Buffelsbaai (also Buffels Bay and Buffalo Bay) is a small seaside village 20 kilometres [2] from Knysna in the Garden Route District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa.

The village is named after Buffelsbaai which stretches east of the village.

It is a popular vacation destination with a small waterfront with stores.

The cargo ship Kiani Satu, travelling from Hong Kong to Ghana with a shipment of rice, ran aground and sank off the coast of the town in August 2013.

Leaked oil from the vessel threatened the nearby Goukamma Nature Reserve; 217 birds were cleaned by SANCCOB after the spill.
