Limited exchange activity. Interval flags this resort as one where few weeks are deposited, so an exchange into it is hard to obtain and may not be available at all — regardless of how well it rates below.
About
Simola Golf & Country Estate is located high in the hills above the Garden Route town of Knysna, one of South Africa's favorite vacation destinations. From its vantage point, the 803-acre (325 hectares) estate looks out on a spectacular panorama encompassing the full expanse of the Knysna Lagoon, all the way to the Knysna Heads and beyond to the sea. The resort's golf fairways merge seamlessly with lush vegetation and forest, creating a vista of undulating green hills and dales that slope gently down to the Knysna River
What the units actually give you
