What people say
It was excellent – would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of
adventure and to just relax, read books, playing cards, fishing etc...
Nothing like sleeping out under the stars and hearing the gentle lapping
of water against the hull of the boat when you sleep, and nowhere better
then Knysna lagoon. A holiday that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon,
thanks once again to Joost and his very friendly staff at Knysna
