Guest Reviews
- Inessa (10/5): Top! - Top Lage! Johan hat immer ein Rat gegeben . Kann nicht sagen
- Philippa (9/5): -
- A (10/5): -
- CHRISTO (10/5): -
- Christian (8/5): -
- Suelen (10/5): Excelente! - Hospitalidade, atenção com seus clientes, quarto com vista incrível, localização muito boa.
Amamos tudo.
Café da manhã excelente também!
Queremos voltar e com certeza ficaremos no mesmo local. Não houve nada que a gente não tivesse gostado.
- Luca (10/5): -
- Nils (9/5): -
- Felix (10/5): Idyllische Auszeit für die Seele - Die Aussicht ist einfach spektakulär und ein echtes Highlight des Aufenthalts. Der Gastgeber ist äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend, man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Zimmer ist sehr gemütlich und vermittelt ein echtes „Zuhause-weg-von-Zuhause“-Gefühl. Insgesamt ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt, den ich jederzeit weiterempfehlen würde. Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre, Mückenschutz an den Fenstern anzubringen, damit man problemlos bei offenem Fenster schlafen kann.
- Bernd (10/5): Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt mit traumhaftem Blick. - Perfekte Lage. Tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber Johan. Sehr interessante Gespräche mit ihm. Nix
- Thomas (10/5): Phantastische Aussicht. - Komfortables Zimmer mit phantastischer Aussicht auf die Lagune. Ausgesprochen freundlicher Gastgeber, die Gespräche mit ihm beim Frühstück haben viel Spaß gemacht. Immer wieder gerne! Nix.
- Jonathan (10/5): Very comfortable B&B with great views over Knysna Lagoon. - We had a really nice stay at Paradise Found. The views from the property across the Knysna lagoon are simply stunning. Very good communication with Johan about arrival time. The rooms are very comfortable. No aircon in ours, but a ceiling fan did the job keeping things cool. Breakfast on the patio was really nice, and cleverly managed so that wastage was minimised. In terms of value, this was the best accommodation of our holiday. And Johan also recommended an excellent farm stall to stop at on our long drive towards Cape Town on our departure day - Die Skeerhok Padstal just off the N2 near Heidelberg. We had an excellent lunch there. Nothing, all really comfortable and well organised, with a very friendly and helpful host.
- Silja (9/5): - Comfy beds, great views and a very friendly and helpful host. We will be back!
- joachim (9/5): Gerne wieder bei Johan. Er hat auch noch ein 2. neues Gästehaus - Die Unterkunft und die eigene Terrasse war super.
Am besten aber fanden wir Johan, er war unsere Nummer 1 unter den Gastgeber in Südafrika.
Wir hatten gute Gespräche, er ist sehr auskunftsfreudig und ökologisch orientiert.
Wir würden sofort wieder kommen. Eigentlich nichts 😋
- Ron (8/5): Fabulous view over Kynsna Bay - Big attraction is the fabulous view across Knysna Bay. Johan could not have been more friendly, or done more for us. Small patio facing the Bay. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Although the patio had a superb view, there was nowehere to sit and read comfortably outside. The seats provided were not comfortable for any length of time.
- Tracy (10/5): Would I go back - absolutely. - We stayed in the bottom room with a balcony. Lovely big bed and room a good size. Simply fabulous views, good secure car parking. Johan is a terrific host, he helped (and booked) us with restaurants and extremely knowledgeable on the area.
- Peter (9/5): - Johan is an excellent host, and we enjoyed our conversations with him at breakfast time. We had breakfast each morning on the outside decking, a wonderful way to start each day! Johan gave us lots of information about the local area and shared recommendations for places to visit and eat. Our room was clean and comfortable, and our outside decking had a stunning view over the lagoon. There is secure car parking on site and lots of Ubers around for going to restaurants in the evening. There was nothing to dislike.
- Bernd (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen - Toller Ausblick auf die Lagune, Johan der Gastgeber ist sehr symphahisch und hat uns viel über die Natur und die Südafrikaner erzählt. Man spürt dass er gerne Kontakt mit seinen Gästen hat. Nichts
- Darren (9/5): - Johan was a great host. The apartment is at the top of a large hill, but that is the price you pay for a stunning view. Nothing really
- Danielle (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyable, and Johan and Dirkie has fantastic senses of humour. Lovely people.👍 - Everything Nothing
- Rolf (8/5): Tolle Aussicht super Gastgeber - Lage ausgezeichnet Aussicht toll Frühstück sehr gut Zimmergrössezu klein -fast nur Bett -
- Catherine (10/5): - Paradise Found is a wonderful property with the most incredible views of the lagoon it was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional and it was great that we could have it on the balcony. Johan was a great host very interesting person made us all feel very welcome and we had lots of chats regarding the area and cycling. Thank you very much for a wonderful 2 days highly recommend. Nothing !!
- דודי ניניו (9/5): -
- suzanne (10/5): Lovely property in beautiful location - Great location in Knysna, with wonderful panoramic views from our private deck. Lovely room with very comfortable bed. Wonderful breakfast and a very welcoming and informative host. Nothing - great place stay!
- Jakub (10/5): Prawdziwy Raj :) - Niesamowite miejsce! Nasz najlepszy nocleg podczas kilku podróży po RPA. Świetna lokalizacja. Widok z tarasu jest fantastyczny. Johan to super gospodarz, bardzo sympatyczny i pomocny. Czuliśmy się jak podczas wizyty u rodziny :)
Dziękujemy bardzo i gorąco polecamy!
- Malcolm (10/5): Fabulous. 10/10 Would love to return soon - The room was excellent with the most amazing view. Very comfortable bed bedding and pillows. Nice balcony. Johan was so friendly and helped make an appointment to see a dentist urgently. His breakfast is amazing and very lovely sat on balcony overlooking the whole of Knysna. Johan’s knowledge of the area and restaurants was invaluable. Nothing was too much trouble. The garden is gorgeous with lots of birds. A real haven. Absolutely nothing!
- Anthonie (7/5): -
- Stefan (9/5): -
- Michael (10/5): Literally a place in paradise :)) - Awesome place set in the hills of Paradise. A short drive to the waterfront and Thesen island and obviously an amazing view over the Knysna lagoon. Also the host, Johan, was super helpful with restaurant reservations and suggestions of things to do. Would definitely stay again!
- Anne (10/5): Wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen. - Johan ist ein perfekter Gastgeber, der Ausblick ist ein Traum
- Vermaak (7/5): -
- Klaus (9/5): -
- Klaus (10/5): - Die Aussicht vom Balkon ist super und das Frühstück ist liebevoll hergerichtet.
Am besten haben uns die interessanten Gespräche mit Host Johan gefallen..
- Ferry-Jan (10/5): An amazing apartment with stunning views, beautiful nature, and a fantastic host. - Paradise Found in Knysna is truly a beautiful place. The apartment was excellent: spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the facilities you could wish for. Everything was spotless and clearly arranged with great care.
The view is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful nature. Waking up to this view every day never gets old. The area is peaceful and incredibly scenic.
Johan is a wonderful host. Friendly, welcoming, and always available when needed. You feel immediately at home here. A place I look back on with great pleasure and would highly recommend without any hesitation.
- Mingjun (10/5): 奈斯纳住宿的不二之选 - 绝佳的景观!可以看到泄湖全貌。房间干净整洁,早餐美味可口,主人热情周到。
- Gabriele (10/5): Absolut empfehlenswert! - Einfach traumhaft! Eine wunderschöne Aussicht über Knysna. Und ein sehr herzlicher Gastgeber der uns gute Tipps gegeben hat und auch interessant über afrikanische Geschichte erzählt hat. Nichts
- Silke (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit einem sehr netten Gastgeber - Tolle Unterkunft mit einem sehr netten Gastgeber. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse und vom Bett aus auf die Bucht ist unglaublich Nichts
- Stefan (10/5): - Super toller Frühstücksservice auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf die Bucht von Knysna.
- Sebastian (7/5): Nice and great stay, good rooms, close to main street - Great stay, nice view, great host. Located in a nice residential area, up at the end of the Knysna hills, overlooking the lagoon. A good choice, even if not exceptional. Rooms good and work well, yet a bit outdated and a relatively "normal" design compared to some of the stunning, African-style stays one gets at the Garden Route.
Also, noise of the main street in Knysna remains present - tradeoff vs the great location. Thelen island is more remote, yet also more quiet.
- Claudia (10/5): Eine Reise wert - Das Zimmer war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und der Ausblick war einfach traumhaft. Unser Gastgeber Johann hat uns mit den Besonderheiten und Traditionen Südafrikas vertraut gemacht uns uns so ein gewisses Verständnis für die Menschen hier geweckt.
- Laurent (10/5): - Tout est parfait , accueil, la.vue , le.petit déjeuner, la localisation Rien
- Carina (10/5): -
- Ivan (9/5): Perfect view - The view, the comfortable bed, the host Nothing !!
- Cerstin (10/5): Grandiose Aussicht - Die Aussicht von unserem Zimmer direkt aus dem Bett auf die Lagunen von Knysna war unglaublich schön!
Die Gastfreundschaft von Johan können wir-wie hier schon so oft beschrieben-nur bestätigen.
Wir konnten sogar früher einchecken.
Zur kleinen Waterfront im Ort sind wir zum Essen zu Fuß gelaufen und zurück mit dem Uber gefahren. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit hier!
- Thomas (10/5): Wir kommen bestimmt wieder! - Die Betreuung war hervorragend und der Ausblick über Knysna toll.
- Phyllis (10/5): Absolute aanrader - Prachtige locatie, ruime kamer met koffie en verse melk in de koelkast, heel proper. Netflix.
Gevarieerd vers ontbijt en interessante gesprekken met Johan. Alles was perfect!
- Ivonne (10/5): Hervorragende Unterkunft mit tollem Gastgeber - absolute Empfehlung 👍🏻🤗 - Unser Zimmer war sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und der Ausblick über die traumhafte Lagunenlandschaft von Knysna war atemberaubend schön.
Johan war ein sehr herzlicher Gastgeber, mit dem wir uns gerne unterhalten haben. Er hat uns viele tolle Tipps für unseren Besuch in Knysna gegeben. Es hat sich angefühlt wie ein Besuch bei Freunden. Am liebsten wären wir noch länger an diesem fantastischen Ort geblieben.
- Christopher (10/5): -

- Verena (10/5): Alles war perfekt. - Johan ist so ein toller, herzlicher Gastgeber, der einem jeden Morgen das Frühstück selber vorbereitet und sehr gute Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants hat. Das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet, das Bett richtig bequem (es gab eine extra weiche Decke als Unterlage) und man hatte einen atemberaubenden Blick vom Zimmer aus und beim Frühstück auf die Lagune von Knysna.
- Vadim (8/5): Toller Aufenthalt - Ausblick, Ruhe, Personal Bett hat beim rumdrehen im Schlaf gequietscht, Wasserdruck in der Dusche war sehr schwach

- Natalie (10/5): Best view in Knysna and birders paradise - Stunning views, nice room, fantastic breakfast and host Johan who knows lots about the area -
- David (10/5): You have stay here if in Knysna. - From when we me Johan and he showed us the room with the stunning view we were hooked. Johan and his wife had generated a large amount of very useful information. The breakfast whilst continental was comprehensive, again with a fabulous view of the lagoon. We tried the suggested restaurants and they were great quality at a fair price. Very happy we stayed there. Nothing
- christine (10/5): - Wunderbare Aussicht auf die Lagune, sehr netter Gastgeber. Man muss sich schon darüber im Klaren sein, dass diese Unterkunft weit oben auf einem Berg liegt.wir sind gut einmal hoch und einmal runter gekommen. Ansonsten haben wir uber genutzt.
- Eberhard (10/5): - 1A Lage. Herrliche Azssicht vom Zimmer direkt auf die Lagune. Johan und Dirkie sind sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Gastgeber. Wir waren schon oft in Knysna, aber diese Unterkunft ist einfach top.

- Eric (10/5): -
- Peter (7/5): -
- Linda (9/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit Blick auf Knysna - Es war wirklich schön, Johan der Gastgeber, ist total offen und herzlich, wir haben beim Frühstück soooo viel über Afrika gelernt durch ihn, wahnsinnig interessant! Das Zimmer ist außerdem auch sehr schön und hat alles, was man benötigt. Der Balkon bietet eine schöne Aussicht auf die Lagune und es gab auch einen sehr sehr günstigen Laundry Service.
- Denise (10/5): - Herrlicher Ausblick
Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, der gerne Fragen beantwortet und viel zu seinem Land erzählt
- Francesco (10/5): Highly recommended - My wife and I felt like home. Thanks Johan!
- Gözde (9/5): Superb - We stayed in the hotel in winter time, so Johan (the owner) upgraded us to a bigger room, which was very kind. He was very hospitable, easy to communicate and helped us with everything we needed. The room has the best views over Knysna lagoon. Very good price for what you get.
- Volkhard (10/5): - Da passt einfach alles. Schöne Zimmer, nette Gastgeber traumhafter Ausblick.
- Volkhard (10/5): - Was soll man sagen ? Der Ausblick ist ein Traum, die Gastgeber super nett, da gibt es nichts zu bemängeln.
- Michelle (10/5): Perfect Stay at Paradise Found! - Paradise Found is a real gem in Knysna! Johan is a wonderful host. Our two rooms both had spectacular views. Breakfast each morning was delicious and served on a beautiful terrace. Johan also made two excellent dinner reservations for us. Everything about Paradise Found was a delight! Everything was great!
- Bernard (10/5): Fantastic views, well equipped and comfortable accommodation - Fantastic property with amazing views over the lagoon. We had a lovely room with large balcony. Johan was an excellent host who provided us with loads of useful local information. High recommended. Nothing
- Marta (10/5): Greatly vibrant and friendly place. - The accommodation is situated in a very attractive place close to several attractions in Knysna. The view from the room is breathtaking when the weather is beautiful. International visitors add some additional vibe. Knysna cuisine presents with a great variety of tastes and flavors. I did not like only a rainy weather which we had for a day and a half.
- Kim (9/5): Superb -
- Roger (10/5): We would love to come back! - The room was comfy and Johan, the host, was really great with suggestions for restaurants and activities. The breakfast was wonderful with a breathtaking view over Knysna.

As other reviews mentioned, Johan goes above and beyond to ensure his guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay. He chatted with us daily and gave great recommendations on activities & restaurants. The location was very peaceful, we adored the view.
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional in all ways...accomodation, breakfast and host. Unforgetable. - Johann...what a warm hearted, helpfull host. Already Paradise Foundation is exceptional- Johann makes it magical. And he had so many good, good tips where to go, what to do and where best to eat in Knysna area. In our 4 days, with so many nice and interesting talks, we can
say Johan became a very good friend. There is only one thing we regret: we had to leave after 4 days. BUT: we will be back, for sure. We love you Johan- Hanna & Andreas The departure.....
- Anka (10/5): Would gladly stay again! - You can enjoy the beautiful view from the terrace, living room and bedroom! Very kind host. Nothing. Recommended for travelers with car - for such a panoramic view a substantial elevation gain is needed.
- Alan (9/5): Superb -
- Josh (10/5): Beautiful place with a great host - Really comfortable rooms with a beautiful view.
Host was really nice and gave us loads of great food and activity recommendations.
- Cowan (9/5): Superb - Great host, very helpful, have some great recommendations.

A wonderful host who was quick to respond to messages and had great local knowledge, all his recommendations were perfect. We would book here again without hesitation. -
- Thomas (10/5): Great place to stay! - Very nice view on the lagoon
Good Breakfast
Lots of good informations of the host John
- Michelle (10/5): 10/10 .. Best accommodation we stayed in on our whole trip! - Everything was just perfect ! We absolutely loved staying in this apartment. It is truly a little paradise and you won’t regret booking it! The owner is so friendly and helpful. We could feel like home and the view over the lagoon is just marvellous. Nothing. We absolutely enjoyed it!
- Andreas (10/5): Great stay overlooking Knysna Heads - Johan is a great host. Accommodation is as advertised with fantastic view over Knysna and the Heads. Nice touches such as topped up filtered water and milk daily and arranging optional restaurant bookings for first few evenings to ensure we had good dining options which we used. Unit also cleaned daily.
- Dustin (10/5): It did feel like we were literally staying in Paradise! - The views were spectacular! Johan was very friendly and attentive, and catered to our needs. He recommended a few restaurants and activities in the area which were all amazing. Will stay there again in a heart beat!
- Jason (10/5): Johan , the owner , was very down to earth and great to share knowledge and experience with. This place is a gem - The view from our room was amazing !
- Frank (10/5): One of the top 3 stays during my 5-week tour across South Africa - The location and views from the accomodation were great, the hygiene was top notch, the breakfast was great, but what I liked most was the incredible customer-friendliness, service commitment and communication with my host Johan. Breakfast every morning was a pleasure, not only because of the excellent breakfast, but especially the information Johan gave about the area and the country. Ask him a question, all the facts , and he has an answer. I learned a lot from him about this beautiful country.
If I will come to this area again I would definitely book a stay with Paradise Found again. No doubt about it.
I thought I had taken photos of the accommodation, but I seem to have forgotten. I do have a picture of the stunning sunrise view. Nothing
- Florence (9/5): Superb - Everything! Johan is a great host. Lovely kind personality, courteous and helpful. The view from your bedroom is incredible. The size of the terrace. I would have liked the curtains to block the day light more.
- Peter (10/5): Most enjoyable stay with excellent views. - The owners, very friendly and most helpful when planning a trip.
The views from the property are astounding!
A good breakfast enjoyed as you admire the view. Nothing
- Mariska (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful view, very clean and neat. Breakfast was a really special treat.
- Reinhard (9/5): Great views over the lagoon + a perfect host - We staid for 4 days at Paradise Found and would come back again.
Johan, our landlord and very ambitioned and successful biker had always time for us, read every wish from our lips, was flexible and a very interesting person and partner for good talks.
The apartment was clean with a great view over the lagoon. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend the location without any reservation.
Thanks Johan for letting us your guests!
Reiner + Doris nothing
- Xavier (9/5): À feeling of paradise in Knysna , a happy Time . - The host Johan is perfect for welcoming , and quickly you are as in your home . Hé likes to share . The location is great . A beautiful terrace with View on the lagoon and All is done for your comfort .
- Debbie (9/5): Superb -
- Karen (10/5): Amazing views, lovely breakfast, quiet. Everything was fabulous - We loved everything about Paradise Found. Nothing not to like !!!! Nothing !!
- Jessica (10/5): Most amazing stay! - We had the most amazing room with a full view of Thesen Island and some parts of Knysna. The breakfast was great and Dirkie and Johan were the friendliest hosts! It actually felt like home to us and we would always come back! Can recommend 100000%!
- Jones (10/5): Exceptional - View
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Our host, Johan, was fantastic, the location perfect and the view was exceptional!
- Peter (9/5): Superb - Extremely helpful and informative hosts with trip and food choices (Sirocco restaurant a real winner), Character room with excellent private balcony exception views over estuary and town. Very personal breakfast, quality food. Strongly recommend. Comparatively small to other places stayed on this trip but doesn’t matter. Payment system bad - not the sole fault of B&B. Payment of 50% well before travel created uncertainty - I felt we had paid, host suggested otherwise - created unnecessary tension and wasted valuable time investigating bank accounts to resolve. Booking.com needs to improve this approach as the two worst experiences of some 15 properties stayed occurred when this approach had been adopted.
- Mpinang (10/5): Knysna 2024 experience - Just wow....the host the views..and friendly 🐶
Puppy..it is indeed paradise on earth There was nothing to dislike
- Kevin (10/5): Amazing Views, Perfect Breakfast, Very Comfortable Room, Exceptional Hosts - Fantastic views of Knysna Bay from our private balcony.
Brilliant breakfast served on our private balcony every day.
Room very comfortable and well equipped for a stay of a few days.
Parking included.
Great value.
Amazing hosts who could not do enough for us.
Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a place in the Knysna area Nothing. Keep up the good work :)
- Michael (10/5): Nice stay in Knysna - Very welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast, and exceptionally clean room. And the views of the lagoon were absolutely gorgeous! All made for a perfect stay.
