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.VeenaSouth Africa

- From £68.68 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 873 reviewsThe 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!AnneliSweden
