What Guests Said About Knysna:

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.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.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 - 10Scored 10

- From $75.10 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 399 reviewsRudi and Diwan and their fur babies were great hosts and made us feel at home. Location is central to everything shos, restaurants and Waterfront. Knysna elephant park is not far abiut 30 mins drive. Room and property was comfortable, clean and cosy. Loved sitting in the garden and listening to the birds. Loved that the dogs were so comfortable with visitors and kept us company, but were never a nuisance. If you not a dog lover, don't worry they are only around if the owners walk about. Parking available on the property.
Vanisha HarrySouth Africa - From $120.29 per night9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 429 reviewsWe had a lovely room with a balcony which overlooked the lagoon and Knysna Head, the view was stunning. The hosts were very attentive and informative and even invited us to a small concert with food and drinks included. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and the chef managed to cook my scrambled egg to perfection, which is quite an achievement, we have stayed at many establishments over the course of our holiday, mostly five star, but only Candlewood and on other got the eggs right.
CatherineUnited Kingdom - From $167.30 per night9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 248 reviewsWe loved our stay at One on Bollard! The house is gorgeous, the rooms are immaculate and well appointed, and the best parts are hosts Diane and Rob. They couldn't be more welcoming and helpful - they provided some wonderful suggestions for restaurants, and even offered to make reservations for us. The breakfast was gorgeous and delicious, and almost everything is homemade - even the yogurt! We could easily have spent a week here, and will be back next time we're in Knysna!MichelleUnited States of America

Convenient quiet location just outside Knysna centre near to leisure island and heads. Marius is a great friendly host with loads of local info, really handy pointing out things to do in the area. Rooms had everything needed for a short stay. Had power back up for outage periods so no inconvenience. Towels were nicely scented I remember. I'll be back for another visit sometime hopefully
jonathanUnited Kingdom - 8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 443 reviewsThis was a splendidly spacious apartment on two floors with glorious views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. The gas hob and oven worked well and were proof against load-shedding. The bed and the lounge seating were very comfortable. The swimming pool was close by and very refreshing. I would recommend this property for an extended stay. The bathroom and the shower room both worked well. The staff were great!

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.
