04 Dec 2025 - Important Notice - Knysna is now in a water crisis. - Dear Valued Guests and Visitors A very warm welcome to Tonquani. We are delighted to have you stay with us. Knysna is currently experiencing severe drought conditions and a period of low rainfall, which has put significant pressure on our local water resources - The municipality has implemented strict water restrictions for the next 6 weeks, at least until mid-January 2026. In order to improve our sustainability we have low-flow shower heads and taps and dual-flush toilets; we have water-wise landscaping using indigenous plants and rainwater harvesting for our gardens and swimming pool.. and we address any leaks or pipe bursts to prevent extra ordinary water loss. - You can help us conserve water: - Take shorter showers: Aim for a shower of five minutes or less. Every minute saved makes a difference. - Turn off taps: Please turn off the tap while soaping your hands, shaving, or brushing your teeth. - Participate in our reuse program: If you wish to reuse your towels, please hang them up. Towels left on the shower floor will be replaced. - Bed linen will be changed every third day unless you request otherwise. - Avoid unnecessary flushing: Dispose of tissues and other small waste in the bin rather than flushing the toilet unnecessarily. - If you notice any dripping taps, running toilets, or other leaks, please report them to us immediately. Together, Every Drop Counts Your cooperation helps us ensure a sustainable future for our community and environment, while still allowing you to enjoy all that Knysna has to offer. The situation requires that every one of us acts responsibly. In case of water-shedding, we have added a 10,000L emergency tank to cover days when the municipality declares no water. (We have another 8,500L storage capacity for rain water.) Thank you for your understanding and support in these efforts. We wish you a wonderful stay. Sincerely The Team at Tonquani-Knysna
