Our Resort

Self-Catering Comfort in the Heart of Knysna

Oaklands on the Knoll offers a self-catering stay built around convenience, comfort and the freedom to explore Knysna and the wider Garden Route.

Located just 500 metres from Knysna’s centre, the property places shops, restaurants, the waterfront and key attractions within easy reach. At the same time, its position within a secure complex surrounded by trees and gardens creates a sense of calm and privacy.

The accommodation is well suited to families and small groups, with two bedroom duplex units that offer practical, comfortable living. Each unit includes a fully-equipped kitchen, open-plan lounge and dining space, as well as a private patio with braai facilities. Upstairs bedrooms provide a quieter space to rest, with the main bedroom opening onto a balcony.

Shared facilities such as the clubhouse, plunge pool and games room create opportunities for relaxed downtime, whether it is an afternoon by the pool or an evening spent indoors.

From this base, guests can easily explore everything Knysna has to offer, from lagoon activities and forest trails to nearby beaches and coastal towns. Day trips to Brenton-on-Sea, Buffalo Bay and Plettenberg Bay add even more variety.

Oaklands on the Knoll offers a stay where location, flexibility and ease come together, making it simple to enjoy one of South Africa’s most loved coastal regions.

ACTIVITIES

Explore Knysna and the Garden Route

Knysna puts the lagoon, the forests and a run of beaches within reach, and Oaklands puts you minutes from all of it.

Plan Your Days

Free Lagoon Boat Cruises

Guests at Oaklands on the Knoll can arrange free boat cruises on the Knysna Lagoon through a local operator. It is the easiest way to get out onto the water that the town is built around, and to see the Heads from below rather than from the road above.
Find Out More

Knysna Town and Waterfront

The centre of Knysna sits about 500 metres from the complex, with the waterfront a little beyond it. Trendy cafes, restaurants and boutiques line the quays, and the lagoon is the view from most of them. The closest restaurant is under a kilometre away.
Find Out More

Featherbed Nature Reserve

Featherbed is a privately owned reserve on the Western Head, reachable only by ferry across the lagoon. The eco-experience pairs the crossing with a 4x4 drive up the headland to the viewpoints, and an optional guided 2.2km walk down through coastal forest and fynbos into ancient sea caves.
Find Out More

Buffalo Bay

Buffalo Bay has one of the safest swimming beaches in the Knysna area, which is why families keep going back. Lifeguards patrol the main beach in season. The quieter Wild Side runs alongside the Goukamma Nature Reserve, and a 4.5km circular trail loops through the fynbos behind it.
Find Out More

Brenton-on-Sea

Brenton-on-Sea sits high above the crescent of Buffalo Bay, with five kilometres of uninterrupted beach running between the two. The sandstone Castle Rock anchors the western end, and the Fisherman's Walk gives the best vantage point for spotting dolphins offshore.
Find Out More

Knysna Forest

The Diepwalle section of the Garden Route National Park carries three circular trails through indigenous forest, all starting at the forestry station. The Black route runs 9km and easy, the White 8km and moderate, the Red 7km and harder. Yellowwoods, streams and old woodcutter paths throughout.
