Portland Manor Knysna, Garden Route

Portland Manor is a historical country estate, situated on a working farm in Rheenendal, a 25 minute drive from central Knysna, on the scenic Garden Route. Surrounded by 212 hectares of undisturbed wilderness with forests of indigenous trees and rich birdlife, the recently refurbished Residence and Manor House have views across the landscaped gardens to the Lawnwood Dam and beyond to the Outeniqua Mountains.

With some activities available on-site and many more in the surrounding forests, mountains and beaches, outdoor sports lovers will revel in the trails for hiking, running and mountain biking, and the expansive dam which offers fishing, paddling and swimming. For those who just want to escape the bustle of city life, this country estate, close to the Knysna forests, is the perfect opportunity to kick back, relax, appreciate the beautiful surrounds and breathe in the fresh country air.

Accommodation

Residence

Accommodation at the Residence is in 15 recently refubished rooms. Comfortable and airy, they are elegantly decorated in a contemporary Victorian style. Choose from our Standard, Deluxe or Family Rooms depending on your specific needs.

The Manor house

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of the late 19th century as you indulge in a one-of-a-kind experience. The Manor House, built in 1871 by the visionary Henry Barrington, has withstood the test of time after rising from the ashes of the devastating Great Fire of 1869. It stands today as a testament to resilience and offers guests a glimpse into the grandeur of that era.

The ensuite rooms can be booked individually, or the Manor House is available for exclusive use bookings complete with a private chef ready to serve you mouth-watering meals in the elegant grand dining room.
