Lakeside Knysna

Located at 88 Main Road, Paradise, Knysna 6571, Lakeside Knysna offers simple, self-catering accommodation just a short stroll from Knysna’s waterfront and town centre.

Rooms and suites are housed in a wooden-style building with a homey, unpretentious feel. Each unit includes a kitchenette, en-suite bathroom, TV (with M-Net/DStv), and either lagoon-facing views or quiet rear-facing orientation.
For guests travelling by car, undercover parking is available. There’s also a communal braai (barbecue) area — ideal for relaxed dinners after exploring the town or nearby nature spots.
The location is one of Lakeside’s strongest points: just across from the lagoon, many rooms offer sweeping views of the water and the iconic “Heads,” and it’s only a 5-10 minute walk to the shops, restaurants, ferry docks and the buzzing Quays waterfront.
Because it’s self-catering, Lakeside works well for couples, friends or families wanting a flexible, affordable base — whether for a night or several days — especially in the context of a road-trip along the Garden Route.

Good to know:

As the property sits near a main road, light sleepers may notice some traffic noise.
While comfortable and well located, the rooms are fairly basic and functional — more “no-frills stay” than luxury retreat, but with very good value for money.
