Set in the heart of the Garden Route, Knysna is a beautiful coastal town where indigenous forests, tranquil waterways and golden beaches come together. At its centre is the Knysna Lagoon, opening into the Indian Ocean between the iconic sandstone cliffs of the Knysna Heads. Spend your days exploring the lagoon by boat, enjoying a sunset cruise, discovering the local oyster scene or taking in the spectacular views from the Heads.

Nature lovers can venture into the surrounding Knysna Forest, with its towering yellowwood trees, scenic walking and cycling trails and rich birdlife, including the colourful Knysna Turaco. The coastline offers plenty of reasons to explore, from the sandy shores of Brenton-on-Sea and Buffalo Bay to the secluded coves of Noetzie. For a closer look at the region's natural beauty, visit Featherbed Nature Reserve or Goukamma Nature Reserve, where coastal forest, fynbos and diverse wildlife make for memorable outings.
