Head over Hills

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.
