What a shame for a beautiful town. We have competed in the Simola Hill Climb for the past 6 years and always spend 10 days in this beautiful town. BUT it start last year already that our group was treated like **** because my fully trained Pug doggie, weight 9 kg, and a service dog fully trained accompanied us. this year it was even worse. we wine and dine a lot and spend between R5K to R7K normally at any given restaurant, but unfortunately, my doggy was not welcome NO WHERE IN KNYSNA. And everyone stated that this is a political thing. Just 37km away in Plettenberg Bay, our company and my doggy were more than welcome, not once, not twice, but the whole time. they even allow us to eat in most restaurants. now my question is ... how can 2 towns, only 37 kilometers apart be so different with their rules and regulations? Is Knysna so wealthy that they don't need money spend in their town? or is Plett just so far in front of Knysna to realize that money from travelers is a welcome income for them? i have the greatest experience in Plett and the worst ever "you are not welcome experience" in Knysna. I'm so disappointed in Knysna and can't believe the overall treatment we received. Knysna will never see me again. i will once again, next year participate in the Simola Hill Climb, but will definitely book my accommodation in the friendly town of Plettenberg Bay. I don't care if it is the DA or the EFF, all I can say is that Knysna is the most unpleasant town in our country to visit. And I will make sure that my bad experience, not only this year but also the previous year will be heard all over social media. CAREN COMBRINK
