WELCOME TO

SOUTH VILLA GUEST HOUSE & GARDEN

We are not affected by loadsheeding!

South Villa Guest House is situated in the suburb of Paradise, in the town of Knysna, “The heart of the Garden Route”, in sunny South Africa.

South Villa Guest House offers our visitors a relaxed experience, surrounded by indigenous forest and overlooking the famous Knysna Heads and lagoon.

At January 1st 2023 we opened our wonderful little garden. The garden is behind the main building and it’s a wonderful place to relax with a phantastic view on the lagoon and the ocean. We are very happy to finally offer this new additional option to our guests.

We are sure, you will enjoy this extra!

The garden only is open for our overnight guests!

South Villa is ideally positioned to take advantage of all major attractions in and around Knysna such as Simola and Pezula Golf Courses, the Knysna Waterfront, Ferries to Featherbed Nature Reserve, Elephant Park and a 10 min walk to the Town Centre.

All rooms are en-suite (shower only), decorated in the theme of understated elegance of which 4 rooms have private balconies overlooking the Knysna lagoon and Knysna Heads.
