- From US$106.33 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.3Superb - What previous guests thought, 298 reviewsA feeling that can only be described as Christmas morning as a child but within the trees at 40yrs of age😉 Loved every minute of our stay, so much that we stayed an extra night! The hospitality and staff were exceptional. I can not recommend this place enough. We will most definitely be returning next year.

- From US$136.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 901 reviewsThe best place to stay in Knysna? Beautifully located rustic cabins next to a small private beach where you can swim safely, or play with the kayaks and paddle boards provided. Lots of greenery gives shade and a pleasant jungle-like feel. Self catering with excellently equipped kitchen (first time of finding a fondue set in a rental cabin...) Good atmosphere; all other guests we talked to loved the place, too. We recommend this place to couples, families, everyone!Guest review byAnneliSweden

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.Guest review byOlivier-Kahlau - 10

We actuallly went up to visit a School friend, but got to drive around a bit and found Plett a lovely pretty place with lots of restaurants and craft markets. We also loved the Roadside Cafe as we had our Pet with us and it was perfect. Wished we had more time to explore.Guest review byAnonymous - 8.0
Great place for a week end especially in summer.
Great place for a week end especially in summer. Adequate shops, coffee shops etc. Nice fish n chips, restaurants and lots of lovely places nearby like Wilderness Knysna etc. Lovely drives up the hills. Views beautiful, riding bikes fine. Walks to Gerickes point.Guest review byMalcolmSouth Africa - 10
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.Guest review byBernhardSouth Africa - 10
Natures Valley is very special.
Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.Guest review byBruceNew Zealand - 8.0

Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.Guest review byPeterSouth Africa - 10

Buffelsbaai is a unpolished gem and the ocean and surroundings brings a special kind of calm to your soul that is not easy to put pen to paper about! it is beyond your imagination! We wandered around and did the Buffels Bay Hiking Trail and had something to drink at the Beach Restaurant and the people attending to our needs went out of their way to be so very kind and attentive. Buffels Bay is very easy to get around to and everything is SO neat and well kept!!Guest review byHendrienSouth Africa - 10
Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.
Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.Guest review byAndrewSouth Africa - 10
