LivPadel in Knysna: Where Scenic Getaways Meet South Africa’s Fastest-Growing Sport

If you’re chasing the perfect winter escape, look no further than LivPadel at Knysna Hollow Country Estate. Just off the lush Garden Route, this isn’t your average coastal retreat—it’s a high-energy, community-driven Padel hub where locals and tourists mix it up on the court. And when we say mix it up, we mean it. Regulars include cricket legends Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs, who often show up for casual rallies and social games. You might walk off the court with a selfie and a few pro tips.

The Club with the Vibe: LivPadel at Knysna Hollow

Launched in partnership with LivPadel, this is Knysna’s first dedicated Padel facility, and it’s raised the bar high. Two world-class, floodlit courts are set within the tranquil, tree-lined Knysna Hollow Country Estate. Whether you’re an overnight guest or just popping in for a match, the courts are open to all—no gatekeeping here.

Need gear? No problem. Racket rentals, balls, and even padel accessories are available from the on-site pro shop. After a sweat session, grab a cold one or a smoothie from the Social Eatery and cool down. Backup power and floodlights keep the game going, day or night.

Oyster Festival: The Knysna Oyster Fest LivPadel Showdown

Time your trip right, and you’ll land in the middle of the Knysna Oyster Festival, running from July 4–13, 2025. This iconic event draws thousands to the coast for marathons, cycling races, seafood feasts—and yes, Padel tournaments hosted by LivPadel.

This is your chance to be part of the action. Whether you’re swinging for the finals or cheering courtside with an oyster in hand, the vibe is electric. Players of all levels are welcome, and the competition is real but friendly—exactly how Padel Ball was meant to be played.

More Than Just a Match

Padel Ball is a social sport and nowhere is that truer than in Knysna. At LivPadel, you’re not just booking a court—you’re stepping into a lively scene. Friday night mixers, pop-up clinics, and impromptu challenges happen often. And with celebs like Stubbs and de Kock in the rotation, there’s always someone to up your game.

Between matches, explore everything Knysna offers—forest hikes, lagoon cruises, beach walks, and, of course, the freshest oysters in the country. This is a padel getaway where the lifestyle is as rich as the rallies.
