Accommodation Description
Alkira Lodge is a breathtaking escape overlooking the charming coastal town of Knysna along the scenic Garden Route. Alkira Lodge and Private Villa offer a sophisticated, modern retreat in an unmatched natural setting, where privacy, luxury, and personalised service converge. In addition to 360-degree views of the fynbos-dotted mountains, sweeping ocean and tranquil lagoon, guests at Alkira Lodge will be wowed by the leading-edge design that effortlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, offering a perfect mix of modern comfort and uninterrupted vistas.
Alkira Lodge offers a range of accommodation options suited to all tastes and occasions, including six private suites within the main lodge, a separate two-bedroom Lakeview Apartment, and the exclusive three-bedroom Shufflers Villa (all available to be booked out as one offering an exclusive experience). The lodge also features a view-drenched infinity pool, Jacuzzi, fire pit, tanning deck with sun loungers, and spacious living/dining areas from which to enjoy drinks and delicious prepared meals.
Setting Description
Alkira Lodge is set within a private nature conservancy along the Garden Route region of South Africa, offering abundant birdlife, shy antelope, and even endangered butterflies. Guests have the opportunity to explore the reserve, go hiking, take a bike ride, or simply enjoy an in-room massage amidst this beautiful natural landscape. The lodge provides a birds-eye view of the Garden Route's unique offerings, with Knysna's activities, shops, restaurants, and Blue Flag beaches just a short drive away.
Alkira Lodge, meaning "sky," is aptly named, as it sits at atop a hill allowing guests to connect with the ever-changing canvas of the South African sky. With its sophisticated design, breathtaking views, and a setting that embraces nature, Alkira Lodge offers an unforgettable experience for travellers seeking a truly special escape.

Knysna is surrounded by water; beautiful beaches, for walking, for sun-bathing, for swimming or for learning to surf or stand up paddle (SUP). Fishing from land or from boat in the lagoon or the sea. Canoe any of the magnificent rivers and lakes in the area. Hire a luxury speed boat for a private tour of the waterways, a water transfer to the beach bar and restaurant at the private Featherbed reserve or a champagne sunset cruise. Take an adrenaline filled ride through The Heads on a speed boat and view dolphins and whales (May to November).
Nature’s beauty is everywhere and walks and hikes guided or self-guided are plentiful both in the forest and along the coastline. Popular with birders, take a bird book and a flask of coffee to one of the hides in the area and catch the ‘early birds’ or we can arrange a tour with a local birder to share their knowledge.
Knysna is the number one spot in South Africa for mountain biking and bikes can be hired for guided and self guided mountain biking. Or bring your own bike. Alkira has storage and hose facilities on site.
