer exceptional accommodations, delicious dining options, and a team of friendly staff to help you get the most out of your stay, but there is one property that seems to stand head and shoulders above the rest – and that is Laird’s Lodge Country Estate.

Perfectly positioned between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, Laird’s Lodge is set on a 24-acre estate that is easily accessible for anyone on a self-drive Garden Route tour, and with easy access to all the local attractions such as The Waterfront in Knysna, Robberg Nature and Marine Reserve and the pristine beaches of Plettenberg Bay, it’s the perfect base for any Garden Route adventure.

Laird’s Lodge offers a range of luxury accommodations, and a beautiful restaurant with a courtyard and wine cellar where you enjoy a delicious breakfast, freshly made lunches, and gourmet four course dinners.

Here’s what you can expect when staying at this gorgeous Country Estate on South Africa’s Garden Route…
