Setting Description


Alkira Lodge is set within a private nature conservancy along the Garden Route region of South Africa, offering abundant birdlife, shy antelope, and even endangered butterflies. Guests have the opportunity to explore the reserve, go hiking, take a bike ride, or simply enjoy an in-room massage amidst this beautiful natural landscape. The lodge provides a birds-eye view of the Garden Route's unique offerings, with Knysna's activities, shops, restaurants, and Blue Flag beaches just a short drive away.

Alkira Lodge, meaning "sky," is aptly named, as it sits at atop a hill allowing guests to connect with the ever-changing canvas of the South African sky. With its sophisticated design, breathtaking views, and a setting that embraces nature, Alkira Lodge offers an unforgettable experience for travellers seeking a truly special escape.
