    Peter is an exceptional host, very kind and willing to help. He was waiting for us until late in the evening for our check-in. The house has an amazing view and is very quiet. It also have a kitchen. We love, love everything about this location.

Enjoy peace and tranquility in the three star graded Owl’s Roost Apartments. Part of a private residence set in an elevated position in the exclusive Heads suburb where the Knysna River enters the Southern Indian Ocean. Surrounded by typical coastal bush vegetation they have prolific bird life including the Knysna Turaco (Loerie). The views are exquisite and range from the Brenton Hills over the Lagoon to the Outeniqua Mountains and parts of Knysna.
We are a retired couple and having travelled extensively are aware of what guests expect from a self catering apartment. We like to think that we have met those expectations in what we have done with our apartments. We have no permanent staff and manage both apartments ourselves.
