    I love the waterfront. It has the best eating places and I love strolling and browsing through the shops. I know that they are not equipped for loadshedding as places like Ocean Basket closes down completely. O’pescador makes use of candles and they do serve most dishes except for fries. Night time is especially beautiful outside. 👌

    The Waterfront boasts an array of restaurants that serve delicious meals, shops where you can buy anything from pretty stones to practical hats, t-shirts and gifts, book a boat cruise, or just take a scenic stroll to view the boats in the quarry, the beautiful statues, some art on the walls and admiring the model train set. Make sure to grab an ice-cream while you're at it.

    Lovely little waterfront with boutique clothing stores, nice restaurants, ample things to do, great views. Even a DeLorean museum. Great to spend some time and do touristy things.

    Love spending time here when the weather is good. Fabulous restaurants and enjoy taking a stroll to see all the boats. Loads of touristy shops for souvenir, safe, with loads of parking - definitely a favourite for the tourists and locals.

    What a lovely experience. The shops are all well stock and have great novelties for tourists to browse through and choose the perfect gift. Good restaurants and the all round vibe in the waterfront is electric. Although I am from Mossel Bay, it is always a pleasure visiting the Knysna Waterfront - which is a quick drive up the coast line.

    Lots of interesting stuff and memorabilia. Clean facilities. Lots of restaurants with a wide variety of food.

    Looking at some of these pics, you almost feel that little breeze that makes this something other than just another nice Mall.

    Lovely and relaxing to see the boats in the calm waters of the river lake. Sad so many places had to close down after the pandemic. Please take a trip to Heads, for a memorable experience.

    Quick stop on the way to Eastern Cape. Amazing!! Loved the place and will definitely return. Worth a weekend visit.

  • 5/5 heather b. 8 months ago on Google
    The merchandise in the shops is largely aimed at tourists. The restaurants are really good with diverse menus and all have a lovely view over the moored boats and the lagoon.

    This space seems great, but we were irritated that we could not find a restaurant that would accommodate two people. Their tables were empty, but all had "reserved" labels, and therefore, we were turned away. We loved watching the boats return from their trips to the Knysna Heads. The craft Market was fair but didn't have a big variety.

👍 Hartenbos has made some really good changes. Love the new look. I only have one complaint and it is about the lack of parking and small parking spaces.
