Make sure you're on the stoep by sunset.

Rates: R350-R600 per unit.

The Knysna Waterfront
A leisurely walk around will reveal the same sort of stuff you’ll find in town – African crafts, touristy knick-knacks and by-the-sea sorts of apparel. But the boats do float close enough to touch, so browse around, enjoy an ice-cream cone and watch the kiddies attempt the climbing wall. Carries a good selection of deli items including wine. Worth a look, especially if...

Best viewing times: early morning or late afternoon when they return from their...
