Knysna Waterfront - Knysna
Knysna Waterfront


We stayed in Knysna for a few days, I was not too fond of this town to be honest. For starters we actually wanted to stay further down the road in Plett Bay, but all the backpackers were booked out there and so we stayed in Knysna.

I will try not to be too harsh here ok - but to me Knysna was a small town, on a worn out, over touristed route dubbed "the Garden Route", the town centre was so small, and there was so much traffic that it became hard to breath!

We were lucky, the backpackers was great and we could chill there for awhile.
