Lagoon views, refined comfort, and space to reconnect. Discover Knysna’s ultimate group escape.
Tucked away in a beautifully landscaped garden at the iconic Knysna Heads, Number Eleven is not just a villa, it’s a retreat in every sense of the word. With spacious living areas, serene views, and direct beach access via timber walkways, this stylish home is ideal for extended families, close friends, or retreat groups looking to relax and reconnect.
Here’s why Number Eleven is the perfect setting for your next escape, whether it’s a wellness weekend, writing retreat, or memorable family gathering.
A PRIVATE VILLA WITH SPACE TO BREATHE
Number Eleven sleeps 10 to 12 guests across four en-suite bedrooms and several beautifully appointed living spaces. Thoughtfully designed with calm colours, large windows, and lagoon-facing views, the home invites rest and reconnection.
Inside, you’ll find:
- A spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area with lagoon and garden views
- A cosy main lounge with a wood-burning fireplace
- A separate air-conditioned TV room that doubles as an extra bedroom
- A guest bathroom with a shower
- A covered upstairs balcony for meals or quiet moments outdoors
The fully equipped kitchen features luxury Le Creuset cookware, a large dining table, and a breakfast bar — perfect for shared cooking experiences, group meals, or a catered retreat.
DESIGNED FOR COMFORTABLE INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING
Number Eleven is arranged over two levels, making the most of its natural surroundings.
- The master bedroom and TV room/5th bedroom are located on the entrance level, together with the kitchen, dining, and living areas, which open onto a covered balcony. It’s the perfect spot for slow breakfasts or sunset wine.
- On the ground level, three bedrooms (one with a private study) open directly onto the pool deck and garden, inviting guests to step outside for a morning swim or alfresco relaxation.
The outdoor entertainment area includes:
- A large infinity pool with an electronic safety cover
- Outdoor shower and sun loungers
- A covered entertainment area, featuring a bar counter with stools, a variety of barbecues (charcoal, open gas, and lidded gas), a drinks fridge with sink and prep area, and a large outdoor dining table
Whether you’re hosting a relaxed group lunch or unwinding with a book and a breeze, the setting encourages stillness and connection.
THOUGHTFULLY APPOINTED BEDROOMS
Each of the four main bedrooms is air-conditioned, en-suite, and designed for deep rest. Expect:
- King-size extra-length beds
- TVs, safes, and beautiful lagoon, pool, and garden views
- Private balconies or glass doors opening onto the outdoors
A fifth sleeping space (the TV room) can comfortably accommodate additional guests or children on a sofa bed. Families are well supported with cots, highchairs, and a babysitting service available on 24 hours’ notice.
PERFECT FOR FAMILY GATHERINGS OR GROUP RETREATS
With space, comfort, and a calming energy throughout, Number Eleven is ideal for:
- Multi-generational family holidays
- Wellness, yoga, or writing retreats
- Small groups of friends seeking meaningful time together
A minimum stay of 3 nights (5 nights during peak season) ensures you have time to settle in and make the most of the setting, whether you spend it exploring Knysna or simply staying still.
