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 $82.90 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 10 reviewsStunning western view of the Knysna lagoon from the bedroom. Short walk to a view of the Knysna heads. The host, Aneryne, was wonderfully hospitable. She greeted us at the door, gave us loads of great walking and restaurant recommendations. She attentive, proactive and warm. The home was beautifully decorated. We especially enjoyed the local coffee table books. The space was easy going, comfortable and freeing. We felt completely at ease allowing our well trained dog to roam the area. 11/10.Jonathan DuttonSouth Africa
- 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

Beautiful gardens. Putt putt, games room, pools, jacuzzi all on site, no need to go anywhere for something to do. Especially enjoyed the long walks alongside the lagoon, spectacular views. Accommodation was clean, neat and tidy. Serviced daily which wasn't expected. Staff are very pleasant.SharmaineSouth Africa

The room was spacious and also had features from the original use of the building and the communal spaces were great. Breakfast was very tasty (many members of the public also come in to eat there which is a good sign!) and the portions were huge. Perfectly located for restaurants and boat trips by the lagoon.AnnabelSwitzerland
