A memorable stay!

The self-catering apartment at Paradise Found is well-equipped with a lovely balcony. It offers an amazing view of Knysna and the lagoon. We had a very comfortable two-night stay at the place. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend it.

Fantastiese plek.

Dis 'n besonderse plek en die eienaars is fantastiese mense, verskriklik behulpsaam en gaan uit hul pad om 'n mens te akkomodeer. Pragtige uitsig oor Knysna, kon nie vir beter vra nie. Sal weer daar gaan bly.

Uitstekende ligging vir uitsig oor die meer en koppe.

Die plekkie was netjies en goed toegerus met alles wat ons nodig had. Johan en Dirkie het ons vriendelik ontvang en met heerlike ontbyt bedien. Die boonste kamer bied 'n wonderlike uitsig oor die meer en omgewing - wees net gereed vir 'n bietjie oefening met die steil trappe op!

Excellent location for views of the lake and heads.

The place was neat and well equipped with everything we needed. Johan and Dirkie received us kindly and served us a delicious breakfast. The upper room offers a great view of the lake and surroundings - just be prepared for some exercise with the steep stairs up!

Johan en Dirkie sy vrou was ongelooflike gashere. Hulle het ons warm verwelkom en ekstra moeite gedoen om ons verblyf so lekker as moontlik te maak.

Die uitsig is asemrowend. Kamer was aan die klein kant en die beddegoed kan verbeter.

Baie dankie aan Johan en Dirkie vir die liefdevolle tyd wat ek en my vrou daar kon deurbring.

Ons was met ope arms vol liefde ontvang. Verskriklik lekker gebly. Die vriendelikheid van die eienaars is tops. Kort afstand van omtrent alles in Knysna. Sal definitief aanbeveel aan ander. Sal weer daar oorbly indien in Knysna. Johan dankie vir die vriendelikheid en lekker geselsies. Julle maak regtig moeite om julle gaste te leer ken. Ons kom definitief weer.

Will stay there again if in Knysna. Johan, thank you for the kindness and nice chats. You really make an effort to get to know your guests. We will definitely come again.

Spontaan, avontuurlustig, moeite werd.

Daar is so baie waarvan ek julle kan vertel en dit is moeilik om alles in een kort paragraaf te skryf. Ek kan julle wel waarborg dat dit die moeite werd is. Ons is met groot glimlagte gegroet en ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. Paradise Found is ’n ware paradys wat ek aan almal sal aanbeveel.

Knysna op sy beste.

Die naam Paradise Found is goed gekies, want hierdie gastehuis in inderdaad 'n juweel: die lieflike uitsig, die vriendelike ontvangs, gerieflike bed, goeie linne, lekker ontbyt bedien op die privaat balkon, dit alles het bygedra tot 'n voortreflike verblyf.

Puik!

Ons het ons verblyf terdeë geniet by Paradise Found. Die foto's op hul webblad is 100% verteenwoordigend van wat jy kry. Die suite is baie goed toegerus met als wat jy mag nodig kry. Sal nie huiwer om die plekkie aan te beveel nie. Sal teruggaan soontoe as ons weer die geleentheid kry om Knysna te besoek. Die eienaars, Johan en Dirkie, is ongelooflik gasvry en vriendelik. Wou nie huis toe gaan nie.

Didn't want to go home.

Wonderlike wittebrood!

Ons het 'n fantastiese week by Paradise Found deurgebring vir ons wittebrood van 24 Nov tot 29 Nov 2014. Die uitsig het behoorlik ons asem weggeslaan! Ons het die rustigheid van die omgewing baie geniet. Dit was baie lekker om elke oggend ontbyt op die stoep met die stunning uitsig te geniet. Die verblyf was naby alle plekke in Knysna veral die waterfront. Baie dankie, ons sal altyd goeie herinneringe hê van ons wittebrood by Paradise Found.

Wonderful honeymoon!

We spent a fantastic week at Paradise Found for our honeymoon from 24 Nov to 29 Nov 2014. The view really took our breath away! We really enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings. It was very nice to enjoy breakfast every morning on the stoep with the stunning view. The accommodation was close to all places in Knysna especially the waterfront. Thank you so much, we will always have fond memories of our honeymoon at Paradise Found.
