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.MarcusUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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!AndrewUnited Kingdom

- From $83.48 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
- From $163.14 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 685 reviewsThe sea facing Coral Suite was large with great views of the ocean & The Knysna Heads. Very comfortable big bed. Dinner next to the fireplace was really good. Breakfast was good with a small but good selection of buffet items & a great variety of cooked items to order- the views from the restaurant are amazing. Having bicycles out the front of the hotel that guests can use is a really great touch - the ride around the island is flat & easy to do I would definitely recommend doing it.
PhilippaSouth Africa - From $114.58 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 63 reviewsThe location was perfect. Right on the waterfront and within walking distance to the restaurants and the boat rides. Very easy to go into the town and to the tourist spots in Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. The apartment is self catering and there is a garage shop opposite the complex to get the necessities. Beautiful views and tastefully furnished that we did not miss anything from our own home and the apartment is fully equipped with even enough towels and firewood for the cold nights.SureshineeSouth Africa
- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 31 reviewsSituated in a private nature reserve like a large eco estate, very secure area with beautiful forested hills all around you. Although its a little out of town the road is in a perfect condition and can be driven even easily by night. The unit itself is very modern and clean, comfortable and you have a beautiful view over the valley in the foreground and hills, knysna lagoon and ocean in the not-so-distant background. Highly recommended!
ThomasSouth Africa - 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 262 reviewsDe View is located beautifully above Knysna with a stunning view of the Knysna Lagoon. Still it takes only about 15 minutes to the city and the Knysna Waterfront. Additionally, Dom and Hans are perfect hosts, friendly, helpful, making you instantly feel welcome. And I cannot remember that I have ever been served such a great breakfast. Clear recommendation to book at de View if you are in Knysna.
