13 Watsonia Drive, Paradise, Knysna, 6750

The town nestles between the impressive Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean, with extensive world-renowned forests encircling it like a protective mantle. At the heart of Knysna is the lagoon, sheltered from the sea by the monolithic sandstone "heads", silent sentinels down the centuries representing the rich history of this unique area.

Indigenous forests, fynbos, lakes, rivers and mountains, combined with a moderate climate, make Knysna a natural Eden for flora and fauna lovers with an abundance of natural features in the area to be especially appreciated. These include the unique Knysna seahorse and delicate pansy shell of the lagoon, the playful dolphins on the seashore throughout the year, the humpback and southern right whales during the months of May and September, the colourful Knysna Loerie and the Narina Trogon, especially delightful for bird enthusiasts and the only forest elephants in South Africa.

Adding to the richness of this incredible region is the spectacular Fynbos vegetation, contributing 8000 plant species to the cape floral kingdom. Knysna is the ideal Garden Route base, offering visitors an unforgettable stay, from the very adventurous, to those who prefer relaxing in the sun, strolling through the cool forests or taking scenic day trips.
