Buffet breakfast was good, but amount of food on the buffet was allowed to run out. No one seemed to be checking and we had to ask for more sausages and bacon to be laid out. By the time they arrived, I had finished eating. Small thing, but important, to me at least.

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.

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!

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 6 reviewsThe 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.

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.
