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.SveniqueUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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!AndrewUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.VeenaSouth Africa

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 7 reviews"Nyanza" means water and the property is both in view of and walking distance to the beautiful Knysna Lagoon. You can walk safely on a paved pathway in either direction to attractions such as Leisure Isle or Thesen Island. Love and care has gone into making guests feel welcome - the beds in the main bedroom were particularly comfortable. The shower had rejuvenating high pressure and abundant hot water - such a luxury. Small but perfectly formed, the little personal touches all made for a restful stay. We will be back.
LisaSouth Africa - From $96.74 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,144 reviewsWe arrived at the Premier hotel Knysna shortly before lunch and we were greeted by super friendly and helpful staff. We were too early for check in, but we relaxed at the pool with drinks, entertainment (bingo!) and an awesome pool-side lunch. We immediately felt like we were finally on holiday. The room was massive, the food was amazing and the staff were incredibly attentive. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone searching for comfort, style and friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing and fresh.UUdineSouth Africa

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.
