Enjoy some of the best views of the Heads while sipping cocktails and watching magnificent Knysna sunsets.
Sushi was outstanding! Fresh and delicious. But the best part of The Knysna Experience is the staff. They are super friendly, and pay special attention to their customers. Will definitely be back
The restaurant is located right near the boat docking station.
The staff were very friendly and they had some good food options available. I never taste the food but ordered a soft serve from here. It was fine but it would be nice if they sold proper Ice Cream.

Worst experience ever! Charging R200 for a starter sized main. Hake also raw. Tried to speak with manager but seems oblivious to any feedback. I can understand why this restaurant is empty. Won’t ever see me again. Should be renamed “Worst Knysna Experience”

Staff very friendly, helpful and efficient. Food really nice and good value for money.
Perfect setting looking out onto the estuary.
Music a bit loud but turned down when requested, so all in, a great evening out.

Its the first time I've visited the Knysna Experience, and it was truly a lovely afternoon.
Location is awesome and the people are fun and friendly. I had a great time and the view from the waters edge was spectacular
