The Fairy Knowe is a three star hotel with 42 guest rooms set in the Wilderness National Park Lake District, on the banks of the Touw River. Surrounded by lush gardens with beautiful riverside accommodation and central to all tourist attractions. We are situated almost in the centre of the Garden Route – it’s about 45 minutes’ drive to both Mossel Bay and Knysna, and a little less than an hour to Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo, so it’s perfectly placed for tour groups and individuals who want a base from which to explore the region.
