Detailed Reviews
Paradise Found was a wonderful place to stay. This place has one of the best views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. Every room has a patio where you can sit and enjoy the view. Johan and Dirkie were fantastic hosts and very personable. The breakfasts were delicious with homemade goods included ! We felt very safe at this location and in spite of load shedding we had power and hot water to shower.
I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a B&B in Knysna to stay here.

Johan and Deckie are great hosts and made us very welcome. We were upgraded to the apartment which was very comfortable with views over the bay which the patio and bedroom also had. A cold Breakfast was served in the apartment each morning which entailed climbing quite steep stairs. We were happy avoiding the usual fry up! Johan had no difficulty carrying our bulky suitcases up and down
the stairs. If in Knysna again we would definitely stay here.

I booked a one bedroom apartment at Paradise Found for a long stay as I was waiting for my apartment. The views are spectacular. Panoramic vistas over the lagoon with clear views of the Heads. The one bedroom apartment is well proportioned for a couple and thoughtfully kitted out. Johan and his team are friendly and very helpful without being intrusive. I loved my stay and highly recommend this gem to you! Thank you Johan.

A stunning, comfortable, quiet spot for the best views and sleep ever! Johan and Dirkie are fantastic hosts, both welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. From the moment we booked Johan was very communicative, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The breakfasts were fantastic, and the rooms are spacious, with large windows letting in lots of light. Every morning the room and bathroom were cleaned, and little things like a little fold on the toilet paper or restocking the water wasn’t unnoticed! With a 200 degree view of the Knysna lagoon and surrounding mountainside, there’s no other place I’d rather stay. Thank you Johan and Dirkie!

We were granted a complimentary room upgrade, mindful of my need for a work-centric space, balancing both my wife's comfort and my client interactions. Imagine breakfasts where flavors burst with the sunrise, all enjoyed from a vantage point that offers spellbinding views, making minutes melt away. This sanctuary, underscored by the tranquil chorus of birds, mirrors the privacy of an island retreat. Throughout, the unparalleled attention, outstanding service, and warm hospitality of our hosts, Johan and Dirkie, truly stand out!!

The whole place was spotlessly clean & well furnished inside, with comfortable seating on the patio. The views were magnificent and being able to enjoy the lovely continental breakfast at the table outside felt like a real luxury. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom was spacious with a fabulous shower and our kitchen had everything you could need. Johan & Dirkie were amazing hosts; first class service & real attention to detail. We can't wait to come back. This was indeed Paradise Found!

This place is such a great find. I don't think any other view would have be better. The balcony has a great view, the living room has a great view and the actual bedroom also has a full great view. It's 5-10mins from the restaurants, shops and main attractions at Kynsna. Johan (the owner) was very accommodating and quick and patient to reply to any queries. We will definitely stay here again!

The location overlooking Knysna is first rate. The car is securely parked on site. The breakfst was outstanding with among other things a fresh fruit salad and boiled eggs every morning.The hosts were most helpful and congenial. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible stay at Johan und Dirkie's B&B. The views on Knysna's Lagune from our apartment were breathtaking. One of the highlights of our stay were the breakfasts each morning with our hosts, where we not only learned more about the country, but also received tons of tips for things to do. The apartment had everything we needed. The location of the Knysna/this B&B made it the perfect spot to explore the entire region, so we recommend staying a few days as there's much to do.

Stayed in the top apartment rather than the guesthouse and we loved it. Johan is a lovely host and insisted on carrying our suitcases up the wooden stairs. The views of the lagoon are exceptional even when the weather isn’t great. The accommodation is comfortable albeit some of it is designed for taller people. The apartments don’t include breakfast but Johan seemed happy to provide a lovely breakfast to your room at an additional, reasonable cost. I’m sure if you came here in summer it would be amazing
