Knysna is a sub district office under the George main seat, and it holds the postal address for the Plettenberg Bay periodical court as well as its own.
Official contact channels
- Knysna Magistrates Court: 044 382 1141
- George Magistrate Court, the main seat: 044 802 5800
Services and responsibilities
Because Plettenberg Bay is a periodical court with no postal address of its own, the departmental record for it gives its postal address simply as See Knysna. Filing and office work for a Plettenberg Bay matter is therefore done at Knysna.
Office and address information
The court is at 11 Main Street, Knysna, 6570, with post to Private Bag X014 at the same code. That private bag serves both Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.
Applications and escalation
Anything requiring a counter rather than a court sitting goes to Knysna. Matters administered at district level go to George. Confirm which of the three the task belongs to before travelling, since the three towns are spread along 60 kilometres of the N2.
