Knysna Waterfront Tours and Activities

Sunset at the waterfront in Knysna. The waterfront area is one of the best places to eat in Knysna, and our two favorite restaurants are Caffe Mario (Italian) and 34 South (little bit of everything and also great oysters!).

What a place! Everything is fabulous and the staff are exceptional. This was our 6th visit to the Cellars and it won’t be our last. The beautiful gardens together with the stylish interiors make for a luxurious and relaxing stay. The restaurant food is delicious too, what’s not to like?
