Guidebook for Knysna
Food Scene
Best artisan bakery in SA. Wood-fired bakes - most incredible croissants. By far the best service and the ambiance is just incredible. Always jam-packed, they don't do bookings and they are closed on Mondays.

Awesome service, incredible sea views - you are literally in between The Heads! Delicious breakfasts, great coffee (Deluxe, served in LeCreuset) and their Carrot cakes and Meringues are pretty impressive too.

We got married in this restaurant!! We were supposed to get married on the beach..but the weather turned! So we had our ceremony upstairs (there is a bar there now) and our reception downstairs. Great views, Sundy sushi specials and a variety of good food (their steak is competitive). On Thesen Island.

Shopping
Incredible handmade jewellery, made by jewellery designer, Stefni Muller. Tucked away behind 'French Kisses', next to Ile de Pain on Thesen Island. Something different - you're gauranteed to walk away with something for yourself and a loved one.

I personally know the owners Gina and Jayne. They travel the world to find the most exquisite fashion items. Often there are only one of each (per size) in the shop! Stunning statement pieces, real leather shoes and handbags and incredible jewelry pieces (all locally made). Cute accessories and show-stopping bathing suites! A must for the ladies!
Also go have a look at their lifestyle/ interior shop called Madam Botany (right next door). I buy most of my decor items and prints there! Wooden toys and boutique-like clothing for babies and kids. As well as a 'his' section.

This cute harbour town has ample shopping options. From Weylandts Decor to hand made chocolate, jewellery, hair dressers (Nicci Philips - the best in town), and designer clothing shops. It also boasts with some of the best restaurants in town - Ile de Pain, Sirocco, Tapas and The Exchange. There's also a great Health Shop and a lovely Spa (Le Tranquile) which I often visit.
Neighbouring the Tapas and Exchange restaurant is a great children's play area - making it perfect for those family dinners. You can sit and dine while the kids are playing in eye-sight :)

We often visit Buffalo Bay on weekends. Great for surfing, fishing, swimming, and sun-bathing. Waves are quite gentle and can be enjoyed by the whole family. Take a long walk on the beach to Brenton on Sea. Incredible sea life and reef.
Sweet restuarant with a big deck overlooking the ocean.
They have lifesaving during peak season.
