The Garden Route - Knysna Waterfront - Knysna, South Africa - National Scenic Byways on Waymarking.com

Nestling on the banks of a shimmering lagoon is the picturesque town of Knysna. Beaches, lakes, mountains and rivers provide endless opportunity for leisure and outdoor adventure.

Knysna Waterfront is a popular hotspot for tourists and locals alike, known and loved for its leisure activities, dining, shopping and spectacular views. It is also the departure point for a number of yachts and cruising vessels that take visitors out on the lagoon and showcase the splendour of the Western Cape.

The life-size bronze statue of Bondi is always a treat to see. This English Bulldog was known for visiting Knysna on the HMS Verbena during the 1920’s and 1930’s. He was a resident on this ship and was loved by its passengers. However, in 1931, he followed them onto shore and died of heatstroke. They buried him on Thesen Island, and his statue remains as a reminder of this brave ‘sailor’. It can be seen just next to the ferry departure jetty on the western side of the Waterfront.

The coordinates were taken at the entrance to the waterfront (see our second picture with the clocks).
