Johan & Dirkie
Paradise Found has an incredible view overlooking most of the Knysna lagoon. One can point to everything that needs to be seen and done in Knysna. The Guesthouse is located 1.2km from the Waterfront / harbor on a hill that gives it the birds eye view. The perfect location to relax after a busy day!
Johan and Dirkie are the owners; we are personally serving you to ensure you have the best experience in Knysna. Nothing is to much to ask. Johan escaped the corporate petrochemical industry and Dirkie is a industrial pharmacist. We are both keen sports people with a special love for mountain biking.
A quiet neighborhood; far away enough from the busy tourist center, but close enough to walk; You have a birds eye view over the Waterfront activities, Lagoon and famous Knysna heads.
