The average asking rent across Knysna's 22 suburbs is R18 500 a month (Nov 2026), flat since March 2026. Half of the 99 live listings ask between R11 500 and R25 000; a typical 2-bed is R13 500 and a 3-bed R23 702. That is R2 500 above the Western Cape median. Homes take about 31 days to let, and 1 in 7 has cut its asking price since listing.
Like-for-like: the line moves only when asking rents move, not when the mix of what is listed changes.
