Accommodation high up on the mountain overlooking the Knysna lagoon.

The accommodation was different unlike anything else out there. It felt like living in a retreat high up on the mountain where you could enjoy peace and tranquility. The owners thought of everything when designing this place as all your needs and more were met.

Paradise Private 's response

Hi Wayne, thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. We do appreciate it. It was great meeting and hosting you both and you are most welcome to visit us again. Warm regards, Ellie & Francois.

Gemaklik, snoesig, skoon en waarde vir geld!

Wat 'n heerlike ervaring! Dit voel werklik soos 'n klein 'paradise' aan die bopunt van 'n buurt. Die cottage is haarfyn en optimaal beplan en elke dingetjie het sy plek. Netjies, skoon en nogal luuks! Die huisie bevat ook alles wat jy moontlik sou nodig hê. Ons gasvrou het vir ons 'n bottel wyn, sjokolade, koeldrankies en melk in die cottage gelos. Absoluut waarde vir geld! Ons het in die Stone cottage gebly, maar sal beslis volgende keer bietjie ekstra betaal om die merkwaardige uitsig van een van die ander cottages te geniet.

Comfortable, cozy, clean and value for money!

What a wonderful experience! It truly feels like a little 'paradise' at the top of a neighborhood. The cottage is finely and optimally planned and every little thing has its place. Neat, clean and quite luxurious! The cottage also contains everything you could possibly need. Our hostess left us a bottle of wine, chocolate, soft drinks and milk in the cottage. Absolutely value for money! We stayed in the Stone cottage, but will definitely pay a little extra next time to enjoy the remarkable view from one of the other cottages.

Was my 1st stay and not my last, see you again end 2024.

Excellent location, close to the harbour. So much to view. Had a 5-hour day trip out mixing with locals. Went on a boat cruise. Let's be frank, that place rocks. A must-go for newlyweds. Family outings must be planned, but yes, I will see Knysna soon again. Where I stayed, the host was friendly with our 1st meetup. She gave us an overview of the place and of Knysna in general. The venue was 100% enjoyable, clean, well-positioned, and updated. Rating 10 out of 10.

Ellie and Francois make a dynamic couple and received us with a warm welcome. The views are exceptional and the service is excellent. They go above and beyond for the guests with quite a few extra perks that you don't receive elsewhere. We will definitely be staying there again.

A hidden gem.

Wow, what can I say, from the hosts Francois and Ellie, to the amazing studio, views and so so much more. I will be back. This was part of a weekend getaway for my hubby's 60th. He was blown away and the atmosphere created such a tranquil environment, I will recommend it to anyone wanting to get away to relax with the spectacular views of the lagoon all the way to Knysna Heads. An amazing stay and experience!

Bitter lekker. Baie mooi uitsigte en vriendelike en vinnige diens.

Oom Francois en tannie Ellie het ons hartlik verwelkom. Ek sal Paradise Private vir enige nuwe of ou getroude paartjie aanbeveel. Die uitsig is bitter mooi en as jy nie 'n uitsig van die Knysna-koppe het nie, is daar 'n aparte deck wat dan vir jou die beeldskone uitsig bied.

Bitterly delicious. Very nice views and friendly and fast service.

Uncle Francois and Aunt Ellie welcomed us warmly. I would recommend Paradise Private to any new or old married couple. The view is extremely beautiful and if you don't have a view of the Knysna Heads, there is a separate deck that offers you the picture-perfect view.

Asemrowende uitsig, privaat. Fantastiese gasheer en gasvrou.

Die studio hoog geleë en bied asemrowende uitsig. Alles van hierdie verblyf oortref jou hoogste verwagtinge. Dis privaat en studio is baie stylvol uitgelê, foto's gee nie genoeg krediet aan die detail nie. Ellie en Francois is fantasiese gasvrou en gasheer en omgee-mense. Vir seker goeie waarde vir geld. Kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

Unieke verblyf-ervaring met 'n pragtige uitsig!

Ons het heerlik gekuier, dis 'n goed ingerigte, luukse eenheid, uniek as 'n soliede houthuis. Ellie en Francois het aan als gedink! Tot in die fynste detail. Ons was in die kleinste eenheid, aangesien alle ander eenhede bespreek was. Ons sou 'n groter eenheid verkies het, aangesien ons vir 5 dae gebly het. Die bed in die eenheid was redelik klein, ons sou 'n gemakliker bed verkies het. Ook moontlik 'n skoonmaak van die eenheid halfpad deur die verblyf. Verder was als tip top en enige versoeke is dadelik mee gehelp. Ons sal 'n besoek aan die eiendom beslis aanbeveel vir 'n spesiale en unieke verblyfervaring.

Unique accommodation experience with a beautiful view!

We had a great time, it's a well appointed, luxurious unit, unique as a solid log house. Ellie and Francois thought of everything! Down to the finest detail. We were in the smallest unit as all other units were booked. We would have preferred a larger unit as we stayed for 5 days. The bed in the unit was quite small, we would have preferred a more comfortable bed. Also possible a cleaning of the unit halfway through the stay. Furthermore, als was tip top and any requests were helped with immediately. We would definitely recommend a visit to the property for a special and unique stay experience.

Paradise Private 's response

Beste Lidia & Kobus

Baie dankie vir die mooi terugvoering. Julle was baie aangename gaste en dit was lekker om julle by ons te he.

Jammer dat die eenheid nie gediens was halfpad deur jul verblyf nie. Dit is een van ons vasgestelde Covid 19 protokolle om nie 'n gas se eenheid binne te gaan tydens sy/haar verblyf nie, tensy dit spesifiek versoek word deur die gas. Op hierdie manier hoef gaste nie bekommerd te wees daaroor dat 'n skoonmaker hul spasie sal binnekom nie.

Ons het wel begrip dat 'n dubbelbed soms knap kan wees vir 2 mense, juis daarom dat ons die bed grootte as dubbelbed gestipuleer het in ons beskrywing.

Ons sien daarna uit om julle weer te verwelkom, volgende keer in een van ons groter eenhede met die seemeer uitsigte.

Vriendelike groete
Ellie & Francois

Fantasties!

Ons tyd by Paradise Private was eenvoudig fantasies! Francois en Ellie het ons vriendelik ontvang en onmiddellik baie welkom laat voel. Die eenheid en fasiliteite is ongelooflik mooi, perfek, modern, uniek, netjies en skoon. Hulle het peusel happies, koffie, tee en melk beskikbaar gehad in die eenheid. Daar was ook voorsiening gemaak van sonkrag lampe, ligte en kerse vir beurtkrag. Ons het baie lekker gebly, die hele perseel/huis is 'n absolute droom met sy ontwerp, tuine, dekor, ligging en uitsig oor die lagoon en koppe. Ons kom vir seker weer!

We had a great stay, the whole premises/house is an absolute dream with its design, gardens, decor, location and views of the lagoon and heads. We'll be back for sure!

Fantastiese uitsig, heerlike vakansie!

Die eenheid was baie goed ingerig, super netjies en die uitsig oor die Knysna-lagoon was fantasties! Ellie en Francois, die eienaars, was baie behulpsaam, vriendelik en toeganklik - ingestel daarop om die ervaring vir ons so spesiaal as moontlik te maak. Die opset is beslis iets anders as die gewone, dit het gevoel asof ons iewers oorsee vakansie hou! Dit was 'n vakansie wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie.

Meer as waarvoor ons kon hoop.

Ek en my vrou was oor April-paasnaweek 2019 vir die eerste keer Knysna toe en ons was by Paradise Private gewees. Ons was heeltemal weggeblaas toe ons ons kamer gesien het. Die uitsig oor Knysna is sekerlik een van die beste wat daar is en geen foto kan genoeg getuig vir dit nie, dit moet self beleef word. Die kamer en hele gebou is van die mooiste hout bymekaar gesit en gee 'n ongelooflike rustigheid af wat jou so deel van die natuur laat voel met 'n zen wat oor jou val tussen die mooiste bonsai-uitstallings om jou. Verder is alles tegnologiese toerusting wat jy sou nodig hê tot jou beskikking so die beste van altwee wêrelde! Ellie en Francois is die beste gashere wat ons nog gehad het op vakansie, vriendelik en warm mense wat uit hul pad gaan om seker te maak jy is op jou gemak, ons wil net baie dankie sê vir 'n onvergeetlike vakansie wat net soveel beter gemaak was deur Paradise Private, ek sal dit vir enigiemand voorstel wat in mooiste Knysna kom kuier.

More than we could have hoped for.

My wife and I went to Knysna for the first time over the April Easter weekend 2019 and we stayed at Paradise Private. We were completely blown away when we saw our room. The view over Knysna is surely one of the best there is and no photo can testify to that, it has to be experienced for yourself. The room and entire building is made of the most beautiful wood and gives off an incredible tranquility that makes you feel so part of nature with a zen that falls over you among the most beautiful bonsai displays around you. Furthermore, all the technological equipment you would need is at your disposal so the best of both worlds! Ellie and Francois are the best hosts we have ever had on holiday, friendly and warm people who go out of their way to make sure you are at ease, we just want to say thank you for an unforgettable holiday that just made it that much better was by Paradise Private, I would suggest it to anyone visiting beautiful Knysna.

Werklikwaar iets besonders!

Hierdie plek is werklik anders as enige van die ander woonplekke. Heeltemal afgesny van die geraas en gejaag in 'n netjiese groen zen-tuin en huisie wat nog ene hout ruik, waar jy die dorp van bo af kan dophou. Ons het met die stadsliggies gaan slaap en met die oggendson wakker geword. Ons wou nie oppak op die laaste dag nie. Die eienaars was so verwelkomend, en het selfs die res van my gesin die volgende dag deur die plek geneem, net omdat hul ook wou sien hoe dit lyk. Want dit is iets om oor te brag. Beslis 'n plek om te besoek/te bly tydens 'n Knysna-vakansie!

Truly something special!

This place is truly unlike any of the other residences. Completely cut off from the noise and hustle and bustle in a neat green zen garden and little house that still smells of wood, where you can watch the town from above. We went to sleep with the city lights and woke up with the morning sun. We didn't want to pack up on the last day. The owners were so welcoming, and even took the rest of my family around the place the next day, just because they wanted to see what it looked like too. Because it is something to convey. Definitely a place to visit/stay on a Knysna holiday!

Dit is 'n wonderlike plek om vakansie te hou, en Ellie en Francois het dit alles die moeite werd gemaak.

Ellie en Francois was wonderlike gashere en het ons baie welkom laat voel, ek sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat 'n wegbreekkans benodig.

Pragtige nuwe verblyf met die nodige "comforts" in die hart van Knysna.

Ontspannend en pragtige uitsig.

Ellie en Francois is vriendelik en gasvry en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Hulle het seker gemaak ons het alles wat ons nodig kon hê. Hulle het ook vir ons goeie raad gegee oor staproetes en restaurante in die area. Die eenheid is iets besonders. Dit is goed toegerus, skoon en netjies en het die pragtigste uitsig. Dit was perfek vir ons Knysna wegbreek en ons het heerlik gebly.

Relaxing and beautiful view.

Ellie and Francois are friendly and hospitable and made us feel very welcome. They made sure we had everything we could need. They also gave us great advice on hiking trails and restaurants in the area. The unit is something special. It is well equipped, clean and tidy and has the most beautiful view. It was perfect for our Knysna getaway and we had a lovely stay.

Ongelooflike uitsig, gerieflik, netjies rustig en privaat.

Francois en Ellie is ongelooflik, met ons aankoms was alles perfek, sjampanje asook lekkernye en 'n kaartjie van gelukwense met ons huweliksherdenking. Die studio is lekker privaat en ja die uitsig sal ek beslis nooit vergeet sal nie. Paradise Private aanbevole.
