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.
guidoBelgium - 8.0Scored 8.0
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

- 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 CNY 1,186.90 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 683 reviewsThe Amanzi Boutique Hotel is superbly located on leisure island looking across the lagoon toward Knysna Heads. Our room had an amazing balcony where we could relax, sunbathe and enjoy that view. The staff (and there seemed to be quite a few of them) all went out of their way to ensure that every request we made was attended to and we wanted for nothing. Advice on restaurants etc was very good; the restaurant shuttle ride (200 Rand, return) was very comfortable and prompt.

They upgraded our room on arrival :) Loveliest friendliest staff. The hotel itself was a joy - historical building with each room having a unique theme making reference to the old power plant. Despite this, the hotel is quirky and modern, with lovely facilities. Location 10/10 - on thesen island which is where you want to be in knysna. Our room was gorgeous and overlooked the lagoon.MahdiyyahSouth Africa

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!
