Head over Hills

Beds were the best I have ever slept on, Hastens Beds. Service and staff attention impeccable at all times. Breakfast fabulous with many choices and Dinner is optional and was very good. Once you are there you actually do not want to go anywhere and just take in the sea air, views and peace.

What began as a simple stopover on our Garden Route journey to Cape Town transformed into an unexpected highlight of our entire holiday. Perched magnificently above the famous Knysna Heads, Head Over Hills luxury retreat captured our hearts in just one memorable night. The panoramic views of the Indian Ocean are simply spectacular, made even more special by the incredibly attentive and warm staff who ensure every moment of your stay is perfect. Nature put on an extraordinary show during our brief visit - we were treated to pods of playful dolphins, massive schools of fish creating silvery patterns in the water, and even the thrilling sight of sharks breaching the surface. The abundance of seabirds added to this mesmerising natural spectacle, making every moment spent on the property's viewing decks an adventure in itself. The attention to detail in our room was exemplary, with the crowning glory being the luxurious Hästens bed - renowned worldwide for their exceptional comfort. After a long day of driving, sinking into this heavenly bed felt like pure indulgence. This boutique hotel represents remarkable value for money, offering a level of luxury and natural beauty that's truly world-class. What was meant to be a simple overnight stay along our road trip turned out to be an experience we'll never forget. Head Over Hills isn't just a hotel, it's a destination that captures your heart, even if just for one night.

Venue worth to visit Great to be back at the beautiful venue after 6 years. However the venue needs to maintain an ever doing upgrade and maintenance aa the location and rooms - which will be torn and worn after the years. Another issue - it suits better to have fresh flowers in the restaurant - than wethered leaves and flowers, as the hotel is a 5 star boutique hotel..

We stayed in the pansy shell room. The room over the bay is stunning and we saw a pod of dolphins on our first day. It also offers a great view of sunset. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and dinner wonderful.

This was an all around amazing experience. We stayed in the whale suite which had amazing views of ocean and cliff sides. We saw a pod of dolphins before dinner. Dinner was made there by an excellent chef. Highly recommend staying here.
