Knysna ANGLING and Diving Club

Knysna ANGLING and Diving Club is a waterfront club, bar and restaurant at 1 Remembrance Ave in Knysna Central. The venue brings together angling, deep-sea fishing and diving activities with a social club environment overlooking the Knysna Lagoon. Its setting gives the restaurant and function spaces a strong connection to the water, making it relevant to both boating enthusiasts and visitors looking for a relaxed gathering place.

The club’s character is community-focused. Membership connects anglers and divers with club activities, competitions and social events, while the venue also accommodates families and members who take part in a broader programme of recreation. Activities associated with the club include lightweight tackle fishing, deep-sea fishing, diving, pool, darts and junior events. The schedule and participation arrangements are managed through the club.

Food and drinks are served in a casual club setting. The bar has a traditional character, and the restaurant offers a range of menu choices rather than a narrowly defined dining style. Braai facilities add another way for groups and members to gather, with the lagoon setting providing the backdrop. The venue suits informal meals, social occasions and club-related get-togethers more than formal fine dining.

Boating facilities form an important part of the venue. The club has a maintained slipway, a jetty with room for four boats and a washing bay with fresh water for rinsing boats and motors. These facilities support the club’s fishing and diving focus and make the venue practical for members involved in water-based activities.

Function facilities are available for weddings, engagements, corporate events, birthday celebrations and other gatherings. The function areas combine the club atmosphere, restaurant and bar service with views across the lagoon. Public use is available under the venue’s conditions, so arrangements for private events are best confirmed directly with the club.

For visitors exploring the Garden Route, the venue offers a distinctly local combination of angling culture, waterfront dining, club recreation and event space. It is suited to anglers, divers, boating groups, families, club members and organisers seeking a relaxed setting connected to Knysna’s lagoon.
