If you want a base to stay while exploring the Garden Route and the Klein Karoo, and you want somewhere with an offbeat personality all of its own, that has beautiful scenery and lots to do outdoors, then Knysna is it. A medium sized town spread out along the shores of a large lagoon, Knysna manages to be stylish, connected and yet old-time hippie as well. It’s accessible by car from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and George airports. And it’s the kind of place that you can tailor to the holiday you want. If you want exclusivity and pampering, take a champagne cruise across the lagoon or out to the Indian Ocean, or play golf on a top notch course. Wandering the waterfront and old town centre you’ll find artsy little shops, curious characters and restaurants to suit all budgets. If it’s nature you’re after, take a kayak down the winding Knysna river. Or take a ferry to the Featherbed Reserve, explore the Knysna Heads and walk the silent forests. Children can have the time of their lives at wildlife sanctuaries, beaches and the surrounding Outeniqua Mountains. Adventure sports are all there too, from abseiling, kite surfing and paragliding, to angling and deep sea fishing. And if you’re up for a party, come when one of Knysna’s festivals is going on.
