On the 49' sized Samsung 4K TV, there is complimentary Netflix streaming available. All our units do offer pellet fireplaces and oil radiators for you to stay warm during the winter season. Wake up in the bedroom in an length king size platform bed with spectacular views over the Lagoon. The bedroom also offers a colourful ensuite bathroom with underfloor heating and a spacious walk in shower, bath tub and direct view at the Knysna heads. The main house also has a guest bathroom with walk-in shower and underfloor heating, a south deck with a lunch / dinner table and most of all amazing views over Knysna and the lagoon towards the heads. The north deck is a great place for a chilled time sitting in the outside lounge overlooking our beautiful garden. Important: Please let the host know in advance if you are planning to use the solar-powered Jacuzzi during your time at the Main House. It takes the solar-powered Jacuzzi (real-time sun powered!) about 6-8 hours to reach temperature, also depending on conditions. The daily solar-powered Jacuzzi heating times are from 10 am to 14:30 pm and from 15:00 pm to 18:00 pm. Please plan your usage accordingly. As our Jacuzzi is running purely on solar / sun power and as the sun sets in the evening, the heating stops at 18 pm. Please note: Availability of the fully solar-powered Jacuzzi not guaranteed (as e.g. hardware outages or weather conditions can't be controlled by us).

Traveling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

Our area is called "Paradise" and a lovely quiet neighbourhood on the hill offering spectacular views over the famous Knysna Lagoon. We are pretty close to the center of town, actually it is only a 5 - 10 minute drive down the hill. If you want to see what Knysna has to offer as a town, we would suggest to check the following spots. Leisure Island is nice for a walk. There is also an enchanting nature park there. A large part of Thesen Island is for residents only, but the public part has a few restaurants and shops. In the town itself there is a small mall. If you want to see some nice shops, Grey Street is also worth a visit. For hippsters, the area around Knysna Industry is very interesting. There’s a fantastic gin distillery with a bar and a really good pizzeria next door. In any case, it’s also worth taking a little detour to Design Wise. You can find wonderful design furniture there. By the way, we bought the big colourful seat cushions in the Main House there. For a bit of sightseeing, it’s also worth going to the Heads and enjoying the view. And of course, the harbour is also quite nice. But it’s a bit more touristy. There are shops and restaurants.
