2014 was the year that the Hanssons became the new owners of Head over Hills. How they ended up with this amazing place is a story in and of itself. They are happy to share the tale with you when you come for a visit. The Hanssons love to exchange life stories, which is why guests can experience so much more than just a night away when they stay at Head over Hills.
Simola Hillclimb
Head over Hills has been a proud sponsor of the Simola Hillclimb for two consecutive years, a fantastic race in Knysna. In 2016 Head over Hills sponsored the Thouca Mechanicos team.
Expedition Africa
Adventure Racing at its best! In May 2016, teams of 4 from all around the world travelled to the Garden route in the Western Cape in South Africa. Their activities included kayaking, mountain biking, trecking, canyoning and complete rope work sections in this epic adventure. Teams took anywhere from 3 days to 7 days to complete this event, traveling day and night pushing themselves to the edge of human endurance. Sedgefield and Knysna, two of the host towns in the Garden Route, was the ideal location for this once in a lifetime adventure. The unparalleled nature of this area, and conservation areas managed by Sanparks were the ultimate playground for these adventurers.
Tournaments
Biking, hiking and trail running is a great way to explore the area. Keen cyclists looking for a challenge will enjoy exploring the hills surrounding our boutique hotel. For a more casual experience, bike towards Knysna for magnificent views of the Heads, ocean and lagoon along the way. Our forests feature various beautiful mountain biking routes as well.
Head over Hills is a proud corporate member at the world-renowned Pezula Championship Golf Course. We offer our guests golfing specials when staying at least 2 nights with us.
