The Bell Tavern

Knysna’s smallest pub, The Bell Tavern, is located on the site of the original Belvidere farmhouse and seats just 36 people inside the cosy structure with its wood-burning fireplace. Another 60 guests can be accommodated outside under the pergola. Unique features of the pub include the wine cellar which is viewed through a window in the floor, the yellow wood ceiling and ironwood block floor. The Bell, which is popular with both locals and visitors, is known for its delicious pub meals, craft beer on tap, and exciting events and specials.

The Manor House

The Manor House, which dates back to 1849, houses Reception, Caroline’s dining room, a library room and the kitchen. It was built by Thomas Henry Duthie who bought the property from his father-in-law, George Rex, who called it Belvidere, meaning “Beautiful Vistas”. The house followed a British (rather than Cape Dutch) design known as Georgian, with large doors and windows and an uncluttered façade and was built of local materials.
