This review is based on a stay at Brenton Beach Haven Resort at Brenton on Sea just outside of Knysna. Knysna itself is busy and has loads of shops , bars and restaurants. Nice for a night or so. Brenton Haven is a beach resort. The beach there is fabulous. If you're lucky,,and we were, you may see dolphins in the surf!
A boat trip in the lagoon of Knysna to have a sundowner is almost a must. The town itself is not worth seeing. Only the area around the waterfront and the bars and restaurants on Thesen Island are great.
We had our own vehicle so it was really easy to locate all the tourist spots, be it the heads, Waterfront, Elephant Park and beaches , to name a few. There are literally 100’s of places to eat so you are spoilt for choice whether it be at the Waterfront, in the town itself or along the roads leading to various attractions.
A very interesting and diverse South African town. Totally different than other parts of SA visited! Had dinner at The Olive Tree - great menu. The weather was wet, misty, and cold which limited outdoors activities. Lots of traffic in the main part of town!
We had only 4 days, could easily have stayed many more. This is because we really liked in all aspects from the view over the bay to the spacious and well equipped apartment of 'Paradise Found'. And it is for the many possibilities to pass your days and evenings from trail walking in the forest, to visiting the beach of Brenton, travelling the Prince Alfred pass etc....
A small town to relax and enjoy your peace. If nature is close to your heart, then it is definitely a place to visit. Easy to go about. One thing important, don't go there alone as it won't be fun at all
“Nice self catering and wonderful lake view ”
“Incredibly comfortable, clean, and quiet place with a beautiful view. Sits on top of a hill overlooking Knysna. Quick drive to all the main spots. Thanks for a great stay! ”
“Laguna Grove is the perfect place for a family vacation. It has a 24 hour store opposite to it. Great restaurants nearby. Close to both Knysna heads and Brenton beach. Great place to jog. We stayed in a 3 bkk on ground floor. Loved the master bedroom and the living room. Getting in was bit tricky but we managed it somehow.”
