Seasons


The Winter Break:
The winter months, perhaps the best time to get away to Knysna. It’s a special time in the Garden Route, when the air sparkles like champagne and the days are clear, warm and wind-free. If you thought Knysna experienced those cold, rainy, wet winters for which Cape Town is famous, think again. Because winter is our driest season. Which explains why the friendly people of Knysna chose to stage our most exciting annual events during winter – like the Knysna Oyster Festival, Knysna Forest Marathon, Knysna Cycle Tour the Nederburg Knysna Arts Experience – and, of course, Lightleys Warm Winter Season - when you can expect great special offers to make house boating – and visiting Knysna – very inexpensive and totally affordable.

The Spring Fling:
Start your holiday fun early and come house-boating in the spring! The sun is warm, the fishing fabulous, the golfing good, and the exploring - well, the exploring is at your own pace.

Summer Rendezvous:
Summer is the most popular time for house-boating, so book early. The water is clear and cool and makes a welcome reprieve from the sun. And your houseboat is the perfect home base for all types of water sports, as well as for exploring and golfing in the Garden Route.

The Autumn Affair:
If you want a quieter and perhaps more relaxing time come house-boating in autumn. The colours are breathtaking and the lagoon water is warm and clear. Fishing, golfing, bird-watching, hiking, cycling and exploring are ideal at this time.

MOORING LOCATIONS:


There are many beautiful locations to overnight, or simply to stop and soak in some peace, quiet and sun. You will be given a map of permitted mooring locations and sleeping areas. The map gives you an idea of what's in store, and just how much of this fantastic estuary you may explore.

CONFERENCES:


Known as the "Crow's Nest", our conferencing centre seats up to 50 delegates comfortably. It is ideal for hosting any form of function where a presentation may be required.
