Unbeatable view of the lagoon!

Johan was an amazing host during our stay here and the views were unbeatable! As other reviews mentioned, Johan goes above and beyond to ensure his guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay.

Great stay overlooking Knysna Heads

Johan is a great host. Accommodation is as advertised with fantastic view over Knysna and the Heads. Nice touches such as topped up filtered water and milk daily and arranging optional restaurant bookings for first few evenings to ensure we had good dining options which we used. Unit also cleaned daily.

The name says it all!

Having returned after many years, we found this Paradise in perfect shape. The new hosts Johan and Dirkie really provide for a heavenly stay in their wonderful place with a stunning view over the Knysna Lagoon. We enjoyed every moment and profited from our host's suggestions for places to go, where to have dinner, etc. We hope it won't take so many years to be back.

Excelente hospedagem em Knysna, com uma vista linda para a lagoa. O quarto é espaçoso e possui uma cozinha caso queira fazer sua própria refeição. Fomos muito bem recepcionados. Recomendamos ficar alguns dias nesta cidade linda e se possível na Paradise Found.
