Located in the heart of Paradise, perched high above the village with breathtaking handcrafted views of the lagoon & famous Knysna Heads - a blissful base for creative solo breaks or lovebirds wanting to go off the radar into their own little world. Whether it be glassy summer days or dramatic winter storms, the sweeping lagoon views will take your breath away. The private decks are perfect for champagne celebrations or nights wrapped in blankets whilst enjoying a steaming mug of hot chocolate.

The space
Experience bio-inspired eco architecture at Paradise Private. The roof cover uses unique organic, indigenous planted living roofs, which pump oxygen into the environment. Structures are built from solidwood, using sustainable, local resources, for a low carbon footprint.

Throughout the day into the night, the lagoon views from the studio continuous to captivate.

This wildly gorgeous studio is designed with romance at heart and has it's own unique character. It has a private entrance & a private undercover deck, furnished with outdoor furniture and cushions. Perfect for sun downers or to raise a toast to your magical break away.

The romantic built-in alcove bed looks out onto sweeping lagoon & Heads views. It creates a romantic feeling, especially when a winter storm rages outside while you're cuddly in your warm, cosy bed. It feels like a little cocoon cut off from the outside world. Enjoy natural soft lighting, warm textures & low ceilings to enhance intimacy.

For added romance there is a stand alone curved back slipper bath overlooking a fern garden - a sure way to sink into holiday mode (plush robes, complimentary foam bath & candles are provided). There is also a shower, 2 basins & a sep. loo.

The small kitchenette is an idyllic setting for preparing an indulgent "breakfast in bed" creation. It is equipped with a microwave oven, under-counter fridge, induction plate, kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery.

Complimentary breakfast goodies for your 1st morning (yoghurt, cranola, health rusks, fruit juice, filter coffee, tea, milk & sugar) are provided, as well as a complimentary carafe of sherry, a bottle of vino & chocolates.

Good quality linen and towels are provided, as well as soft plush bath robes for him and her.

The studio also features a flat screen TV with full DSTV channels, uncapped complimentary Wi-Fi.

Safe off-street parking on the premises.

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. :)
