    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.

    Pleasing location in the delightful Belvidere Estate. Quiet, with very little traffic or pollution. Close to the Bell Tavern, Belvidere Manor Hotel, the jetty on the Knysna lagoon and opportunities to wander around Belvidere with it's parkland areas and rich bird life. The unit was comfortable, spacious, well equipped and even stocked with consumables. Our host was very accommodating and even provided bird feeders outside the balcony which were restocked every day.

    Prospect Cottage is a nice appartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The balcony has a beautiful look over Knysna, the lagoon and the Heads. We have enjoyed our stay as a family, because the cottage is spacious and very quiet at the end of a dead end street. Only the noise of the main road was audible, sitting on the balcony. The stay was too short to visit all the remarkeble places of Knysna and the Garden Route, but we certainly want to come back.

    Interesting and quirky hotel in Knysna. The room was spacious and also had features from the original use of the building and the communal spaces were great. Breakfast was very tasty (many members of the public also come in to eat there which is a good sign!) and the portions were huge. Perfectly located for restaurants and boat trips by the lagoon.

    The room had everything you need for self catering. The place was situated just across from the Knysna mall. The waterfront and many restaurants were near the Inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed and bathroom were very pleasant. Your car is safe in the parking area. I would definitely go there again.

    This property is first class in all respects. It is spacious, very well-appointed & extremely well-equipped. The beds are excellent. The location is tranquil and secure, yet only a stroll of five minutes from the shops and restaurants on the Knysna Quays Waterfront. The house also has its own integral garage.

    Great little apartment in Knysna centre. Good location to walk to all shops and waterfront. Clean and cosy apartment. Kim was a good host and provided clear instructions on how to access car park and apartment. I left a shirt in the wardrobe, but Kim arranged to get it back to me (thank you again)

    Hosts Dianne and Rob was very welcoming and made sure that my stay was excellent, they had also send pin locations for activities in and around Knysna to makes sure I do not miss anything. My next holiday will definitely be with them again. Looking forward to my next next stay there.

    Very close to Knysna East Head. Nice balcony, unfortunately did not overlook the heads but did overlook beautiful properties on the hillside. Loadshedding impacts were well managed. Graham the host was very helpful in getting me help for a small emergency. Thank you Graham

    Situated right on the waterfront, next to the Knysna waterfront, it has every amenity you will need while on holiday. It is truly a magnificent home. The best part is that the home has an inverter, so we not inconvenienced by loadshedding.
