About Pumula Lodge

In the heart of the Garden Route, nestled between the town of Knysna and the famous Knysna Heads, lies Pumula Lodge - “the place of rest”.

The well-appointed and eco-friendly lodge in a tranquil, parkland setting, is the ideal place to sit back, relax and enjoy a sundowner on your private deck overlooking the garden. A tree-top breakfast amongst the birds adds to the unique experience and don't be surprised if a few “tame” and opportunistic feathered friends join you for a titbit, preferably pecked from your hand.

A private entrance leads to five en-suite bedrooms , each with its own deck overlooking the garden and swimming pool. Rooms are well-appointed with everything you need to make your stay a memorable one. There is a covered barbeque area next to the swimming pool for those guests who prefer to relax at home and perhaps have a barbeque (or as we say in the vernacular, a braai).

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
