Garden of Eden nature walk and other Knysna, South Africa Things to Do Tips

We enjoyed a welcome break from the sun & decided to take a stroll in the Garden of Eden which is a short 1.5km boarded walk through the forest, very lush & peaceful.
The walk is wheelchair friendly with various picnic spots
Some of the trees are labelled making it an educational walk as well

Noetzie Beach is a stunning secluded beach famous for its castles which are available to stay in. The Noetzie river forms a pretty lagoon
Probably one of the reasons it is so secluded is to get there is approx 5km dirt road drive then about 100+ steps down to the beach & the climb back up is steep!!
