Hotel information

Bruno and Othmar travelled extensively along the Garden Route, before falling in love with Knysna. After finding the perfect location for their dream, they packed up from Europe and moving to this picturesque town.

They found their Pearl in the Oyster here, a large house with the most spectacular view of the Knysna heads and lagoon. Their vision came to life as they transformed the venue into a magnificent stylish guest house. 'Cambalala; The resting place of the lion. A place to rest..."
