Pezula Private Estate

The Pezula Group encompasses a number of companies which specialise in the business of leisure, hospitality and lifestyle. From an exclusive residential estate to a private residence club and a luxury resort hotel, Pezula Group has set a global benchmark for extraordinary lifestyle choices and opportunities for investment in two of the most exquisite locations in the world.

With only 255 residential sites, Pezula Private Estate is one of the lowest density projects in South Africa. Plots vary in size from 3 000m2 to 33 000m2 and only 15 percent of the estate is being developed. Eighty five percent of the property will remain pristine indigenous forests and rehabilitated coastal fynbos overlooking the sheltered beaches below the cliffs. When the Pezula Group purchased the cliff-top real estate that was to become Pezula Private Estate, much of it was covered in commercial pine and blue gum forests.Pezula Private Residence Club with Hotel in background The company launched a massive rehabilitation programme to restore the land to its original pristine state. The huge success of this endeavour has been hailed internationally and recognised with a number of prestigious awards. Recently Pezula Private Estate was officially registered with CapeNature as part of The Knysna Coastal Conservancy, together with its surrounding areas. Comprising some 880 hectares of land, the conservancy incorporates all the different property usages on Pezula as well as the adjacent Sparrebosch Home Owners Association. Initiated by Jessica Hayes, Pezula Private Estate environmental manager, the conservancy’s main aims are the conservation of natural resources, the extension of a conservation area network, and the creation of increased public awareness regarding wise management of the natural environment.

Pezula Private Resort & Residence Club has been modelled on a proven global concept and offers members access to a unique holiday residence at Pezula in one of five superb two-bedroom villas located on the golf course. The club is an equity-based investment with a limited number of shareholders who have fractional ownership and use of these residences in perpetuity. Members have access to all of Pezula’s international-standard multi-sports facilities including Pezula Championship Golf Course and South Africa's most luxurious hotel, Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa. Following the huge success of this project – the shares sold out within eight weeks of their launch two years ago – Pezula will soon launch a new and exclusive fractional ownership scheme, Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa Villas, offering just 28 shares at R1, 5m each which will entitle members to the use of one of two ultra-luxury four en-suite bedroom villas located in prime spots close to the Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa. These superbly designed and decorated 500 m² presidential villas with heated pools and stunning views over the golf course to the Knysna Lagoon or the Indian Ocean, will rival any luxury suite or villa in the world.
