I ♥ Knysna because ...

Hi, I’m Liz Louw from Prospect Cottage in Knysna on the Garden Route.

KNYSNA IS BEST KNOWN for the Knysna Heads, deli­cious oysters and our loc­ally brewed beer.
GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN AT the Knysna Elephant Park with all the Jumbo’s. You can hand feed them fruit and veg­gies ...
THE BEST Elephant PICTURES can be taken at any of the tours on offer, be it rid­ing on the  ellies , going walk­ies with them or just chilling at the Boma at the Elephant Park.
OTHER HAPPY SNAPS CAN BE TAKEN AT Monkeyland nearby or the won­der­ful Birds of Eden ...

WHEN THE WEATHER'S GOOD, I LIKE TO chill out at Buffels Bay on the beach or walk­ing on the Wild Side.
WHEN THE WEATHER'S BAD, I LIKE TO check out a great DVD from any of the local Video  shops like Lemon and Lime. They have all the latest offer­ings.
I THINK THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT IS any­time, because the dif­fer­ent sea­sons offer you some­thing to do no mat­ter when you visit Knysna.

MY FAVOURITE BREAKFAST SPOTS IS East Head Cafe.
MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT IS The Olive Tree on the Main Road. Ellen's food is to die for!.
BEST LATE NIGHT SNACK at Dry Dock at the Waterfront.
FOR A NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN TRY any of the Waterfront res­taur­ants.
IF YOU WANT TO MEET LOCALS, GO TO Prime Cut and have a great steak in their courtyard.

KNYSNA'S BEST KEPT SECRET IS the glor­i­ous weather in May and June. We call it our Secret Season!
MY FAVOURITE THING TO DO WITH FRIENDS IS to go out for a bite to eat at the Waterfront ...
FOR SOME CULTURE I LIKE TO go on Penny and Ella’s Emzini Township tour, which is very pop­u­lar.
TO RELAX AND RESTORE MY SOUL, I LIKE TO pic­nic at Jubilee Creek in the Knysna Forests.
IF YOU'RE FEELING ADVENTUROUS, TRY the bungy jump at Tsitsikamma.

MY FAVOURITE DRIVE IS along the Rheenendal Ramble to the old Knysna gold­fields.
MY FAVOURITE SHOPS ARE our local Woolies and Out of the Blue for stun­ning golf shirts.
MY FAVOURITE whale-watching SPOT IS is at the Knysna Heads from May to September.
IF YOU ARE HERE IN July, join in the fun at the Oyster Festival. The town really rocks!
MY FAVOURITE MUSEUM IS Millwood House. Check out the dis­plays on George Rex the founder of Knysna.

TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN? A FUN OUTING IS the Leisure Isle, Bollard Bay for tak­ing to the waters. Here the kids can enjoy play­ing in the water without the danger of the strong currents.

BEST CHEAP AND CHEERFUL OUTING IS to Chatters for reas­on­ably priced meals.
WHEN MONEY'S NO OBJECT, I LIKE TO hang out at Pezula Hotel.
MY FAVOURITE WEEKEND GETAWAY IS to the Addo Elephant Park near Port Elizabeth. It is a close 2^nd to Knysna!
WHEN I WANT TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, I sup­port local char­it­ies espe­cially the Dorothy Broster Home.

I ♥ KNYSNA BECAUSE every day here is a hol­i­day. Knysna offers value for money espe­cially in the off sea­son. It is a town to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
