I´m life in Germany, but was often in SA, because our friends life in Bantry Bay. On Dec. we want to go again to Knysna because we want to buy a property in Pezula and I have to say that your video is so dammmmm cool! You show all the cool places. Thanks a lot for that!
The truth is, we barely scratched the surface of all the places you could visit Knysna in this video and if we went back, there are so many other places we could show off to the world in Knysna. Thank you to Dwayne and Alexa for being the most epic hosts and tour guides in Knysna and I can't wait to come back!
I’ve been going to Knysna for 15 years, between 2-5 times a year, I’ve never once got bored of it. It’s a nice place to be, once you drive into Knysna, it feels like all your stress has gone away, and you have become a new person! One of the most underrated places to go to in South Africa! Loved this video
Nico, I couldn't agree with you more. Knysna is such a special destination. The crazy part is that there are so many other spots that are as beautiful but most South Africans don't fully realise. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!
As a South African I remember the first time I went to Knysna, it was as if I am dreaming. This place is so beautiful, and the people are friendly. I could imagine myself retiring here.
Ntombikayise, you described Knysna perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and if you do retire in Knysna, we will be right alongside you 🇿🇦❤️
I have visited Knysna twice and i have found it to be one of the best tourist destinations in our beautiful country South Africa. I love her beaches and crystal clear waters.
Raymond, I couldn’t agree with you more. The crazy part is that we were just scratching the surface in this video. There is so much to do and some many beautiful places to visit in Knysna but we didn’t have much time. We have to go back and fill a follow-up video at some point ❤️
Wonderful Video well produced, My wife and I are moving to Knysna next year to build and live out our years. This made me want to speed up the process, great job
Gavin, thanks for taking the time to watch. I have to credit the team for all their hard work in putting this video together. Most importantly, the goal was to inspire people to visit Knysna while feeling patriotic about our beautiful country (despite our problems). I hope this video achieved that!
@@likeatourist It was achieved for sure. What is the name of your DJ friend who lives in Knysna please? I am considering something when we move down for good,
I spent a large part of my teens in Knysna. Glorious years, fascinating people, beautiful vistas, rugged coastline, rapidly changing weather at times, great food, lots of interesting history, and one of the safest places to live in SA. Moving back there from overseas in 2025. Can't wait!!
Well done guys, because most people want to travel internationally for the status of having gone overseas you actually don't realise just how many places we actually have to see in our country, thank you for showcasing it. keep it up.
Kev, I don't know if I could have said it any better. For the longest time, I equally only regarded travel as being legitimate if I left our shores but now I am as excited to get on the open road and go on a South African adventure. Of course traveling abroad is awesome too and some of the videos we make this year will be in other countries but I hope that more South Africans act like tourists in their own country too!
Djenai, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Glad you like the video and we hope it plays a small role in inspiring others to visit Knysna more. We love your town and we can't wait to come back!
Thank you Mark for choosing to showcase Knysna! This is honestly one of my favourite places on Earth, and now I can share your video with people so they can understand why I love it so much there 💕
Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad you like the video and the only reason we hope it goes viral is so that more people can see how beautiful Knysna really is.
Well done Mark and team! Living in neighboring George, we are really spoilt for choice in the Garden Route - from mountains and forests to sandy beaches literally 20 minutes from one another! The video was well thought out and a great reminder of what we possibly take for granted. Great creation. Looking forward to your next production. Cheers.
Clinton, thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and to comment! Hoping it plays a small part in inspiring people to act like tourists all over this beautiful country!
Lazarus, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I don't personally play golf but I can only imagine there are a few glorious golf courses. Would Pezula be one of them for you?
Thank you so much Carol for taking the time to watch and comment! We hope the video played a small role in inspiring South Africans to visit Knysna. We can't wait to go back and create more content!
It's so knys - I like it twice. After watching this, I want to drive down to Knysna NOW! Well done Mark and team - the production quality is incredible - and if someone can put the magic of a destination into a video - this is it!
Sean, really appreciate that you took the time to watch and comment. Our goal was to showcase Knysna in a positive light and we hope more people visit this beautiful town as a result!
Craig, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. The honest truth is, we know we were barely scratching the surface in this video in terms of places to visit and things to do. That said, we will be back and we will definitely explore your suggestions!
Philasande, thank you so much for watching and commenting. Our goal was to inspire more people to visit Knysna so we love to hear that's what you'll be doing! Looking forward to your video!
Kwanele, thanks so much for taking the time to watch. Took us a month to edit which is why we appreciate each and every sub. You’re a legend. Appreciate the support.
Carmen, you are going to have the best time. We didn't even scratch the surface in this video! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Hope we did South Africa proud!
Brett, you are absolutely spot on which is why we are so obsessed with documenting that beauty! Hope this video is the start of many that show off the incredible beauty in SA and abroad 🇿🇦❤️
Jade, you legend. You are absolutely missed brother. I will be back in London sooner than later to shoot a Like a Tourist video on that side of the world. Looking forward to catching up again soon!
This video is absolutely amazing! I love the interactions between each other, the chats, the laughter and everything in-between. You and your team nailed it and it's phenomenal!!
Tiana, thank you so much. Dwayne Hurn was an epic host and tour guide in Knysna. We were barely scratching the surface in this video because there's so much to do but we hope this video plays a small role in inspiring more South Africans to visit Knysna. Thanks again for the support. Means the world to us!
This looks absolutely incredible and makes me want to go and eat all of the pizza this very second. 😂😂😂 #southafricantourism #knysnatourism #proudlysouthafrican
Laura, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Really does mean so much to my small team and I. Also, we uploaded another (shorter) video this morning about pizza in Knysna if you haven't seen it already: ua-cam.com/video/ktUSBQyHerQ/v-deo.html
Wilson, you and your wife have great taste in your love for Knysna. Thanks for taking the time to watch this video. We just want to make the kind of travel content that South Africans want to watch 🇿🇦❤️
Great Video. Yes indeed, South Africa has some incredible places for us locals to visit, but we just take it for granted and let it go to waste. Thanks for reminding us of what we have close by.
That makes my heart so happy to hear! We are actually currently in Dullstroom shooting the same video about this amazing town. The more I travel across South Africa, the more I think we don’t truly realise the everyday beauty we are exposed to 🇿🇦❤️
Matthew, if this video inspired you even a little to visit Knysna then we did our job. You have our word that Knysna is amazing but would love to hear your thoughts should you visit.
Jerad, thanks for taking the time to watch and also for the enthusiastic comment. Really means so much to us! Our next full feature vide is up in about two weeks and we can't wait to show the world. Here's to more South Africans acting like tourists in their own country!
Andisiwe, it is so awesome to open the comments section and see what you wrote. The channel's reason for being is to get people to plan their next trip so it makes us feel so good when you write this. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Means the world to my small team and I!
Mafika, we have our problems for sure (as you know) but facts are facts, and South Africa is definitely one of the most beautiful destinations on planet earth 🇿🇦❤️
Fantastic and perfectly captured. Thank you for promoting our beautiful town and surrounds. Looking forward to more videos. Will be sharing this far and wide 3🙌👏
Sharon, thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video and also to comment. We genuinely just wanted to play a small part in SHOWING people how incredible Knysna is and inspire more South Africans to visit. Hope it showcases your town in a positive light!
Ndummmy, this is so epic to hear. The truth is, we barely scratched the surface of things to do and places to visit in this video. You are going to have the best time 🇿🇦❤️
Loving the whole vibe of these videos, amazing production but, most of all, it's the unmistakably authentic passion and gees you guys have and as close as dammit to real road trip with your chinas!
Geoff, what a rad comment to read and you nailed it perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment. Means so much to my small team and I.
Don, thanks so much brother. Means the world to me. We are off to Dullstroom this weekend to shoot another video and I think it’s going to be a cracker because we learn new things each time we shoot. Can’t wait to come to London and shoot one there.
I currently work in Kenya but have a retirment home in George. I don't know the area very well as I lived in Durban most of my life before moving to Kenya. After watching "Like a Tourist", I can't wait to explore the areas - including Knysna - when I retire in 2024 and am a permanent resident of the Garden Route. Thank you for sharing your experience. Looking forward to other videos of that coastline, which I'll definitely add to my retirement bucket list of places to visit. Great idea to showcase South Africa in this way.
Jenny, you have made a wise decision to retire in George. What a beautiful area. That Garden Route has so many lifestyle features. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Our entire goal is to create the kind of content that inspire people to act like tourists in their own country. As long as we keep getting comments like yours, we will keep creating content. Thank you again. Your words mean so much to my small team and I. Cheers to retirement in 2024.
This is exactly why we kicked off our series of guides with Knysna. It’s beyond special and we hope more people visit. Thanks for leaving a comment 🇿🇦❤️
@@likeatourist you welcome. It was actually my second time watching this video, when I saw it again here on UA-cam, I thought I should watch it again and make a comment this time. Great video, it makes me miss Knysna because I haven't been there in years.
Richard, you don't know what it means to our small team when we get comments like this! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Appreciate it more than you know!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Edith. We are working on more videos but because we want to maintain a high quality of production, our next video will only be out in about a month. But we are working on it.
Beautiful a job well fone. Thank you. Our goal is to retire on the South Coast...George or the Wildernes. Its absolutely a beautiful part of South Africa with lots to do ❤️
Sonja, thank you for taking the time to watch our Knysna video. Although I like the South Coast, I have a real soft spot for the Garden Route because there is so much to do that side and yet you are still living the "quieter" life at the same time! Thanks for your support. Means the world to us!
Michelle, we can't recommend Knysna highly enough. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Means the world to my small team and I!
Well done on a great initiative and a great way of show casing what we have in this beautiful country. Come to the lower south coast and we will show you what we have in Southbroom and surrounds and then we could also do the Wild Coast!!!
Howard, thanks so much for watching and commenting. We are definitely making our way to the South Coast some time in 2023. There's so many amazing places to explore in SA and South Coast is definitely one of them!
This is great Mark especially for people like myself who like touring around South Africa. I still need to travel a lot around our country. I see Knysna is a beauty with nice food. I love nice food .
God bless all South Africans that love touring all over SA 🇿🇦❤️ Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Daniel. Helps my small team and I know that we’re on the right track. Next video about Dullstroom will be uploaded in about a week 😎
Mark, this video is the Bomb!! Ever since I watched it about 2 month ago, I've been watching it nearly every morning at breakfast, and at night with a pizza, gin and tonic. However its not the same though. God willing we will be in Knysna end November 2023 👍👍😇
Liewe land! Been considering adding travel vlogging to my travel writing and came across this video of yours. Excellent production ,presenting ,content & vibes! Super well done. Your channel will grow quick. Keep at it! 🎉
Hi Liezel, thank you so much for the awesome compliment. I think the more people vlog about this beautiful country, the better. We need a thriving community of people who show off our country in a positive light.
Thanks for the kind comment, Juan! And I appreciate that you took the time to watch. I’m just astounded that this video has gotten so far in reach and I’m really happy for all the spots that were listed in the video. If they’ve benefited from the reach then everyone is winning 🇿🇦❤️
Thanks so much Russell, and you're spot in on that there's so many things to do in Knysna and the Garden Route. We barely scratched the surface in this video and can't wait to go back and showcase more details. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Means a lot to our small team!
Wow looked awsome...was an honour to meet the man behind all this at the Mosaic Sedgefield market last Saturday. Thank you for showing the world our Gems
We passed through Knysna on a road trip earlier this year and there was just something so captivating and ethereal about this place. I hope to visit sometime soon 💕
Love your video showcasing Knysna, but just to let you know, there are plenty more places to stay apart from The Lofts, we have an amazing guesthouse, 130 years old that offers something totally different. Thanks for show casing the beauty of Knysna.
Hi Gail! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I do genuinely think we were scratching the surface in this video. There is so much to do and see in Knysna, and we had so little time there. Also, I am not from Knysna so I was just trying to showcase the general beauty. I only know what I know. I have no doubt that there are many beautiful places to stay on that side of the world including your guesthouse. Our goal is to come back and showcase many more places and things in the future, but my hope was that people who don’t live in Knysna get a small glimpse of the magic that your beautiful town has to offer ❤️
@@likeatourist thanks for the quick response. As you say, Knysna has so much to offer and there is so much beauty around us. Knysna will be waiting for you next visit
I always take the family to CT from Durban and we also make the holiday more about the journey than the arrival in CT. It’s amazing the stretch between Durban and CT! Love these episodes guys.
Wow Wow Wow, Mark I am just Blown away by the actual Beauty of Knysna. I have been there many times but I have never actually seen this side of Knysna it is incredibly Beautiful & Absolutely Stunning. The last time we were there we stayed at the Knysna Quay's self catering Apartments. It's in the Waterfront opposite 34 South Resturant. I wish I knew the Mayor then as we could have seen these Stunning places, Mark you are definitely our tour guide from now on. This video says it all. It's Absolutely Stunning 👏👏❤ Proudly South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦😊
Thanks so much brother. Really appreciate the feedback and support. Means so much to my small team and I. We learnt a lot from this Knysna video and will apply those lessons this weekend in Dullstroom.
This is wonderful Mark ! Well done. We are big road-trippers and this has just made me want to go back to Knysna. We travel with our two dogs, so for me it would be great to see a few pet-friendly places included. Look forward to your next video. xx
Louise, thank you for taking the time to watch this video and comment. Means the world to us. Also, your idea of showcasing pet-friendly places is a must. Thank you for the feedback!
Tyron, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We are collectively the creative team known as Like a Tourist and all the content was produced in-house. But we do share your sentiment about giving props. Thanks for the feedback!
Wow! Lying in bed on this Easter overcast fresh Sunday watching this amazing clip.. Been living in Plett for passed 25yrs, so I am very fortunate.. However one gets so caught up in your every day routine, we sometimes forget the Majestic beauty on our doorstep. I recently spent a day in Knysna doing a fun photo shoot with my son.. Did not get to Thesen Island though. After watching this captivating video, KLM you rock lol.. I can't wait for my next trip 😅.. Thank u Mark, The Mayor & team.. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.. wish there was more..Keep up the good work 👏 👍and wishing you all a Blessed & Happy Easter .. Di
Left gauteng in 2019 to move to cpt. Been working and then covid. Can't wait to hit the road with the family and explore this amazing province. Thank you for this awesome video insert
Alex, I also can’t wait for you to hit the road with your family and explore you’re new province. You live in one of the most beautiful provinces in the world ❤️ Thanks for taking the time to watch our video 🇿🇦
Michael, thank you so much. Really appreciate that you would take the time to watch the video and comment. Hope we did Knysna proud in this first round and can't wait to come back for a second edition. We really were just scratching the surface of things to do that side of the world!
Thank you for the video mate. My wife and I had the most incredible experience in Knysna based on your recommendation. Keep going with the content. You are doing a great job.
Kamo, when I read comments like yours, my heart melts. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Our whole goal was to inspire people to feel patriotic about South Africa and then visit other spots more!
I smiled from start to finish. And then I just wanted this year to finish so I can... go on holiday in the Garden Route! I'm coming for you, Bramon and East Head Cafe and lagoon and baked goods.
Thanks MV! I equally appreciate that you took the time to watch and comment. Means so much to my small team and I, and it helps us to know we’re on the right track 🇿🇦❤️
Debora, thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! Glad you enjoyed it and hoping to get a few more videos out before the end of the year!

You have basically lived the perfect life 😂
I would never leave if I grew up there 🥹😘

After watching "Like a Tourist", I can't wait to explore the areas - including Knysna - when I retire in 2024 and am a permanent resident of the Garden Route. Thank you for sharing your experience. Looking forward to other videos of that coastline, which I'll definitely add to my retirement bucket list of places to visit. Great idea to showcase South Africa in this way.
Jenny, you have made a wise decision to retire in George. What a beautiful area. That Garden Route has so many lifestyle features. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Our entire goal is to create the kind of content that inspire people to act like tourists in their own country. As long as we keep getting comments like yours, we will keep creating content. Thank you again. Your words mean so much to my small team and I. Cheers to retirement in 2024.
I'm from East London, EC. I first came to Knysna when I was 12 and it's the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
This is exactly why we kicked off our series of guides with Knysna. It’s beyond special and we hope more people visit. Thanks for leaving a comment 🇿🇦❤️
@@likeatourist you welcome. It was actually my second time watching this video, when I saw it again here on UA-cam, I thought I should watch it again and make a comment this time. Great video, it makes me miss Knysna because I haven't been there in years.
Well done guy's! The production of this video was phenomenal 👏 was actually upset when it ended 😂
Richard, you don't know what it means to our small team when we get comments like this! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Appreciate it more than you know!
Think I may just start enjoying SA again. Thank you
I've visited Knysna twice beautiful place and it has gone back on my list😁
Absolutely stunning! Love the video and the concept! Can’t wait to watch the next one! 🎉
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Edith. We are working on more videos but because we want to maintain a high quality of production, our next video will only be out in about a month. But we are working on it.
Beautiful a job well fone. Thank you. Our goal is to retire on the South Coast...George or the Wildernes. Its absolutely a beautiful part of South Africa with lots to do ❤️
Sonja, thank you for taking the time to watch our Knysna video. Although I like the South Coast, I have a real soft spot for the Garden Route because there is so much to do that side and yet you are still living the "quieter" life at the same time! Thanks for your support. Means the world to us!
Wow, really beautiful sea views, and even the forest too 🍃🌿
Great video, thanks for sharing. Would love to visit Knysna one day🥰
Michelle, we can't recommend Knysna highly enough. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Means the world to my small team and I!
Well done on a great initiative and a great way of show casing what we have in this beautiful country. Come to the lower south coast and we will show you what we have in Southbroom and surrounds and then we could also do the Wild Coast!!!
Howard, thanks so much for watching and commenting. We are definitely making our way to the South Coast some time in 2023. There's so many amazing places to explore in SA and South Coast is definitely one of them!
This is great Mark especially for people like myself who like touring around South Africa.
I still need to travel a lot around our country. I see Knysna is a beauty with nice food. I love nice food .
God bless all South Africans that love touring all over SA 🇿🇦❤️ Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Daniel. Helps my small team and I know that we’re on the right track. Next video about Dullstroom will be uploaded in about a week 😎
My wife and i will be definitely going back to Kynsna, to exprience it "Like a Tourist " - Thank you for this amazing video Mark.
Mark, this video is the Bomb!! Ever since I watched it about 2 month ago, I've been watching it nearly every morning at breakfast, and at night with a pizza, gin and tonic. However its not the same though. God willing we will be in Knysna end November 2023 👍👍😇
I see you are uploading nice content. I appreciate it
Liewe land! Been considering adding travel vlogging to my travel writing and came across this video of yours. Excellent production ,presenting ,content & vibes! Super well done. Your channel will grow quick. Keep at it! 🎉
Hi Liezel, thank you so much for the awesome compliment. I think the more people vlog about this beautiful country, the better. We need a thriving community of people who show off our country in a positive light.
New dream destination added to my list, definitely taking her to Knysna
Absolutely brilliant! Well done!😀
Great video Mark. Thank you for visiting our beautiful part of the country
Thanks for the kind comment, Juan! And I appreciate that you took the time to watch. I’m just astounded that this video has gotten so far in reach and I’m really happy for all the spots that were listed in the video. If they’ve benefited from the reach then everyone is winning 🇿🇦❤️
My absolute favourite place in all the world!
Awesome video! Good vibe throughout. I love Knysna and the Garden Route. There are so many things to do there and such beautiful places to visit.
Thanks so much Russell, and you're spot in on that there's so many things to do in Knysna and the Garden Route. We barely scratched the surface in this video and can't wait to go back and showcase more details. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Means a lot to our small team!
Wow looked awsome...was an honour to meet the man behind all this at the Mosaic Sedgefield market last Saturday. Thank you for showing the world our Gems
We passed through Knysna on a road trip earlier this year and there was just something so captivating and ethereal about this place. I hope to visit sometime soon 💕
You are spot on. There really is something so captivating in Knysna. Hope you get to go back and spend a bit more time there 🇿🇦❤️
Brilliantly executed video! Super funny and entertaining. Job well done as I’m going to Knysna because of you guys 🕺🥳🍕🥂
Only 4 mins in an oh my freaking goodness the production value of this video is incredible 🙏 'He's the reason I'm befok for Knysna' 😅😅
Nice Video , Nice representation , thanks from Oz
Love your video showcasing Knysna, but just to let you know, there are plenty more places to stay apart from The Lofts, we have an amazing guesthouse, 130 years old that offers something totally different. Thanks for show casing the beauty of Knysna.
Hi Gail! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I do genuinely think we were scratching the surface in this video. There is so much to do and see in Knysna, and we had so little time there. Also, I am not from Knysna so I was just trying to showcase the general beauty. I only know what I know. I have no doubt that there are many beautiful places to stay on that side of the world including your guesthouse. Our goal is to come back and showcase many more places and things in the future, but my hope was that people who don’t live in Knysna get a small glimpse of the magic that your beautiful town has to offer ❤️
@@likeatourist thanks for the quick response. As you say, Knysna has so much to offer and there is so much beauty around us. Knysna will be waiting for you next visit
@@GailDaltonMind sharing the name of your guesthouse?
Absolutely awesome. #VisitKnysna
There is genuinely no place on earth quite like Knysna. Thanks for taking the time to watch and hope we did your town proud!
I always take the family to CT from Durban and we also make the holiday more about the journey than the arrival in CT. It’s amazing the stretch between Durban and CT! Love these episodes guys.
Wow Wow Wow, Mark I am just Blown away by the actual Beauty of Knysna. I have been there many times but I have never actually seen this side of Knysna it is incredibly Beautiful & Absolutely Stunning. The last time we were there we stayed at the Knysna Quay's self catering Apartments. It's in the Waterfront opposite 34 South Resturant. I wish I knew the Mayor then as we could have seen these Stunning places, Mark you are definitely our tour guide from now on. This video says it all. It's Absolutely Stunning 👏👏❤ Proudly South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦😊
The content was super dope ...you outclassed yourself mate...cant wait for the Dullstroom one
Thanks so much brother. Really appreciate the feedback and support. Means so much to my small team and I. We learnt a lot from this Knysna video and will apply those lessons this weekend in Dullstroom.
Knysna it is!!! Thanks for the plug.
i immediately subscribed and i am looking at flights and accommodation right after this
Knysna is such a beautiful place. Sublime video editing too Mark!
That looks super lekker. Great work Mark.
Su, thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video and comment. We are blown away that the video is almost on 40,000 views!

Elize, you are in for such a treat! Hope you have the best time in Knysna when you get there 🇿🇦❤️
U got a background in Film hey.This is very beautiful
This is wonderful Mark ! Well done. We are big road-trippers and this has just made me want to go back to Knysna. We travel with our two dogs, so for me it would be great to see a few pet-friendly places included. Look forward to your next video. xx
Louise, thank you for taking the time to watch this video and comment. Means the world to us. Also, your idea of showcasing pet-friendly places is a must. Thank you for the feedback!
What incredible and original content! Love it! Well done guys!!!
Fun and totally entertaining. Would love to see some credits and give the creative team some props for their work. Cinematography and edit are fire.
Tyron, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We are collectively the creative team known as Like a Tourist and all the content was produced in-house. But we do share your sentiment about giving props. Thanks for the feedback!
Wow! Lying in bed on this Easter overcast fresh Sunday watching this amazing clip.. Been living in Plett for passed 25yrs, so I am very fortunate.. However one gets so caught up in your every day routine, we sometimes forget the Majestic beauty on our doorstep. I recently spent a day in Knysna doing a fun photo shoot with my son.. Did not get to Thesen Island though. After watching this captivating video, KLM you rock lol.. I can't wait for my next trip 😅.. Thank u Mark, The Mayor & team.. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.. wish there was more..Keep up the good work 👏 👍and wishing you all a Blessed & Happy Easter .. Di
Hi Di! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Means the world to us!
Great video and very insightful 🎉
Left gauteng in 2019 to move to cpt. Been working and then covid. Can't wait to hit the road with the family and explore this amazing province. Thank you for this awesome video insert
Alex, I also can’t wait for you to hit the road with your family and explore you’re new province. You live in one of the most beautiful provinces in the world ❤️ Thanks for taking the time to watch our video 🇿🇦
Many thanks keep on been awesome and God bless you brother
Wonderful footage🙌🏼✨
Michael, thank you so much. Really appreciate that you would take the time to watch the video and comment. Hope we did Knysna proud in this first round and can't wait to come back for a second edition. We really were just scratching the surface of things to do that side of the world!
The Mayor is quite nice on the eyes 😜
He can stay... For now! Haha! Thanks for watching, Trav. Genuinely appreciate the support!
Ek stem saam.
Thank you for the video mate. My wife and I had the most incredible experience in Knysna based on your recommendation. Keep going with the content. You are doing a great job.

Lethukutula, what a beautiful comment to wake up to. So glad you liked the video and that we got to give you a “whole experience” ❤️
What a breathtaking place 🤙🏽
Been to Knysna once and honestly this video makes me want to go again to experience the parts I didn't 🙌🏾
Kamo, when I read comments like yours, my heart melts. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Our whole goal was to inspire people to feel patriotic about South Africa and then visit other spots more!
@@likeatourist keep the vlogs coming. They aren't in vain 🤞🏾🤞🏾
Hoping to get to spend more time there going forward as my brother has just retired to Leisure Isle 🎉
Beautiful vid! ❤
I smiled from start to finish. And then I just wanted this year to finish so I can... go on holiday in the Garden Route! I'm coming for you, Bramon and East Head Cafe and lagoon and baked goods.
Tiffany, you are an absolute legend and we wouldn't have been able to launch this video so elegantly without you!
Great video. Thank you for the effort. 🤩
Thanks MV! I equally appreciate that you took the time to watch and comment. Means so much to my small team and I, and it helps us to know we’re on the right track 🇿🇦❤️

Debora, thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! Glad you enjoyed it and hoping to get a few more videos out before the end of the year!
Any chance that Langebaan is on your radar?
Definitely on the cards. It’s more just a case of when and not if.
Knysna is also the home of Innovative Generation Tennis Academy.
Long live the Innovative Generation Tennis Academy!
