    Knysna is great for outdoor active adrenaline junkies or just get lost in the bush. Excellent trails and never short of a view or great place to eat. People are friendly and towns are small, Very clean and sometimes feels like you not in SA. Definitely a must see place, We visited Victoria Bay, The Heads viewpoint, SPieskop reserve seeing the groot boom and drove all the way into the mountains. Tsitsikamma was far the best .

    The highlight of Knysna is that it encompass a variety of activities and adventures. Majority of the resturants we visited provided very good service and amazing seafood 🦐 Myself and my partner particularly enjoyed the boat ride on a 40 ft Catameran from Ocean Sailing Charters ⛵️, which came after a wild Ziplining experience. The Knysna Heads should definitely be visited for the scenic mountain and ocean views 🏞. A wonderful walk on the wild side feeding elephants, was another major highlight 🐘 ❤️ The icing on the cake was a young detour in Plettenberg Bay for a romantic date on the beach 💙🌊🥂 I would definitely recommend this dose of peace, serenity and absolute bliss 🌍

    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.

    This is not the place if you're expecting hotel standards and convenience. BUT if you want to experience the Knysna forest in a raw and beautiful way, this is definitely the place to be. Amazing walks and places to explore, places to swim and even a warm clay bath under the stars! The TP's are basic, but everything you need. Wood is delivered when needed at a very reasonable price and the staff was extremely helpful and always available. We will definitely be back again, 3 days wasn't enough to experience everything!

    Paradise Found was a wonderful place to stay. This place has one of the best views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. Every room has a patio where you can sit and enjoy the view. Johan and Dirkie were fantastic hosts and very personable. The breakfasts were delicious with homemade goods included ! We felt very safe at this location and in spite of load shedding we had power and hot water to shower. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a B&B in Knysna to stay here .

    I travelled to Knysna for the Oakhill water polo festival. (my daughter was playing) It was literally a 1 min walk from the hotel to the waterfront, so close enough to pop back to the hotel in between games to relax in the comfort of the room. The room is very clean and modern. this is my 3rd visit to the Rex in 6 weeks. This is the only place I will stay in Knynsa. Bonus is that there are lovely boutique shops on the same block

    Our stay at Waterfront Lodge B&B in Knysna was exceptional. Marion and Gavin were wonderful hosts, offering a warm welcome. The room was beautifully decorated with stunning lagoon views. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect for exploring Knysna. 2min car drive away Their hospitality made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

    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.

    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)
