Inside, guests will find comfortable, well-furnished rooms and breathtaking views of the rocks and sea through its many uniquely shaped windows. The space The property is a large stone-built structure built on a rock on the edge of the beach at Noetzie. It has been built to resemble a medieval castle and is full of comfy, well-furnished rooms with beautiful views over the rocks and sea from its many shaped windows. The accommodation comprises 6 bedrooms; 3 bedrooms accessed from the main castle and 3 more via steps built against its outside walls. All bedrooms offer wonderful views of the beach and the Indian Ocean. There is a shared kitchen and lounge in the castle available to all guests. The main entrance opens into a large lounge / TV relaxing area with an open fire. There are no direct “neighbors”, and the castle is very private and not looked over. The views to the front are the beach and waves crashing against the rocky outcrops. There are various stone steps leading down from the castle and gardens directly onto the beach – which is pebbled directly below the castle rapidly becoming golden sand. There is an outside braai area to the West on the seaside and a sheltered eating area complete with tables and benches. The castle sits within the Noetzie Conservancy - established in 1999. What makes Noetzie so special? The castles of course – but mostly "the golden beach surrounded by forested hills, the dark waters of the lagoon, the rugged, ochre rocks and the thundering breakers that roll in row upon row". Guest access Guests will have access to the kitchen, dining room, and living area. You will have access to the beautiful beach for the early beach walks and sunsets. Other things to note The property is powered by solar panels, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source. This system ensures that essential utilities such as lighting, water heating, and basic appliances are reliably powered while minimizing the castle’s impact on the natural surroundings. A 4x4 vehicle is required to reach the parking area. There are 105 steps from the parking area to the castle, making Lindsay Castle unsuitable for elderly guests or those with mobility impairments. Freelance chef services are available on request (subject to availability) and can be arranged prior to arrival. Please note that there are no on-site shops or restaurants; all necessary supplies can be purchased in Knysna, just 13 minutes away.
