Nice view but premises are not well maintained.

There were spiders and webs, the bedding was dusty and stained, the geyser water was rusty, the garden below was littered and the jacuzzi had algae so it could not be used.

Eenhede se 3-ster gradering glad nie op standaard nie. Verblyf glad nie geniet nie. Swak.

Wifi het gesukkel, geen MNet. Eenhede nie besonders skoon nie. Volgens my sou ons 'n balkon gehad het, maar eenheid 2 het geen balkon nie. Sekuriteitshek het probleme gegee. Braaifasiliteite geroes op balkon voor huis. Geen braaifasiliteite by eenhede nie. Jacuzzi vuil, geen water nie, neem wel in ag dit is winter. Geen remote control voorsien vir eenheid 2 nie, moes gaan vra vir een. Ergste is geen verwelkoming of besoek van eienaar nie. Wel by Vrydagmiddag boodskap gekry om uitstaande bedrag te betaal. Swakste verblyf. Daar was vorige klagtes ook op reviews.

Units 3 star rating not up to standard at all. Stay not enjoyed at all. Weak.

Wifi struggled, no MNet. Units not particularly clean. According to me we would have had a balcony but unit 2 has no balcony. Security gate gave problems. Barbecue facilities rusted on balcony in front of house. No barbecue facilities at units. Jacuzzi dirty, no water, do take into account it is winter. No remote control provided for unit 2, had to go and ask for one. Worst is no welcome or visit from owner. Did get a message on Friday afternoon to pay the outstanding amount. Weakest accommodation. There were previous complaints on reviews as well.

Perfect for purpose.

Great place to lay our weary heads after a day at Simola Hill Climb!. Beds were clean and made and great service from owner who was willing to accommodate our schedule perfectly. Will definitely make use of their facilities next year again!

OK vir oornagverblyf.

Ek het 'n oornagplek benodig vir 'n terugkeer trip van Gqeberha na Kaapstad. Vir hierdie doel was Paradise Heads gepas. Ek sal dit nie aanbeveel vir 'n wegbreekvakansieplek met geliefdes en kinders nie, want dit is oud en moeg. Vir oornag het dit gehad wat ek benodig het. 'n Gemaklike bed, stort, mikrogolf en veilige parkering. En tot my groot verligting het die motorhek gewerk in beurtkrag!

OK for overnight stay.

I needed a place to stay for a return trip from Gqeberha to Cape Town. For this purpose, Paradise Heads was appropriate. I would not recommend it for a getaway with loved ones and children as it is old and tired. For overnight it had what I needed. A comfortable bed, shower, microwave and secure parking. And to my great relief, the car gate worked in load shedding!

You get what you pay for.

It's not fair to rate Paradise Heads poorly. If you are looking for a reasonably comfortable place to stay, it's ok. Nothing fancy, and reasonable for its price point. The beds are uncomfortable and the bedding is not great. I rearrange the beds a bit to a layout that made more sense for a single person and moved the extension cord next to my bed to charge devices. The view is nice. I arrived late, which they were very accommodating about, but put me in the wrong room, and I had to change to a less comfortable room. Fellow guests can definitely be heard in the next rooms. On my second night, they arrived home late and it was really disruptive. I think this is due to poor soundproofing. I got my own coffee, tea, and milk at the garage down the road. A little more attention to detail and friendlier, and more of a focus on hospitality and service and maybe an investment in some nicer bedding would really elevate this place into a hidden gem. Also, there needs to be a safe place to drop off keys after exiting using the remote. I left at 5 am.

Skoon, maar bitter oud, verdien upgrade.

Eerstens het ek die triple chalet met balcony bespreek (1 enkelbed en dubbelbed), het 'n kamer met 2 enkelbeddens en king-grootte dubbelbed gekry. Entrance vanaf stoep wat na ander kamers lei, raserig, lig op stoep brand die hele nag en verlig kamer, meubels is stokoud en verdien iets meer gerieflik. Garage-deur word kort-kort oop- en toegemaak wat reg by ons kamer was en baie steurend net wanneer die kleintjie slaap, word hy wakker van die geraas. Beddegoed en handdoek skoon, maar geen besem in eenheid om skoon te maak nie, los jy iets op die tafel, klim die miere daarop soos 'n miershoop, geen Doom om te spuit nie. Skakel die bedlampie aan, trip die "plugs", moes WhatsApp stuur en eers 'n ruk daarna het eienaar se dogter "trip switch" kom aanskakel sonder om by ons te kom hoor wat die probleem was, bedlampie se plug is verweer en groot veiligheidsrisiko. Los teëls in kombuisarea. Net ingelig oor loadshedding skedule vir die dag van aankoms, maar geen verdere inligting oor loadshedding, moes maar net sien wanneer krag afgaan. Is beslis ook nie loopafstand na Waterfront toe nie, nogal steil opdraend terug na die eenheid. View vanaf stoep is great, maar nee wat, sal nie weer soontoe gaan nie. 'n Nota in die kombuis om R20 te los vir die skoonmaak van skottelgoed en ook R20 vir die hervul van koffie/suiker sachets wat in kombuis is - hoe belaglik.

Clean, but bitterly old, deserves upgrade.

First I booked the triple chalet with balcony (1 single bed and double bed), got a room with 2 single beds and king size double bed. Entrance from porch leading to other rooms, noisy, light on porch burns all night and illuminates room, furniture is very old and deserves something more comfortable. Garage door is opened and closed from time to time which was right by our room and very disturbing just when the little one is sleeping, he wakes up from the noise. Bed linen and towel clean, but no broom in unit to clean, you leave something on the table, the ants climb on it like an anthill, no Doom to spray. Turn on the bedside lamp, trip the "plugs", had to send WhatsApp and only a while later the owner's daughter came to turn on the "trip switch" without coming to hear from us what the problem was, the bedside lamp's plug was damaged and a big safety risk . Loose tiles in kitchen area. Just informed about loadshedding schedule for the day of arrival, but no further information about loadshedding, just had to see when power goes out. Definitely not walking distance to the Waterfront either, quite a steep climb back to the unit. View from stoep is great, but no, won't go there again. A note in the kitchen to leave R20 for cleaning dishes and also R20 for refilling coffee/sugar sachets that are in the kitchen - how ridiculous.

Good location and beautiful view.

Nice clean and comfortable. WiFi doesn't work and TV is only free channels and not very clear. Reception was friendly and helpful. Negative: The braai provided on request was very dirty and could not be used and the double plate stove was rusted and one of the knobs was missing. Couch sits on the ground.

Skoon (maar oud) en goedkoop met mooi uitsig.

Die enigste rede hoekom hulle nie 5 sterre kry vir netheid nie is omdat die gebou 'n snaakse, ou seereuk het. Dis oud, nie luuks nie, maar regtig skoon met 'n uitsig op die Knysnakoppe. Dis goedkoop, so moet niks luuks verwag nie. Dis relatief naby aan die N2, so dit raas van tyd tot tyd.

Clean (but old) and cheap with a nice view.

The only reason they don't get 5 stars for cleanliness is because the building has a funny old sea smell. It's old, not luxurious, but really clean with a view of the Knysnakoppe. It's cheap, so don't expect anything fancy. It's relatively close to the N2, so it does get noisy from time to time.

Pragtige ligging. Toebehore redelik oud, maar alles is skoon en eienaars vriendelik.

Kamer het pragtige uitsig en ligging is baie sentraal. Ek het 'n haardroër gemis en die TV sein was baie sleg (ons was meestal uit so het ons nie gepla nie, maar vir iemand wat wil tv kyk sal dit nie werk nie). Veilige parkering en sterk WiFi.

Alhoewel alles mooi skoon was, is daar n afgeleefdheid in die kamer.

Vir die prys wat ons betaal het, was die kamer 'n teleurstelling. Alles is skoon, maar dit is bitter klein en maak staat op die uitsig om die plek uit te verhuur. Die foto's is akkuraat, maar weet dat dit letterlik die hele kamer wys. Die stort se pype is nie behoorlik vasgedraai nie. Jy kan dus glad nie die stort stel nie.

Although everything was nice and clean, there is a tiredness in the room.

For the price we paid, the room was a disappointment. Everything is clean, but it is very small and relies on the view to let the place out. The photos are accurate, but know that they literally show the entire room. The shower pipes are not properly tightened. So you can't set the shower at all.

Die onkostes was meer omrede meer Newmarket etes moes neem, as gevolg van geen braaigeriewe. Die eienares was onvriendelik en alles na moeite gevoel.

Geen braaigeriewe, moes aanhoudend vra, waar is die braai. Na 'n paar dae toe word 'n klein braai gekoop wat gedeel moes word met ander gaste. Ander gaste het by ons potte en panne en tweeplaatstofie geleen om hulle kos te kon maak. Toe ons hoor vir die Jacuzzi se sleutel, toe word daar gesê die Jacuzzi is stukkend. Die tafels buite die slaapplekkies was vervalle en stukkend so kon nie eers buite sit en die uitsig geniet nie. Die informasiekaart wat in die kamers was sê daaglikse skoon handdoeke en swemhanddoeke beskikbaar teen R20. Maar ook dit was nie beskikbaar nie en toe hoor ons dis die vorige eienaars reëlings, maar die informasiekaart het nog hulle name op. Die TV-kanale was glad nie beskikbaar nie. 'n Nota by die chalets sê los R20 vir vuil skottelgoed net om terug te kom en dit is nog net so, so daar was nie opwasgeriewe nie. Die potte en panne wat daar was was stukkend met af handvatsels.

The expenses were more due to having to take more Newmarket meals, as a result of no braai facilities. The owner was unfriendly and everything felt like an effort.

No braai facilities, had to keep asking, where is the braai. After a few days, a small braai was bought which had to be shared with other guests. Other guests borrowed pots and pans and two-plate stove from us to prepare their food. When we asked for the Jacuzzi's key, then it was said that the Jacuzzi was broken. The tables outside the sleeping places were dilapidated and broken so couldn't even sit outside and enjoy the view. The information card that was in the rooms says daily clean towels and swimming towels available at R20. But that too was not available and then we heard that it was the previous owners arrangements, but the information card still had their names on it. The TV channels were not available at all. A note at the chalets says leave R20 for dirty dishes just to come back and it's still like that, so there were no washing up facilities. The pots and pans that were there were broken with off handles.

Baie netjies en skoon. Uiterste privaatheid asook veiligheid.

Paradise Heads sal definitief deur my aanbeveel word aangesien dit 'n lekke blyplekkie is met sekuriteit en 'n stil aangename omgewing. Die bestuurspersoneel is baie effektief en nooit oorbodig nie. Wanneer jy Knysna toe gaan bespreek tog net die plek en sien vir jouself.

Teleurgesteld. Nie gekry wat ons bespreek het nie.

Baie teleurgesteld.Ons is geplaas in ‘n baie minderwaardige eenheid as wat ons bespreek het. Geen DStv in die eenheid soos geadverteer nie. Geen privaat balkon nie. Sigareterook vanaf die hoofhuis het in die aande deurgekom na ons eenheid toe. Ou, deurgewaste handdoeke. Ons het dit met die webtuiste opgeneem wat dit met Celester opgeneem het. Celester het ons meegedeel dat sy nie die eienaars gaan kontak om dinge uit te sorter nie, maar dat sy ons sal skuif na ‘n ander eenheid vir twee aande en dan een aand verniet sal gee. Ons het dit nie aanvaar nie en besluit om nie die balans te betaal nie. Geen verskoning is aangebied nie.

Disappointed. Didn't get what we discussed.

Very disappointed.We were placed in a very inferior unit than we discussed. No DStv in the unit as advertised. No private balcony. Cigarette smoke from the main house came through to our unit in the evenings. Old, washed towels. We recorded it with the website that recorded it with Celester. Celester informed us that she will not contact the owners to sort things out, but that she will move us to another unit for two nights and then give one night for free. We did not accept it and decided not to pay the balance. No apology was offered.

Die eenheid het 'n pratige uitsig op die Knysnameer en die -koppe.

Verblyf is 'n hout-eenheid met baie ou toerusting. Die hangkas is in die ingang by die deur wat toegang bemoeilik en die hangplek is so smal dat 'n klerehanger nie reguit kan hang nie. Daar word geen diens verskaf nie en die eenheid is nie toegerus met 'n strykplank of -yster nie. Ons moes die sg. laundry van die eienaars, wat nie vrylik toeganklik is nie, gebruik om gekreukelde klere te stryk.

The unit has a beautiful view of Lake Knysnameer and the headlands.

Accommodation is a wooden unit with very old equipment. The hanging cupboard is in the entrance by the door which makes access difficult and the hanging space is so narrow that a clothes hanger cannot hang straight. No service is provided and the unit is not equipped with an ironing board or iron. We had to use the so-called laundry of the owners, which is not freely accessible, used to iron wrinkled clothes.

We took the irons out of the chalets as they kept being taken, guests didn't bother to use the ironing boards and just used the blankets on the beds instead and they got burnt. We let the guests use the iron in the dry laundry when they want. You were staying in self-catering so the chalets are not serviced, this is also stated on the information sheet in the chalet. It also says that if you need anything you can contact reception, and as we live on the premises this is not a problem. The wardrobe is a standard wardrobe. The equipment in the chalet is not as old as it is constantly being replaced.

The Wi-Fi was working as I am on it daily. The signal by the house is a very strong signal but it sometimes varies in strength, which is normal. Sometimes its the settings on your phone or tablet that need to be changed. As far as bathing goes, we, like many areas in South Africa have water restrictions. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this. There is a shower in the bathroom which you could have used.

The chalets are self-catering and there should have been an information sheet on the countertop which says that the chalets are not serviced and that if you need anything to please come to reception. I have just checked and unfortunately, it has been removed. I can only apologise for that. We have a visitor information board outside reception for all the guests to browse through. On arrival, we give you a map of the area. Due to the water restrictions, we do the linen every 4 days. The reason the reception door is closed is because of the wind. The security gate is closed as this is our private residence and we have had guests try to take the TV from their room and I have had numerous cell phones removed from the reception. As far as the spiders and insects go we are in a National Park area, also due to the fires, the ecology is not back to its normal balance yet, hence the insects. I am very sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.

Mooi ligging, diens swak.

Van Maandag tot Vrydag geen beddegoed verander, geen skoonmaakdiens vir die hele week en as jy wil self skoonmaak is die goed nie beskikbaar nie, jy moet gaan vra. Daar was geen noodkennisgewing met noodnommers ens. Daar was geen portofolioblad of boek met beskrywing van dienste, vermaak om enige so iets nie. Die ontvangsdeur is altyd toe met deure en hekke gesluit. Dit laat jou baie ongemaklik en onwelkom voel. Die eenheid was vuil en daar was baie spinnekoppe en insekte, ons moes self middels gaan koop om dit te beheer. Behalwe vir die ligging en pragtige uitsig gee ek die diens 'n zero.

Nice location, poor service.

From Monday to Friday no bed linen is changed, no cleaning service for the whole week and if you want to clean yourself the stuff is not available, you have to go and ask. There was no emergency notification with emergency numbers etc. There was no portfolio sheet or book describing services, entertainment or anything like that. The reception door is always closed with doors and gates. It makes you feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. The unit was dirty and there were a lot of spiders and insects, we had to go and buy remedies to control them ourselves. Apart from the location and beautiful view, I give the service a zero.

Die pragtige ligging word bederf deur die outydse en ietwat vuil eenheid, asook die feit dat ons nie baie welkom gevoel het nie.

Die eenheid was vuil en daar is nie 'n daaglikse skoonmaak diens nie. Ons eenheid is een keer gedurende die week skoongemaak. Die eienaar het wel op ons aankoms genoem dat daar geen skoonmaakdiens is nie. Daar was baie muf in die badkamer en die stort dreineer nie. Die handdoeke is so dun, oud en hard, dat jy amper deur hulle kan sien. Die eenheid se meubels, krane, kombuis, ens was baie outyds en nie versorg nie. Die WiFi wat geadverteer was het glad nie gewerk nie. Die klerekas was in die kombuis en baie klein, vuil en het soos muf geruik. Die kombuiskasdeure is besig om af te val en die kaste stink. Die yskas werk nie ordentlik nie en is ook vol muf. Die messe, vurke, lepels, ens is nie een stel nie. Daar was ook omtrent geen glas drinkglase nie. Die plastiese glase was wel vuil. Ons het vir die eienaar genoem dat die sker gebreek is en sy het gese dit is net daar vir gradering. Die messe was ongelooflik stomp. Die matras van die koninggrootte-bed was oud en ongemaklik en die kussings was baie ongelyk. Daar is nie DStv soos geadverteer nie, net SABC en wat ookal die eienaars gekyk het, wat nie altyd vanpas was vir kinders nie. Ons bure was ongelooflik naby en ons kon alles hoor, want daar is net 'n geslote deur tussen ons eenheid en hulle eenheid. Ander gaste het gevoel dat hulle ons braai-area kon gebruik en het 'n geraas en 'n gemors gemaak to amper middernag. Die ergste deel van ons verblyf was met ons aankoms toe die eienaar ons beskuldig dat ons haar geld skuld. Ons het 3 weke voor ons verblyf daar, die volle bedrag oorbetaal. Sy het ons baie onwelkom laat voel. Sy het nie omverskoning gevra nie en was baie deurmekaar.

The beautiful location is spoiled by the old fashioned and somewhat dirty unit, as well as the fact that we didn't feel very welcome.

The unit was dirty and there is not a daily cleaning service. Our unit was cleaned once during the week. The owner did mention upon our arrival that there is no cleaning service. There was a lot of mold in the bathroom and the shower did not drain. The towels are so thin, old and hard, you can almost see through them. The unit's furniture, faucets, kitchen, etc. were very old fashioned and not cared for. The WiFi that was advertised did not work at all. The wardrobe was in the kitchen and very small, dirty and smelled like mold. The kitchen cupboard doors are falling off and the cupboards stink. The fridge does not work properly and is also full of mould. The knives, forks, spoons, etc. are not one set. There were also almost no glass drinking glasses. The plastic glasses were dirty though. We mentioned to the owner that the shear was broken and she said it was just there for grading. The knives were incredibly blunt. The king size bed mattress was old and uncomfortable and the pillows were very uneven. There is no DStv as advertised, just SABC and whatever the owners were watching, which was not always suitable for children. Our neighbors were incredibly close and we could hear everything because there is only a closed door between our unit and theirs. Other guests felt they could use our braai area and made a noise and a mess until almost midnight. The worst part of our stay was upon our arrival when the owner accused us of owing her money. We paid the full amount 3 weeks before our stay there. She made us feel very unwelcome. She did not apologize and was very confused.

Dear Anel,

Thank you for your feedback. Please allow me to provide you with feedback on your comments.

We had just been passed as a 3- star graded accommodation a few days prior to your arrival.

In my opinion, the unit was not dirty when you checked in. It is a self-catering unit, which is not serviced on a daily basis. They are cleaned when the linen is changed. If the unit needs cleaning while you are staying in it, you can arrange with the housekeeper to have it cleaned, or speak to Reception.

The towels are new and the furniture is not old; it is a style we have gone with in the Family Unit. The furniture in the unit matches the furniture displayed in the pictures on the website.

The Wi-Fi was working, however, some of the devices cannot connect to all the different Wi-Fi devices due to their security settings. I also gave you both the codes as we have 2 connections. I cannot run my business without Wi-Fi, hence why it is available on a 24/7 basis.

As far as the glasses are concerned, we have equipped the kitchen for 5 guests.

We have an assortment of pillows for guests to choose from because one type of pillow does not suit all the guests.

We put on the TV channels for the kids when you asked us to.

The only guests that braaied next to you, were only there for the last 2 nights of your stay. I saw you talking to them and thought everything was alright. If there was a problem, I would have appreciated you bringing it to my attention to address the matter immediately.

Baie goed!

'n Baie goed toegeruste wooneenheid. Netjies. Pragtige uitsig oor Knysnameer.

Ligging maak nie op vir ander tekortkominge nie.

Paradise Heads was gemiddeld ten beste. Daar kan baie verbeter word in terme van beddegoed, eetgerei asook klank isolasie. Die beddegoed was skoon, maar was baie oud en verwaarloos. Die eetgerei is versameling van random messe, vurke, borde en bekers. Die chalets is prefab muur teen prefab muur, so die klank isolasie is nie baie goed nie, en die houtvloere dra by tot die klank wat trek. As mens sukkel om te slaap, sal jy nie 'n oog kan toe maak veral as jy bure het soos wat ons gehad het. Die parkering is ook 'n probleem en spasie kan beperk raak as daar baie gaste is. Die ligging is goed en naby aan alles in Knysna, maar dit maak ongelukkig nie op vir die res nie.

Location does not make up for other shortcomings.

Paradise Heads was average at best. Much can be improved in terms of bedding, cutlery as well as sound insulation. The bedding was clean but very old and neglected. The cutlery is a collection of random knives, forks, plates and cups. The chalets are prefab wall to prefab wall, so the sound insulation is not very good, and the wooden floors add to the sound that draws. If you have trouble sleeping, you won't be able to close an eye especially if you have neighbors like we had. The parking is also a problem and space can become limited if there are many guests. The location is good and close to everything in Knysna, but unfortunately it doesn't make up for the rest.

Dear John,

Thank you for your feedback.

We had just been re-evaluated for 3-star grading on the day of your arrival.

The linen is not old or neglected and the cutlery is not random, the crockery is a set that is in all the units.

The Chalets are on stilts so there is a certain amount of noise from the floor. If your neighbours were very noisy, you should have let me know to address the matter immediately.

We have 2 parking areas. If you were having trouble parking in one parking area, you could have let me know to direct you to the other parking area for easier parking.

Beknop en bedompig.

Die plekkie was baie bedompig, het na rook geruik, baie klein, ver van alles af.

Cramped and stuffy.

The place was very stuffy, smelled of smoke, very small, far from everything.

Heerlik om wakker te word en The Heads uit jou bed te sien!

Ons verblyf was ongelukkig net vir een nag en ek sal definitief in die toekoms langer daar wil bly. Die verblyf was skoon, netjies en alhoewel klein, was alles daar wat ons nodig gehad het. Ekstra handdoeke is ook voorsien! Dit was 'n baie luukse gevoel om die oggend wakker te word en The Heads vanaf die bed te sien. My agteruit ry met die motor is tot die uiterste beproef in die parkeerarea omdat daar so baie besoekers was.

Great to wake up and see The Heads from your bed!

Our stay was unfortunately only for one night and I would definitely like to stay there longer in the future. The accommodation was clean, tidy and although small, everything we needed was there. Extra towels are also provided! It was a very luxurious feeling to wake up in the morning and see The Heads from bed. My reversing with the car was tested to the limit in the parking area because there were so many visitors.

Fantastiese ligging, vriendelike diens, en skoon.

Ons het twee nagte in eenheid 5 oorgebly. Die eenheid het 'n fantastiese ligging en ons kon op die balkon sit en kyk hoe die son sak oor die lagoon en Knysna. Die eenhede se mure is dun, maar dit is te verstane in 'n houthuisie. Die plek het alles gehad wat nodig was om ons verblyf aangenaam te maak, en kliëntediens was puik. Die WiFi was ook baie goed, en sal beslis weer daar oorbly.

Great location, friendly service, and clean.

We stayed two nights in unit 5. The unit has a fantastic location and we were able to sit on the balcony and watch the sun set over the lagoon and Knysna. The units' walls are thin, but this is understandable in a log cabin. The place had everything needed to make our stay enjoyable, and customer service was great. The WiFi was also very good, and would definitely stay there again.

Redelike waarde vir geld.

Het net oorgeslaap en was bitter warm. Sou gaaf gewees as die yskas aan was vir bietjie ys of koue water.

Reasonable value for money.

Just overslept and was very hot. Would be nice if the fridge was on for some ice or cold water.

Het dit omtrent geniet. Die rustige atmosfeer en stilte.

Baie mooi plekkie en wat 'n mooi uitsig oor die strandmeer. Beslis waarde vir geld en gasvryheid was uitstekend.
