Drinks & Nightlife
The original craft brewery in Knysna, a wide variety of beers on tap as well as snacks and basic food. Not always the best service but good for an evening of beer tasting.

Knysna is surrounded by indigenous forests, we recommend the Circles in the Forest hike, it's an easy walk through an ancient shady forest.
