[ricksallee, 20/11/2011] Hospitality at its best! Suites are spacious and immaculate some with balconies and a wonderful view of the "heads". Located in a residential area but about 5 minutes from shopping ,restaurants and activities.Ross recommended "Firefly" as an evening restaurant and it will will likely surprise you with food and service,in a good way. The service at Villa Afikana is smart efficient and done in the most friendly way. Ross and Bianca run a 5 star guest house and the best we visited in 6 weeks of travellng South Africa.
[tammyandy, 30/12/2010] We had high expectations from the website, but from the moment we arrived until leaving, we enjoyed one "WOW" moment after another! The address of Villa Afrikana is called Paradise. Ross & Bianca have certainly lived up to that standard. We think of their beautiful home as "African Chic". Every view, every room has features the spectacular Knysna lagoon. The style of their home is very bright, yet warm. Ross, Bianca and their attentive staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and have a wonderful way of making us their welcomed guests. Around every corner and with each day, we were pleasantly sur

[Nimayao, 11/10/2010] About a year ago my friends asked me to join them on a magical and rather extreme trip, I answered there question and said where to? And when they told me they were going to South Africa, there was no doubt at all... I joined
So we saved up our money and finally booked our tickets and ended up in Knysna last summer.
We had arranged that someone could pick us up at the airport, but I never knew that the Owner, Mr Ross, of the hotel would pick us up which was great. And the first thing that came to my mind was wow that guy looks exactly like the guy in Soprano. Don’t misunderstand me, but I re

[GlendaVen, 08/10/2010] Wonderfully appointed suites with a breathless view on the Knysna lagoon, this is really a place we would recommend.
Bright rooms, very comfortable beds, underfloor heating in the large bathrooms, with all the amenities you could need.
The staff are friendly, kind and very efficient; breakfast is really great, with a wide choice of specialities.
A swimming-pool and a parking are also provided.
On the "Paradise" hill, it's in an ideal position to visit Knysna and the surroundings.
[extravel, 21/10/2009] From the pictures we’d seen, and the reports we’d heard, we knew Villa Afrikana was going to be special. This really was the highlight of our trip. The location on the hill (in Paradise) provides glorious views of the heads and is perfectly located to allow exploration of all the areas in Knysna. The décor-magazine interiors are white, unspoiled and evoke a sense of calm with just a little bit of glamour and as soon as we met the hosts, we understood why! Ross & Bianca are warm and welcoming without being intrusive they, as with everything else about Villa Afrikana, defy all expectations

[BrittAndersson, 13/03/2009] Our stay at Villa Afrikana was something extra! We had breakfast at our balcony, outlooking the magnificant view over Knysna lagoon. Villa Afrikana also provided us with excellent concierge service from its host, and made us a reservation at a one of a kind resturang down by the docks.
We can truly recommend Villa afrikana!
