Exceptional with Exceptional Hosts
Posted 29 Nov 2022 on HotelsAmazing, 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.

Great stay
Posted 28 Feb 2020 on HotelsGreat 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!

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.
