Knysna
Lost Your Ring at Knysna?
The Iconic Heads, the Lagoon, the Waterfront, and the Indigenous-Forest Hinterland — Recovery on South Africa's Headline Garden Route Lagoon-and-Forest Town.
Knysna is the iconic Garden Route lagoon-and-forest town of the Western Cape — anchored by the dramatic Knysna Heads (the famous twin sandstone cliffs guarding the lagoon mouth), the protected Knysna Lagoon, the Knysna Waterfront with its restaurant-and-shopping cluster, the indigenous Knysna Forest (with its famous Knysna elephants and giant yellowwood trees), the chain of premium hotels (Belvidere Manor, Pezula Resort & Spa, The Lofts Boutique Hotel), the famous Knysna Oyster Festival, and a strong international tourism, gourmand-tourism, and South-African-domestic visitor base. The character is firmly Garden-Route-lagoon-and-forest: international tourists, gourmand-tourism travellers, eco-tourism visitors, the Knysna residential community, and the South-African-domestic visitor base. Visitors lose rings at the Heads, on the lagoon, at the Waterfront, and in the indigenous Knysna Forest.
