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.

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!
The 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.
Beacon House is out of this world. It is a gem!!! 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!
Stunning 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.
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!
We loved our stay at this beautiful guesthouse. The owner couple were lovely and the rooms and facilities beautiful with an amazing view over the lagoon! The breakfast was delicious and the service excellent! We would love to come back and can highly recommend this guesthouse! The location was also great with only a few minutes walking distance to the Waterfront area. Helene & Dan from Sweden
Spacious house, fully equiped kitchen, confortable beds.
The view from the deck is stunning!
Lots of birds (spotted some Knysna Loeries) flying around the garden.
A short drive to the north to the Knysna forest hikes, and to the south to Knysna lagoon.
Great communication with Caron, the owner. The made sure we had everything we needed (f.e. during a loadshedding we didn't know about).
Neat and clean. Beds are comfortable. Room has a kettle and fridge and has TV with Open View channels. Outside is a pool for the hot days. Parking is off street and safe. Host very friendly and they also serve breakfast. Safe area and close to a Spar for those that need something. Waterfront and Knysna heads within 5 min of the establishment. Very pleasant stay
Location - situated right next to the knysna heads view point, you can enjoy breakfast while soaking up amazing views of the west head, thesan island and the lagoon.
Upgrade - the host was extremely kind and upgraded my booking to the suite.
Restaurant- Really good breakfast served daily - they cater for vegetarians as well.
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)
Very clean and spacious. Cindy was very welcoming too and prompt to answer all our queries. So many beds to choose from and having access to 3 bathrooms in the house was good for 2 families. It’s just a 5 min drive to the waterfront, the heads and knysna gin/ maillard baking co. The braai was huge and good.
Comfortable and spacious rooms.
Friendly host, he made us feel welcome and gave recommendations for food specials in the area.
Good location for a first visit to Knysna, situated between the Knysna Heads and the waterfront.
Would recommend Blended Country Restaurant for nearby dining.
The location is fantastic! Views of Knysna lagoon and Heads. Staff friendly and cheerful, Cynthia and Babes. Breakfast was so good! Mike the manager is great and we really had a super stay for 4 days and will be back! Had the best sleep on comfy beds and cant complain! 10 out of 10!!!
The view of Knysna heads and the lagoon was exceptional. The room was large, airy, clean and beautifully decorated. We had a huge bathroom and the hospitality was fantastic, delicious breakfasts - best stay in Africa in 6 weeks.
The hotel is situated in a great central location in Knysna, only a couple of minutes walk from the waterfront. The room was modern, clean and great value for money. The reception staff were very welcoming and accommodating.
The location and views are stunning. The unit we had was very well equipped for self catering. Knysna is 20 minutes away so easy to pop out to a restaurant should you wish to.
