Set right on the edge of the Knysna Lagoon, Paquita is a three-bedroom self-catering villa with direct beach access, a large wooden deck and plenty of space for families, couples and small groups.
Knysna is shaped by more than its lagoon, forests and coastline. For Women’s Month, we meet five women contributing to the town through business, tourism, education, community work and local initiatives.
Planning a weekend away with friends? Spend a few easy days in Knysna browsing local boutiques, lingering over lunch, unwinding at the spa and making the most of the lagoon. Here’s an itinerary for a relaxed girls’ getaway near The Heads.
Knysna has a surprisingly good collection of independent women’s fashion boutiques. Here are a few favourites around Gray Street, Thesen Island, the Waterfront and Milkwood Square.
