The popular and scenic Garden Route stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River in the western part of the neighbouring Eastern Cape. The name comes from the verdant and ecologically diverse vegetation encountered here and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the coast. It includes towns such as Mossel Bay, George, Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay and Nature’s Valley.
Situated in the heart of the Garden Route, Knysna is the perfect town to stay while exploring the surrounding areas.
The Knysna Lagoon is a perfect spot where families will love playing in the shallow waters while enjoying the view of the Knysna Heads. At the beautiful Leisure Isle, you can experience a fun day at the beach; go canoeing, kayaking, hire a speed boat or go fishing.
The Knysna Heads offers a paved pathway to the viewpoint, which is situated on the Eastern Head. Remnants of the Paquita still lie at the entrance to the Heads. Scuba diving at the Heads is a popular pastime and a great way to view the Paquita.
Featherbed Nature Reserve on the western side, is accessible by ferry which one is able to take from the Knysna Waterfront.
Activities for nature enthusiasts abound. Try to spot the illusive Knysna Loerie (you will hear its call long before you see it), trace the prints of an elephant in the Knysna Forest and delight in local flora such as coastal Fynbos and the Milkwood Tree.
The town of Knysna itself is a hub of craft shops and trendy cafes. Walk up Knysna’s Main Road, past Woodmill Lane (the historical site of Knysna’s Sawmill and Timber Factory), down towards the Waterfront and onto Thesen Island.
Both the Waterfront and Thesen Island will have you overwhelmed for choice of bars and restaurants.
