Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Knysna, Western Cape
Knysna stands out on South Africa's famed Garden Route thanks to the sandstone cliffs that dramatically separate its tranquil lagoon from the pounding surf of the Indian Ocean. It's also home to the country's largest indigenous forest. Hop aboard a ferry for a ride through the scenic highlights. The Millwood Mines at Jubilee Creek, site of a major gold rush in 1885, provide a picturesque spot for a picnic. Be sure to try some local oysters during the renowned annual festival.

We did the walk this morning with our 2 sons aged 13 and 8. We are fit but our kids are not and they successfully did the walk in over just 2 hours. The forest is just spectacular and the people we met on the walk were kind and friendly. There is only one part that is quite steep but for the rest any able bodied person in good health can do it. Will defenitely be back on a regular basis!

I loved that she left me to sleep. These treatments should be relaxing, that is why we go. Most therapist want to know your life story, but Portia did not ask 1 single question, she just pampered me and that is what I needed. Thank you Portia, you know exactly what you are doing...it was wonderful.

Reviewed By foodandwine2750
We were wandering around Knsyna on a sunny afternoon, and happened to pop into Jan’s studio. What began as a chance stop-in turned into a wonderful experience talking with Jan about his interesting life as an artist. He kindly offered us water, coffee, or wine, and made us feel at home while we looked around at his incredibly unique art pieces (all finger-painted!!!). His kind nature was apparent through his artwork and his actions. We really enjoyed talking to him and ended up buying some small pieces and a unique wine cork board. I wish I had pictures to share. An absolute must!!!!!!!!!!

What an amazing find! So unique and absolutely awesome! Highly recommend a visit. Even though in an industrial area, there are thi gs to keep the little ones (and big ones!) amused! The beer is great as are the gin tasters.
