What a beautiful establishment with the most spectacular views! The service is absolutely first class and we were made to feel special from the minute we walked through the door. We were served drinks on the deck where there is a beautiful rim-flow pool and a Jacuzzi. The sound of the sea and the views are unbelievable. The rooms are... More

What a lovely guesthouse! The views steal the show for sure! Our room had incredible views over the ocean & Heads. The sound of the ocean at night is incredible! Sara, the hostess, is such a lovely person and the perfect person for this position. She is professional, a real hands-on type of person and super helpful. Dare I say... More

We spent 8 days in Head over Hills over December 2012. It was a perfect establishment, beautiful views, superb rooms and consistent attention to detail. Sara is just right as a hostess, she strikes the right balance between attention, friendliness and professionalism. All in all a place to remember and to be recommended.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to spend one night in the View Point room - I have just one word - WOW! Being the corner room, it had absolutely stunning views of the Heads and ocean. It was such a pleasure just to sit on the large balcony with a glass of wine and to forget about everything... More

My husband and I spent two wonderful days at Head over Hills during March 2013 at this amazing hotel. We chose to stay in the Viewpoint Room which certainly lives up to its name with splendid views of the Heads and Ocean. The hotel is situated on the highest point of the Heads at Knysna and so has unrestricted views.... More

We had a great stay in the Captains Room. Views are breathtaking. Sara and her husband are great hosts - couldnt do enough for us. Definitely need a car and very winding hill road to the property. If you want complete relaxationfor a few days you cant do better. The whole property is beautifully maintained.

We arrived on the 10th Jan 2013 to a warm & friendly welcome by Sara. After a 5 hour drive from Cape Town the welcome drink was just what we needed. The hotel & room facilities were superb and of the highest standard, comparable to any 5 star establishment around the world. The view from the Knysna Heads and our... More

Head over Hills offered exactly what I needed. I was looking for a quiet place with beautiful views, to relax. Head over Hills was exactly it. I was able to chill, read books and connect with my God. It was misty when we arrived, which turned out to be a good thing as I woke up to a suprisingly breath-taking... More
