Garden Route
The heart of the Garden Route, Knysna nestles on the banks of a beautiful estuary and is surrounded by a natural paradise of indigenous forests, the Outeniqua mountains and a rugged coastline. Beaches, lakes, mountains and rivers offer visitors an unforgettable holiday — for everyone from the adventurous to those who prefer to relax in the sun, stroll through cool forests or take scenic day drives. Winning the ‘South Africa’s Favourite Town’ title twice in a row is testimony to its unique brand of friendliness. To many South Africans, Knysna is synonymous with oysters, and no visit to the town would be complete without a plateful of these succulent fruits of the sea - washed down with a locally brewed beer.
Whether you’re a young back-packer travelling on a budget, or a high powered executive looking for a luxurious getaway, Knysna offers the largest variety of accommodation establishments and eating-places on the Garden Route. Enjoy your stay in Knysna — the place of people, beauty and mystery.
