KNYSNA

Place of Beauty

The Forest, the estuary, lakes, stunning beaches, flora and fauna - small wonder that this is a favourite place for artists.

The famous Heads, the Waterfront.  Houseboats, ferries, luxury lagoon cruises and crossings, a real paddle cruiser.

Romantic nights, fisherman's haven, whale spotting, birdwatching.

Adventures unlimited; Absailing, bungi jumping, forest walking, mountain biking, road cycling, paragliding, scuba diving, rowing and sailing. 

Oysters and Ales; Famously produced in Knysna for many years and best consumed right here.

Unspoilt, unknown beaches - walk kilometer after kilometer without seeing a human being - but see the endangered black oyster catcher.

Experience a steam train journey, pulling through all the beauty.  Return from Sedgefield, Wilderness or George.

Belvidere, Brenton-on Sea, Goakamma, Swartvlei, Groenvlei, Rondevlei, Spitskop, Goudveld, Millwood gold, Seven Passes road - magical names for magical places, all in the district.

The famous elephants are still there - four of the original herd roam the forest mostly unseen, amongst the many "big trees" of Southern Africa's greatest forest.

Then there is the charismatic Waterfront and the charming village, with many tea rooms and restaurants, fascinating historical buildings museums and memorabilia

Knysna, the greatest holiday destination on the continent.
