Quay Five on the Waterfront — Apartment Accommodation
Knysna Quays 5, Waterfront, 6571 Knysna, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
A one-bedroom apartment on Knysna's waterfront, with a balcony positioned to catch views across the lagoon. The layout is straightforward — bedroom, bathroom, living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen — but the location does a lot of work. Bollard Bay Beach is roughly two and a half kilometres away, and the central position puts the Knysna Quays, its restaurants and the timber boardwalk within easy reach on foot.
Inside, air-conditioning, streaming services, a work desk, and free parking make it a practical base for longer stays. A sun terrace extends the living space outward when the weather cooperates, which along this stretch of coast is often. Simola Golf and Country Club is about seven kilometres away for those who want to add a round to the itinerary.
Plettenberg Bay is reachable in under half an hour. Quay Five suits a couple or solo traveller who wants to be in the middle of things without sacrificing quiet at the end of the day.
