Luxury Holiday and Self-catering Establishments

Vanessa has been a resident of Pezula Golf Estate for 25 years. Her hosting journey began in 2021 when she launched Pezula Magic Retreat. The growing success of this establishment drove her to renovate 6 more units at her own residence on the estate. In August of 2022, alongside a team of seven, she launched “Pezula Magic”.

Pezula Magic consists of 2 properties situated at separate addresses on Pezula Golf Estate with stunning views of the golf course and Knysna Lagoon.

Pezula Magic Retreat

The first establishment is a 4-bedroom, self-catering, luxury home that is located on the 7th tee box of the iconic Pezula Championship Golf Course. Launched in 2021, this elegantly furnished, homely and spacious property offers guests the ideal home away from home. The house can sleep 8 adults and includes a fully-equipped kitchen, outdoor social/braai area, 4.5 bathrooms, 2 lounges, a dining area and more! We have recently installed an inverter system offering 24/7 Wi-Fi, TV & some lights during power outages.
