A friendly place.

A friendly place. Waterfront area and a lagoon boat trip are a must-do. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Dry Dock restaurant highly recommended. Easy to get around the area although parking in central area a bit problematical. A visit to 'The Heads' viewpoints which is nearby. Drive the 7-passes road for scenery and driving experience. Visit the transport museum in nearby George (it's free!). Margaret's viewpoint on Brenton-on-sea road is nearby and not to be missed.

Everything was nearby, but you need to be there to experiences the wonder of Knysna. It is a must to go visit the Love Gifts store. The Portuguese restaurant food was delicious, but you have to try all the food places there as everything is divine.

I haven't visited Knysna in a long time and sadly I have to say that, in the last few years the city has gone to the dogs, it is 3rd world at best. Restaurants, tourist areas and the natural beauty is still awesome, but the city center is dirty, run down and unsafe to walk around in, especially after dark.

The view out of our Tower room was great. to the left right and centre we had views of the lagoon and all the activity going on. Just watching the tide go in and out with the fishing, boats and children playing was perfect. Lovely spacious room, very comfortable and luxurious. Lovely restaurant where we had some of the best meals of the holiday. We used the hotels bikes to explore the area and could have used their canoes if we had had time.

A fantastic apartment set out on the Knysna Heads. You need a car to access the place and it’s in a beautiful setting surrounded by luxury mansions. Great sun deck for watching the sunset, very clean and with all facilities needed. The host gave great directions and lots of suggestions for places to eat if you didn’t want to eat at the apartment. Very recommended.

Check-in process was simple and easy. The place is extremely beautiful and huge. The views were exceptional and the finishings inside house were modern, clean and beautiful. The estate is close by to the Pezula hotel, the Knysna heads, Knysna waterfront, Thesen Islands, and to grocery outlets, giving you many options on things to do on your stay
