    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.

    Fantastic location close to town with wonderful views right across Knysna to the Heads. The host has excellent attention to detail and provided us with all the info we could need, incl local restaurant specials and suggestions. The property is extremely well set up for load shedding and the wood-fired hot tub is kept warm throughout the day by the staff. The main house is massive and well furnished, with all the comforts one could require, and it's quiet at night in spite of being so close to town.

    We had a lovely room with a balcony which overlooked the lagoon and Knysna Head, the view was stunning. The hosts were very attentive and informative and even invited us to a small concert with food and drinks included. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and the chef managed to cook my scrambled egg to perfection, which is quite an achievement, we have stayed at many establishments over the course of our holiday, mostly five star, but only Candlewood and on other got the eggs right.

    Good sized homely room with large bathroom and balcony. Convenient quiet location just outside Knysna centre near to leisure island and heads. Marius is a great friendly host with loads of local info, really handy pointing out things to do in the area. Rooms had everything needed for a short stay. Had power back up for outage periods so no inconvenience. Towels were nicely scented I remember. I'll be back for another visit sometime hopefully

    The apartment was very comfortable and clean with a spectacular view of Knysna. The location of the apartment is also very conveniently situated, close to the city centre. If you up for a brisk walk, then the Knysna Waterfront is also within a 20-minute walking distance from the apartment. Parking was also behind secure gates. The host was also very friendly and helpful and shared all major attractions and ideas to spend the day with us.

    This home perched high above the Kysna lagoon was extraordinary. Our rom was immense, the bed so comfortable and the views exceptional. The lovely infinity pool and gardens were luxurious and inspiring. We enjoyed walking own to Thessen Island, walking on the beach and would have loved to do the forest hikes if we had been there longer. Breakfast was lovely.

    Waking up to the view of the Knysna Lagoon was amazing. The place is in a central location of all shopping centers and activities to do in and around Knysna. The place also had an inverter in case we had load shedding, which was an unexpected bonus. Laguna rental is secure as well. All in all, the place is very well equipped for holiday goers.

    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)
