Conrad Pezula

There is no doubt I'm a fan of the Conrad brand and hotels and so far I gave managed to stay at 15 of them. Conrad Pezula is up there with the best of them. Located in Krysna between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth is a little bit of a mission to get to but once you get there you are greeted by marvellous views and a state of the art hotel. On check in I was given one of their Grand suites which is a vila on an amazing 140 square metres! As you walk in there is a huge living room with TV, fireplace and sofas to the right and a round the corner is a massive dining table and a full kitchen behind it. On left is the bedroom which is almost as big as the living room with a bed, desk, divan and another fireplace and behind is a walk in closet and a huge bathroom with both a shower and a big bathtub. The main hotel building houses two restaurants, a bar, the indoor and outdoor pool, the gym and the Spa. As a Hilton diamond member, you get cocktails and canapes between 17 and 19 every evening as well as a nice bottle of wine on arrival. The breakfast is extensive and have all you need and want! The indoor pool is about 12 meters and there is also a sauna and a steam room, the outdoor pool is slightly bigger but is not heated so early season is out but it has a huge sundeck with great views over the bay. The gym is medium-sized with a lot of machines and equipment so it is well worth a visit and you have direct access to the pool from there. Staff are fantastic and very helpful with everything you need and the concierge will help you organise all the sightseeing and book it for you. Overall a fantastic hotel which I thoroughly recommend if you are in the area, it is up there with the top 5 Conrads in the world.

We hosted an annual client conference and the hotel did an outstanding job in making it a memorable event. Room, restaurant and conference facilities were great. What I don't understand is when up market hotels don't have toilet brushes in the rooms.

The room at the Conrad Pezula was outstanding, beautiful decor, large room & bathroom, fireplace in the sitting area & comfortable beds & pillows. They provide a golf cart to drive you to your own little building that you share with five other rooms & the staff is very friendly & helpful. The restaurant was very nice & the food was excellent!!!

We were treated with respect. We have received a very warm welcome on arrival. All round service was of a very high standard. Unfortunately, our stay was very short to further enjoy the excellent service and the royalty provided by every staff member.

We ended up spending a lot more time at the Conrad Pezula after our below average experience at the Pezula Realty self-catering disappointment. Even though we were not staying guests, hotel staff treated us so well. Amazing spot to sit on the sunny terrace & relax with a few drinks, or the many comfy lounge areas as well with fireplaces. Food at Cafe Z was also generally good, especially the chicken livers & braised lamb. The spa is quite pricey and treatments were above-average but not spectacular for the prices... All in all a restful & relaxing spot, and recommend this over self-catering in Knysna or any other hotel in Knysna any day!!!
