Pezula Hotel

Even before Pezula Hotel came on board in 2012, Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa epitomized luxury and adventure along the fabled Garden Route of South Africa’s Western Cape. Fronting the Indian Ocean in the exclusive community of Pezula Private Estate, the globally sophisticated, locally inspired Conrad Pezula Resort & Spa offers 83 sumptuous suites, an award-winning spa and fitness center, superb dining, and golf on an 18-hole championship course. Pezula’s private castle adds a novel option for resort accommodations. And that’s just for starters.

Two executive conference rooms that can be transformed into one room hosting up to 140 delegates open to terraces with panoramic views of the ocean and Knysna Lagoon across the Pezula Championship Golf Course. Both meeting rooms come with state-of-the-art Internet technology and audiovisual equipment along with a staff devoted to the success of every event. A business center remains open for office needs around the clock.

Incentive groups select from a vast range of on- and off-site activities. Beyond the resort’s bistro-style gourmet restaurant, cocktail bar, fairways, spa, and fitness center, the estate’s Field of Dreams complex offers tennis courts, a sports field, facilities for pétanque and archery, and a golf practice range. Its Barnyard & Stables launches horseback rides on trails that wind through nearly 2,500 acres of native fynbos and forest. Opportunities extend to excursions ranging from mild to wild and all the attractions of nearby Knysna, a lively cosmopolitan town ranked among South Africa’s favorite holiday destinations.
