Head over Hills offered exactly what I needed. I was looking for a quiet place with beautiful views, to relax. Head over Hills was exactly it. I was able to chill, read books and connect with my God. It was misty when we arrived, which turned out to be a good thing as I woke up to a suprisingly breath-taking... More

We have had two great nights at this place. At the top of the cliff, the views are absolutely amazing and unbeatable. It gives you a true relaxing holiday athmosphere and due to the fact that this is a small guesthouse, you feel as if the place was your own. Every room has a balcony to overlook the ocean. It...

My wife and I were just driving around the headlands inspecting a few guest houses when we were fortunate enough to meet Sara at Head Over Hills. The views are indeed spectacular but have to say that Sara and her team are the other key ingredients to this place.

My wife and I have just had four nights here and this place is in the most amazing position on the eastern Head in Knysna. You simply can't get any more spectacular setting. Sara, our hostess, provided an incredibly good service all of the time, nothing was too much trouble and she seemed to have a sixth sense to anticipate... More

Fantastic location, probably about as good as it gets overlooking the Heads at Knysna. Rooms are all modern and very clean. Great place to stay especially when you are the only ones there. Sara is great and the service excellent but be warned, the breakfast is megga. One really good thing is that you can get a free taxi to... More

Stayed here for 3 nights just after the New Year, definitely one of the best boutique hotels we have stayed in. Rooms were fantastic and breakfast fit for an Emperor! Sara and Dom were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is off the beaten track, but that is part of it's inherent... More

This place was just a stopover on the way to Port elizabeth for the football match. This place had amazing views when we got there in the night but the next morning they were even more amazing. The rooms were extremely clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was included and was to my taste. Overall the stopover was well worth... More

I stayed here back in February and loved it. My finace spotted it whilst driving through Knysna and insisted that we book a night there en route back to Cape Town...I'm so glad we did. It's not light on the purse, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views are spectacular and the service was lovely, but not over powering.... More

We stayed at Head Over Hills for one night for a special treat as part of an already brilliant holiday in the Western Cape. We loved it and it proved to be a real highlight of our trip. Our stay started with a tour by one of the managers, after which the staff discreetly kept their distance, appearing only to... More
