Fish Eagle Lodge in Knysna: affordable
Knysna accommodation, beautifully positioned with a view of the
Knysna Lagoon and mountains. A perfect base to explore surrounding
indigenous forests, trails, lakes and beaches.
Nestling on the banks of a turquoise blue lagoon
in the heart of the Garden Route is the picturesque town of Knysna.
Pristine beaches, lakes, mountains, forests, and rivers provide
endless opportunity for leisure and outdoor activities. Within the
town, craft shops and cafés beckon with small-town charm
and hospitality. The area is a veritable garden of Eden: home to
the only forest elephant in South Africa, the unique Knysna seahorse,
the Brenton-blue butterfly, the Pansy shell, Knysna Turaco and a
variety of water fowl, forest birds, dolphins, visiting whales and
a fine team of associated Knysna jewellers.
A temperate climate
and a fine selection of restaurants, golf estates, health spas,
boat cruises, nature reserves, and outdoor activities make Knysna
the perfect holiday destination. Even in winter the warm Indian
Ocean attracts many a swimmer.
The indigenous forests are dotted with well marked
walks and cycling/horse riding paths, whilst the 8000 plant species
of the Cape fynbos attract many birds (some endemic to the area).With
an average January temperature of 26ºC and the winter averageof
18ºC, it is a happy climate all year round.
