    One town that’s full of adventure around every corner from the heads to the old drift to Brenton on sea to buffalo bay to jubilee creek to the forest to lands end. Just too many wonderful experiences to be had in a vibrant and friendly town! Honestly, the best place.

    If you are planning a trip along the garden route then Knysna is a must visit spot. The views across the lagoon and the Knysna Heads are amazing and so many options for accommodation from camping by the lagoon to 5* hotels. It is also a good base to explore the Eastern end on the garden route right up to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). There is also a number of fantastic mountain passes to drive up to the Karoo, but make sure you have a good vehicle and a good head for heights. Knysna is fantastic and well worth a visit.

    As a place to stay, Knysna is rather small, and moreover less secure after dark than other places. Knysna and its islands/view points can e.g. easily be visited from Plettenberg where there is much more choice in terms of restaurants. 1 day is more than enough for Knysna.

    The views are magnificent.

    The views are magnificent. The surrounding areas are also very worthy of visits. Plettenburg Bay, Tsitsikamma, Sedgefield and Wilderness are excellent. Something great to do every day! Knysna itself is a little run down and touristy, after all it straddles a motorway (N2), but there are places that are tucked away which are charming.....one goes there however for the views!

    Knysna is a quaint town surrounded by lush forests and a stunning lagoon. The iconic Knysna Heads are simply mesmerizing. The clothing shops are a bit pricey and one has to ensure you have enough spending money to have a good time. We enjoyed our meals at Thirty-Four South. Knysna is definitely a tourist destination.

    We loved our stay at One on Bollard! The house is gorgeous, the rooms are immaculate and well appointed, and the best parts are hosts Diane and Rob. They couldn't be more welcoming and helpful - they provided some wonderful suggestions for restaurants, and even offered to make reservations for us. The breakfast was gorgeous and delicious, and almost everything is homemade - even the yogurt! We could easily have spent a week here, and will be back next time we're in Knysna!

    Paradise Found was a wonderful place to stay. This place has one of the best views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. Every room has a patio where you can sit and enjoy the view. Johan and Dirkie were fantastic hosts and very personable. The breakfasts were delicious with homemade goods included ! We felt very safe at this location and in spite of load shedding we had power and hot water to shower. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a B&B in Knysna to stay here .

    The best place to stay in Knysna? Beautifully located rustic cabins next to a small private beach where you can swim safely, or play with the kayaks and paddle boards provided. Lots of greenery gives shade and a pleasant jungle-like feel. Self catering with excellently equipped kitchen (first time of finding a fondue set in a rental cabin...) Good atmosphere; all other guests we talked to loved the place, too. We recommend this place to couples, families, everyone!

    The accommodation was great with excellent staff on site. The rooms were large and very clean. Spacious bathroom and it had everything you would need, including a shower cap. Breakfast was a lovely spread and you have the option of doing a full breakfast or hot or cold and the charge works accordingly which is really nice. There are lovely restaurants very nearby and the property is walking distance from the waterfront. Generally a wonderful hotel experience.

    The host Kim was pleasant, responsive and helpful. The location of the apartment is ideally located in Knysna, in walking distance to amenities like the Knysna Mall, the Waterfront and restaurants downstairs. It's also in close proximity to other tourist destinations like Thesan Island, Leisure Isle, Knysna Heads and Brenton on Sea.

    A luxurious and peaceful place for relaxation in 15 minutes drive from Knysna Waterfront. Rooms are really spacious, you also have a balcony or a private garden with a private hot tub. Yes, your own hot tub in your garden!:) Since it is the golf club’s hotel, you can walk around beautiful golf courses (if you’re not a player)

    The view over the Knysna lagoon towards the heads is spectacular from the large porch. The house is elegant, tidy, and well-equipped with plenty of seating areas. The host supplied ample wood that came in very handy. The beds were comfortable.
