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!

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 22 reviewsThis was our first time staying at the Knysna Inn (we got upgraded) and it was the best hotel experience I have ever had. The waterfront is walking distance. We explored quite a bit on foot. Martin the manager was exceptional with his knowledge of the area, giving references of nice places to see to make more memories and he always had time and showed us interesting things by the hotel eg. Animals carved in certain places in the woodwork. We will definitely stay there again when in Knysna. The breakfast was also fantastic!!!!!LiezlSouth Africa
- 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.
JamesUnited States - 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 - 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 166 reviewsFor a budget B&B, it offers better rooms than some of the upmarket Hotel rooms. It is very clean and fantastic for weekends or stayovers. It has no sea or lagoon views do not claim that in any case. I came in at 6 pm and left at 6 am and therefore was not interested in a view. Very comfortable, super host, clean, and very central. About 5KM from the entertainment area and waterfront. Wheelchair Friendly. Wonderful outside braai/barbeque WeberJohnSouth Africa
- From £90.65 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 1,493 reviewsI travelled to Knysna for the Oakhill water polo festival. (my daughter was playing) It was literally a 1 min walk from the hotel to the waterfront, so close enough to pop back to the hotel in between games to relax in the comfort of the room. The room is very clean and modern. this is my 3rd visit to the Rex in 6 weeks. This is the only place I will stay in Knynsa. Bonus is that there are lovely boutique shops on the same block
BronwynSouth Africa - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 31 reviewsSituated in a private nature reserve like a large eco estate, very secure area with beautiful forested hills all around you. Although its a little out of town the road is in a perfect condition and can be driven even easily by night. The unit itself is very modern and clean, comfortable and you have a beautiful view over the valley in the foreground and hills, knysna lagoon and ocean in the not-so-distant background. Highly recommended!
