A very chilled place - just very serene place to go.
A very chilled place - just very serene place to go. It can be a little expensive for the type of food offered in several restaurants - price doesn't really match portion of menu. The people are friendly, there's a few activities to do if you're adventurous. It's a great place to stop-over for a couple of nights and then continue with your journey. The Waterfront is very lovely. I suggest you there. The Mall is also great for shopping - don't get lost though because there's about 4 mall/square areas.Reshoketswe HopeSouth Africa - 10Scored 10

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.
guidoBelgium - 8.0Scored 8.0
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!

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 56 reviewsPleasing 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.
WilliamSwitzerland - 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 32 reviewsProspect 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.
