    We popped in here on arrival to Knysna for lunch as it was close to our accommodation. Was a bit confused at first as it seems to be hidden within a chalet style accommodation. We had a wonderful host who made sure we were seen to. Unfortunately with the unrest in the Western Cape at the time, many staff were not available and the menu was limited. The food we had was adequate but not mind blowing. Not much more to write home about.

    Dinner for 2 at the new Nautical South restaurant which is now off the road towards Belvidere. Hard to find where to go in the dark. Only guests for the first part of the evening. 3 later arrivals were certainly given a more royal treatment. Meals were average (steak and hake) rather drowned in sauces. No hosting whatsoever. The young waitress was fun and engaging. All rather a forlorn and disappointing experience.

    Excellent spot by the beach. Mostly burgers, salads and pizza are on the menu during our visit. Great atmosphere by the beach

    This is a place catered towards holiday makers. Could not taste coffee in the cappuccino and very basic food choices. Nice nautical theme decor.

    Hake was AMAZING! Juicy, fresh, and seasoned well. Staff is very friendly and go out of their way to make your experience pleasant. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

    So lovely - forget the world - enjoy the river, the feeling like you are on a remote island is bliss. Dogs and kids are welcome and it's a great place to relax the kids can play in the water and everybody can sit back and enjoy.

    Really awesome. A nice chilled vibe. Their slimmers burger is truly the best burger I've ever eaten, bar one (the one might just be fluffed my memory). Service is lovely and friendly. I think some of the staff run games for Children in the park next door. Really awesome. Nice beer too. Literally my only complaint is that the tables are pretty wide, easy to deal with. The place is spacious. It's just tough to hold hands over the table. Easily remedied by sitting adjacent to one another. The call function doesn't work

    It is OK as long as you do not go into the bar area. The smell of cigarette smoke is unbearable and you have to go through the bar to get to the toilets. Very bad planning. Also there are zero visable signage to indicate smoking areas.

    Love their burgers and fries, they definately use clean oil for their fries

    Because of loadshedding, a 3 star overall rating will be given. Friendly staff and a great venue with plenty possibilities.

    Great value for money. Very fresh mussels cooked in an amazing sauce. The hake was also amazing. Friendly waiter. Would definitely recommend it.

    Pub side. lady manger is horrible for that job. Shocking for a manager to drink and worry about her own needs and not the customers. We made a booking for 3 o clock but she didn't care for the customer because her needs was more important... Rather go into knysna then waste ur time with this place.... Useless manager.

Seafood restaurant
👍👍 I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
