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.

Dover on Sea exceeded expectations as the perfect romantic retreat. The bath overlooking the sea at sunset was a real treat with a glass of champagne.

An unexpected treat is the art collection from local artisans and unique art pieces by the owners son. A great place to come for a long weekend or a week, as there is so much to do and see. Can’t wait to come back and bring friends from Wales who are visiting in July

We had popped into Brenton Haven in January 2022 while in the area for a wedding and I decided I wanted to come for a break. We booked for a week in April and it was the best decision. The room was spectacular with wonderful sea views. I am very fussy and hard to please and am happy to say I had nothing to criticize whatsoever. The service was exceptional, the staff were always smiling, joking and willing to do anything to please or assist. Nothing was too much of an effort, the restaurant serves exceptional cuisine which we enjoyed thoroughly. Overall a wonderful experience and we plan to come back again soon. We cannot heap more praise to this ideally located gem.
