Alkira Lodge in Knysna Heads, Garden Route is a luxury vacation rental offering panoramic views of ocean, forest, lakes, and mountains. This architectural masterpiece is a private sanctuary where the sky feels infinite, the air is fragrant and every terrace invites you to unwind in nature’s grandeur.

Built with expansive stonework, timber, and glass, Alkira Lodge blends seamlessly into its breathtaking surroundings.
