Knysna Oyster Festival

Knysna Mall Mercedes-Benz Display

You heard it here first! WOW !! Do yourselves a favour and visit the Knysna Mall over the Oyster Festival. Not only is there eye-candy there for those of you who appreciate beautiful cars, but you can also enter our competition and maybe win a stunning four-night breakway on a houseboat with oysters and sparkling wine!

Stanmar Motors of George has gotten together with Lightleys to put on a show of note – a brand new SLS Gullwing coupe, a (matt black) SL coupe, and a convertible white E-Class, among others

The show’s going to be the talk of the town during the festival!

Daytrips on the Knysna lagoon

Well, we’re all excited here – the annual Oyster Festival is days away: it starts on Friday!

Knysna is all about fun, oysters, AND houseboating. (Truly, we are not blowing our own trumpets – Lightleys is part of South African holiday folklore. Just about everyone knows someone who had their honeymoon here, or came here as a kiddie…)

Now, as a special Oyster Festival treat, Lightleys is offering a 10% discount on houseboat daytrips on the gorgeous Knysna lagoon.

From only R140 to R360 per person per day you can take a party of up to eight people out on the water – and we’ll even lay on oysters and sparkling wine for you!

Knysna Fishing

Calling all fishermen ! You really should bring your tackle to Knysna this weekend – we’ve had rain and the weather is ‘onstuimig’ – which, as the boffs among you know, means that the fishing is going to be good.

The area is teeming with especially Steenbras, Grunteras and Leeries at the moment, and with the sea cold, many of them will be heading into the lagoon and warmer water.

Sand prawns, pink prawns and especially bloodworm will get your line twitching.

Now, here’s an enterprising fellow:

That’s a ‘boer maak n plan’ sort of thing, isn’t it? He wanted to get his hook WAY OUT THEEEERE…..and his plan worked. Obviously a serious fisherman!

And on that note, you all have yourselves a great week!
