Child Policy:
Due to the steepness of the terrain there are unprotected edges. The pool & Jacuzzi are unfenced and unattended. If parents undertake to keep a close eye on children, we do accept younger children on request in Sea Urchin & Seahorse during quiet periods or when part of a group occupying all rooms provided children are able to swim. When other guests are resident, we request parents to ensure a tranquil atmosphere is maintained in consideration of guests not in their party. Under no circumstances are toddlers accepted as they can so quickly ‘escape’ from their parents and run to the pool.

Villa Paradisa Guest House Reviews
“Had a lovely one night stay here as part of a trip to South Africa for our honeymoon. We were made to feel extremely welcome and it was a really delightful surprise to find a bottle of bubbly waiting for us on arrival.Super room with fantastic view. Great sociable breakfast in the morning. Quick easy taxi ride into centre of town. Would strongly recommend”-James F
“I stayed with my wife for 2 nights in the guest house. I have to say that I was positively surprised by how owner takes care of every single detail. My wife loved the room as it was full of details. The first day we got there around 6pm after driving the garden route and the owner received us with sparkling wine and also had already booked us a spot for a top restaurant in Knysna (Pembreys). The last day we had to leave around 6am and she put our breakfast in a bag (even took time to buy us fresh pastry in the local shop). I highly recommend this place!”-Luigi P
“Villa Paradisa is perfectly situated to experience the wider Knysna area, and the views inspired us! great service and perfect breakfast with personal attention by the husband and wife team giving the space a personal touch.”-206maraiss
