Belvidere Manor Facilities

Dining
Belvidere Manor's new-look restaurant serving a contemporary menu embracing the 'gastronomica' ethics of sustainable, locally sourced produce - slow-cooked or lightly tossed - the result will delight!
Knysna's smallest pub is housed on the site of the original Belvidere farmhouse, and indeed a feature of the pub is the wine cellar viewed through the window in the floor, where freshly caught game would have been hung.

With a yellowwood ceiling and ironwood block floor, The Bell is a quaint favourite of the Belvidere locals. Relish pub meals served outside in the garden in summer, but in the winter enjoy the cosy warmth of the wood-burning stove. A wide selection of beers, wines & spirits are available.
