Knysna

Knysna has long been the pearl at the heart of South Africa’s oyster, the Garden Route. Almost midway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, it’s an easy stop-over for travellers along the pristine coastline. And a beautiful, easy hour’s drive from the nearest airport in George makes it an ideal destination for holiday makers and honeymooners.

Located in the Garden Route National Park Lakes District, Knysna and its surroundings boasts with stretches of sandy beaches, lakes, rivers and estuaries to explore, the mysterious, indigenous Knysna forest to discover and acres of Cape fynbos to play in. Enjoy just about any activity you can think of in our natural playground, do some shopping at world-class shops and markets, and satisfy your taste buds at any of our renowned restaurants or coffee shops.

We are happy to help you with information on the many amazing offerings available in and around town. We can also assist you in making the necessary bookings and arrangements, but please note that a 15% handling fee will be calculated on any bookings made through our office and added to your final invoice.
