Knysna nestles on the banks of an estuary and is surrounded by forests, lakes and golden beaches. Take the time to enjoy a famous delectable home grown oyster. Plettenberg Bay is a seaside destination with spectacular scenery and a bay so beautiful that the Portuguese called its Bahia Formosa, today its affectionately known as Plett. Port Elizabeth officially marks the end of the Garden Route.
With so many places to stay on the Garden Route we have many favourites. For many years
Hunters Country Lodge has been regarded as one of the finest hotels in the area. Its sister lodge is called
Tsala and this modern and funky lodge is innovate with beautifully designed suites overlooking the indigenous forests. Situated close to Plettenberg is
Hog Hollow a family run lodge with a congenial atmosphere and welcoming staff. Plettenberg Bay makes the perfect beach holiday and
Plettenberg Park sits high on a cliff overlooking the sea. In Knysna we often recommend
