Buffet breakfast was good, but amount of food on the buffet was allowed to run out. No one seemed to be checking and we had to ask for more sausages and bacon to be laid out. By the time they arrived, I had finished eating. Small thing, but important, to me at least.

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!

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 6 reviewsThe Blu Belle cottage is a real gem - perfect amount of space for a family of four, impeccably cared for, and very well thought out use of a cozy cottage. We very much enjoyed our stay in this cottage overlooking the Knysna River lagoon. So much that we ended up spending a lot more time than planned relaxing on the estate and taking advantage of its peaceful grounds and amenities, including the pool, pub, and nearby restaurants. It's also a quick drive to Buffalo Bay, Plettenberg Bay, and numerous other points of interest.JamesUnited States

Located in the eastern head, in close proximity to popular restaurants, lagoon beach, and heads' view points. The apartment we stayed in was exquisite, from its well appointed bedrooms, to comfy seating areas, and to wrap around expansive balcony overlooking the ocean and the lagoon . Ohh the staff is amazing. Always available to help. Prompt, proactive and on point! We have made ourselves a promise to come back to this place again and again when we visit Knysna!
SimphiweSouth Africa - From € 76.57 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 10 reviewsStunning western view of the Knysna lagoon from the bedroom. Short walk to a view of the Knysna heads. The host, Aneryne, was wonderfully hospitable. She greeted us at the door, gave us loads of great walking and restaurant recommendations. She attentive, proactive and warm. The home was beautifully decorated. We especially enjoyed the local coffee table books. The space was easy going, comfortable and freeing. We felt completely at ease allowing our well trained dog to roam the area. 11/10.Jonathan DuttonSouth Africa

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...)
