Amazing, Marilyn & Martin are the perfect hosts, nothing too much trouble from inviting us to join them for dinner and booking lunch for us the next day. Villa Paradisa is of the highest standard throughout its exceptionally decorated. If I could give 10* II would.

I proprietari e il personale sono super gentili e disponibili. La stanza spaziosa, luminosa, con ampie vetrate e con una splendida vista su tutta la baia e città. Il letto grande e comodissimo, bagno ampio e tutto pulito e in ordine. Tutto curato in ogni dettaglio. La colazione sublime, preparato dal proprietario, ogni giorno diverso. Inoltre abbiamo ricevuto consigli su cosa visitare, ristoranti ecc. Ci siamo trovati benissimo.

Great views over Knysna! Friendly hosts who helped with any questions and queries we had. Secure parking available in a gated car park. Driving is required to get to the waterfront but taxis are available at a reasonable price.

Loved the service and location. Owners went out of their way to assist us. Carpets, cushions, hot tub all need updating. Office in middle of house unsightly. All easy fixes.

Marilyn was a fabulous hostess and Martin was a wonderful cook. The room was larger than we expected with flower petals on the bed...nice touch! The view was amazing!! We plan to stay there again if we make it back to that area.

Accommodation and views were fantastic and a great location. Breakfast with the personal touch was very nice indeed. Martin is quite a cook! The TV channels and WiFi in the room were a bit unreliable and it was disappointing that the hot tub wasn't available until the day we left considering it was in the advertisement. Overall a very nice place, thanks for having us and for your fantastic tips!

Fantastisk villa där ägarparet också bor. Makalös utsikt och troligen världens bästa äggfrukostar som ägaren tillagar.

In a stunning position in the hills overlooking the Knysna lagoon, Villa Paradisa is the perfect choice for seeing all that this area has to offer. Very spacious, comfortable and beautifully appointed with a fabulous breakfast (cooked by Martin the owner) served overlooking the town and lagoon - a great start to any day! The owners go out of their way to give their guests a good time. Highly recommended.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und man hat uns alles sehr gut erklärt und gezeigt. Die Besitzerin hat und im Voraus kontaktiert und für uns an beide Abende in wirklich excellenten Restaurants einen Tisch reservieren lassen. Das Guesthouse bietet alles was man sich wünscht. Das beste am Guesthouse ist der augezeichnete Service und die wunderbare Aussicht über die Lagune von Knysna! Diese kann man auch direkt vom herrlichen Pool geniessen!
