The hotel has a very nice location close to the Knysna center, with an amazing view of the whole lagoon. It is a quiet place with a nice restaurant and a refreshing swimming pool. I spent relaxing time here, which helped me recover after an unexpected operation in a private hospital nearby. I would like to come back again. Thank you to everyone who cared for me during my recovery.

Crown on the Heads is very aptly named. The location is 5 Star Plus. As we were shown in to the guest house and out on to the pool terrace, we were faced with the most amazing view of The Heads. This breath taking view continued on in our suite, which had wall to wall, floor to ceiling patio windows. Luxurious bedroom, bathroom with a stand alone bath facing the view and a shower and toilet at the back. we also a had an enormous cinema room. Dora is a wonderfully warm host and made us feel at home. Breakfast was excellent

Everything was nearby, but you need to be there to experiences the wonder of Knysna. It is a must to go visit the Love Gifts store. The Portuguese restaurant food was delicious, but you have to try all the food places there as everything is divine.

I haven't visited Knysna in a long time and sadly I have to say that, in the last few years the city has gone to the dogs, it is 3rd world at best. Restaurants, tourist areas and the natural beauty is still awesome, but the city center is dirty, run down and unsafe to walk around in, especially after dark.

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants. Knysna is a must see and visit destination on the Garden Route.

Prospect Cottage is a nice appartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The balcony has a beautiful look over Knysna, the lagoon and the Heads. We have enjoyed our stay as a family, because the cottage is spacious and very quiet at the end of a dead end street. Only the noise of the main road was audible, sitting on the balcony. The stay was too short to visit all the remarkeble places of Knysna and the Garden Route, but we certainly want to come back.
