Knysna is a well-known holiday destination for many reasons, not least among these the Knysna oyster. Every year the local community hosts a festival where people from around the world come to taste the oysters and share in the fun and entertainment on offer. The atmosphere is that of opulence and champagne cocktails on the deck of a local yacht is just the setting to indulge in the oysters. Or perhaps a small cosy restaurant with world class chefs will be more to your liking. Whatever you fancy, if you are partial to oysters, make a date to visit the Knysna oyster festival.

An evening sunset from the deck and a morning coffee by the pool, a lunch in the shadow of the famous Heads or a quick oyster watching the rolling waves. If this sounds like paradise then consider a visit to Knysna where every moment is a memory to be treasured.
