    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.

    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!

    Fantastic location close to town with wonderful views right across Knysna to the Heads. 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.

    The studio is beautiful, well decorated and very comfortable. Everything was impeccable, super clean and the view is amazing! Di could not have been nicer welcoming us to the property, and gave s all the instructions we needed to enjoy our stay. The location is gorgeous and we really enjoyed a canoe ride early in the morning through the canals. Great location in Knysna, cannot recommend enough!

    We loved our stay at this beautiful guesthouse. The owner couple were lovely and the rooms and facilities beautiful with an amazing view over the lagoon! The breakfast was delicious and the service excellent! We would love to come back and can highly recommend this guesthouse! The location was also great with only a few minutes walking distance to the Waterfront area. Helene & Dan from Sweden

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay, hosts were really friendly and catered to our every need. We ran the forest marathon , upon retuning back after 12h00 we were spoilt with full breakfast. The tranquil scenery overlooking the lake & beautiful landscaped gardens is any city slickers dream getaway. Waterfront Lodge a must for your next stop in Knysna !

    This property is first class in all respects. It is spacious, very well-appointed & extremely well-equipped. The beds are excellent. The location is tranquil and secure, yet only a stroll of five minutes from the shops and restaurants on the Knysna Quays Waterfront. The house also has its own integral garage.

    The St. James is a unique and extraordinary hotel in a nice location. The really good breakfast was freshly prepared and served. No dinner option at the moment. But plenty of restaurants around. Very spacious and nicely equipped rooms. Recommend to drive around the lagoon and visit Brenton-on-Sea!

    Balcony suites overlooking the stunning lagoon. Friendly staff. On time service. Nice walking distance to a variety of restaurants on the Island. Hotel has its own turbine water club that offers sailing across the lagoon and better rates when compared to the waterfront and other charters.
