    Absolutely appropriate name for this beautiful spot, we felt so lucky to have had the chance to stay at this little treasure of a spot. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. The place was kitted with everything you needed and more. We will absolutely be back again! 6 star rating if I could

    Paradise Found is truely a hidden gem of Knysna. You get unsurpassed views of the Lagoon and Knysna heads from the comfort of your room (completely unobstructed). Breakfast is served privately on your own balcony so you definitely have VIP treatment. Large beds and good wifi access - TV has Netflix and YouTube. The waterfront is a 3 minute drive away with loads of restaurants to choose from. Johan was an exceptional host and kept us updated on daily specials as well as giving suggestions on activities. Thank you Johan & Dirkie, you will definitely be seeing us again when we visit Knysna.

    Wow, wow, and wow, for the hosts, the room/services, and the view! Highly recommended, with a wonderful experience guaranteed. Breakfast on the deck with stunning views of Knysna lagoon and the Heads; heaven on earth..... Only downside was that we were there for only 2 days!

    An awesome getaway place from the business of life. Wonderful warm and helpful hosts Johan and Dirkie. A good healthy breakfast to set you for the day. The most spectacular view of Knysna heads and harbour. All in all good for the soul.

    Great B&B with a gorgeous view and an amazing Host (Johan) We had 2 wonderful days in Knysna staying at Johans Paradise Found. He is such a nice person and has some good recommendations for Dinner. He even got me one of his Red Wines, while the shops were closed at the weekend. As a gift he gave us some of his special selfmade cookies, made of plants from his farm. Breakfast is very well, made with ️ and he is your CEDW (Chief Executive Dishwasher )We could really recommend staying here for some nights.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise Found. The delicious breakfast overlooking the Bay Area (completely unobstructed view) was the perfect way to start each day. The room was very comfortable and clean, with everything we needed. The hosts Johan and Dirkie are lovely people who made us feel extremely welcome throughout our stay. Thanks to their recommendations we adjusted our plans and spent a fantastic day at the Robberg nature reserve and also ate at some really nice restaurants. We would highly recommend staying at Paradise Found!!

    Everything was perfect! We can highly recommend this place for everyone and you should spend at least two nights here! The delicious breakfast was served on our private balcony with a stunning view about Knysna and Johan gave us a lot of ideas what to do in and around Knysna. You will 100% regret it if you skip this accomodation!

    Amazing! It was such a pleasure to stay at Dirkie and Johans place. The view is out of this world and together with the breakfast every morning was just heaven. Don’t forget to say Hi to my favourite Drongo Punk who visits every morning.
