A great place to stay in Knysna
Hosts (family Conyers) are very hospitable and friendly and we enjoyed our stay at this great place and our children also very much liked the swimming pool. Highly recommendable.

Paradise
Of the four places we booked on the garden route this was undoubtedly the most luxurious. After a romantic lunchtime cruise by paddleboat over the lagoon we recovered from an excess of sauvignon blanc by the pool. Georgeous gardens, sweet birdsong from fork-tailed drongos and sunbirds, and, of course, the charming host and family made it an unforgettable stay.

Paradise
1
Includes:
B & B
The Paradise suite certainly lives up to it's name and the interior is luxuriously appointed with original artwork and magnificently crafted furniture. The room occupies an entire third floor and has out of this world views, is wonderfully spacious and has a large king size sleigh bed as it's focal point. The large en suite bathroom has a glass walk in shower and over sized elevated bath and shares the same breathtaking view. Paradise leads out onto a private juliet balcony with views forever where you can while away the time enjoying an evening sundowner while the sun slips behind the distant rolling hills.
The room is a romantic delight, ideal for honeymooners and no expense has been spared in creating a private haven of irresistible luxury and sumptuous comfort. You will awake to sonorous bird calls or soft monkey chatter as the mist gently rises from the lagoon below.
Paradise was recently rated the “best room in Knysna” by the Frommer's South Africa Travel Guide.
