Dubai developers in Knysna?

The Brenton-on-Sea Hotel in Knysna was gutted by fire in 2004. Now Dubai developers and local hoteliers are expected at Wednesday‘s auction of the land on which it stood. The fire started in the restaurant‘s kitchen and gutted the hotel‘s mostly-wooden structure ­ Pappasitos restaurant, reception area, conference centre, five chalets and 42 rooms. The liquidation auction at Pezula Resort is expected to fetch more than R18-million. The site overlooks the ocean and Buffalo Bay.
