21 Boekenhout Ave, Upper Old Place, Knysna, 6571 Knysna, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
Lagoon views and a large garden pool make Footprints of Knysna an easy choice for anyone wanting a quieter base in town. Each apartment comes with its own balcony looking out over the garden and water below, a kitchenette, en suite bathroom, and satellite TV — self-contained without feeling spare. The surrounding neighbourhood is residential and unhurried, suited to couples or small families rather than groups.
Bollard Bay Beach is roughly three and a half kilometres away, and the Knysna Heads — where the lagoon opens dramatically to the sea — is a ten-minute drive. Back at the property, afternoons tend to organise themselves around the heated pool and the shade of the garden. Free parking and WiFi are included, and the whole setup is non-smoking throughout.

Footprints of Knysna is owner run with the most stunning views of Knysna Lagoon and the dramatic Knysna Heads. The property is fully fenced and parking is secure - ideal for all self drive guests. There is a sparkling swimming pool (recently revamped) and secluded, beautifully kept lush green gardens where guests can relax and soak up the sun and atmosphere in this peaceful suburb. This is NOT a suitable venue for parties or gatherings due to the tranquil nature of the neighbourhood.
There is a peaceful, relaxed, "feel good" atmosphere and high standards in our beautiful guest accommodation. All apartments have access to self-catering and TV's with satellite tv and free WIFI.
With her own particular brand of hospitality, passion for tourism, caring nature and new ideas and energy, Kitty continues to stamp her own footprint on this tried and trusted accommodation.
Footprints is full of character and gives you a relaxed, 'feel at home' environment set in the stunning surrounds of Knysna’s flora & fauna. Views of the Knysna Lagoon, Knysna Heads and architect inspired Thesen Islands from all accommodation.
