Paradise Private is located in the heart of Paradise, perched high above the town & lagoon, and just a short hop to the Waterfront and centre of Town.

Our studios, Nature-Zen, Tidal-Zen & Mystical-Zen have breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the famous Knysna lagoon & iconic Heads – almost impossible to describe unless you come and experience it yourself.

Stone-Zen which is our smaller unit is surrounded by a small bamboo forest and overlooks a garden, but has an exclusive lagoon viewing deck just a short stroll away from the unit.

The views at Alto-Zen Treetop is "tree-mendous"....skye above, town below, peace within....the ideal space to unwind and enjoy quiet moments.

Each studio is a tiny home, a warm inviting space, in which to relax and enjoy a complete sense of freedom. It gives you the space to “just be” in comfortable company.

Enjoy natural soft lighting, warm textures & low ceilings to enhance intimacy.

All the studios have private entrances and the private intimate undercover decks are perfect for champagne celebrations or winter nights wrapped in blankets whilst enjoying a steaming mug of hot chocolate.

Our sheltered courtyard deck is the perfect suntrap for sun bathing or sitting down with a good book in winter.

Make use of our private African inspired courtyard boma for a barbeque or fireside evening (perfect for viewing the open starry sky). Subject to availability on request. Firewood & braai utensils are provided. Ellie with set up the ambiance and comfortable seating.

Come for your morning exercises in our unique out-of-ground solidwood, semi lap pool or get a summer chill, surrounded by shades of green.

Our Nature Hotspot offers a unique wood fired South-African cedar sauna – the perfect companion for those cold winter nights, and the ultimate way to get that glow back.

Ellie will set a seductive romantic mood for the Hotspot with soft, mellow flickering candle light, and make sure that a surprise awaits you, after entering through the garden Zen door. Francois will fine tune sauna temperature for your comfort.

If necessary you can beat the heat with the cold, refreshing shower that is in the garden next to the sauna.

The Hotspot also has a small, undercover chill-out deck where sundowners can be enjoyed whilst enjoying the views and the ambiance, allowing your imagination to run wild. This unique experience is subject to availability, pre-arranged, and can be booked for your exclusive use, at an extra charge.

Other things to note
Be aware that our unique solidwood eco architecture has the effect of inducing instant relaxation, which if left unchecked will result in severe oversleeping and inability to become mobile in the mornings which can effect any big plans you may have had for your day. It therefore follows that only booking a 2 night stay could limit your experience of the area. :)
