Enjoy peace and tranquillity in the 70 sqm Owl’s Roost Apartment suitable for two adults. Part of a private residence it is set in an elevated position on a steep slope on The Heads where the Knysna River Lagoon enters the Southern Indian Ocean. Surrounded by typical coastal bush vegetation it has prolific birdlife including the Knysna Loerie. The views are exquisite and range from the Brenton Hills over the Lagoon to the Outeniqua Mountains and parts of Knysna.AccommodationFrom the private off-road parking 12 steps lead down to the secluded own entrance. Off a short passage is to the left a double bedroom with extra long twin beds as well a well appointed lounge. Both enjoy the stunning views. On the right is the bathroom with shower cubicle and separate bath as well as a cosy kitchen with a fully equipped breakfast nook.

Activities and AttractionsThere are two waterfront restaurants 750m away as well as a swimming area in the lagoon and off a jetty near the restaurants. Beware of strong tides in the lagoon mouth.
