Willow Point, Sedgefield – sleeps 2-8 (main house) & sleeps additional 8 guests in two additional cabins
Willow Point is situated on a glorious twelve hectare private, nature and water-fronted site on the Swart River and Swartvlei lagoon, along the lake district between George and Knysna. The hill and floodplain sites are thick with indigenous vegetation and the house commands elevated 180 degree views over the water. Outward Bound manages the property and operates adventurous courses for children, from time-to time, on the tree-lined floodplain and provides access to some water-sports. Explorers Club helps support this initiative.
The double-storey main house has 180 degree views from the main deck and open plan kitchen, living room and dining areas. It can accommodate four adults and four children in three en-suite bedrooms. In addition there are two x two bedroom cabins which sleep up to four additional guests in each one. The main house can be rented out separately. The cabins are an add-on to the main house but are not rented out on their own.
