Many native plants provide shade, flowers and fruits provide food for insects and birds. We offer a harmonious base from which our guests can explore the area and the legendary backdrop of Knysna or relax after a strenuous day. Armadillo`s garden is a real little paradise! Pool and wooden deck Would you like to let your soul dangle in the hammock, sunbathe in our loungers in the garden oasis, or would you like to refresh yourself in the pool? All this is there for you to enjoy. The water is cleaned in an environmentally friendly and clean way. A special device produces natural chlorine from salt by electrolysis, because bathing without chemical additives is even more fun. Lapa & Grill The traditional Lapa (a small African shelter with a thatched roof) is equipped with a picnic table and is perfect for an aperitif, a barbecue or a "slumber". Under the lapa (in addition to the charcoal grills on the private studio terraces) you will find a Weber gas grill with all the necessary accessories for a delicious barbecue. Fireplace: What could be more romantic than gathering around the fire in the evening after an eventful day, telling stories and looking up at the clear starry sky? The fireplace is equipped with many seats and is available to our guests at any time. Of course we ask our guests to make sure before leaving that there is no danger from the fire or the embers. Cleaning: During a longer stay the accommodation will be cleaned once a week and sheets, towels and shower towels will be changed once a week. Environment: Knysna is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the Garden Route, surrounded by untouched nature. Just as we do everything to make our guests feel comfortable and at home, we also attach great importance to a respectful treatment of the environment. The effects of global climate change can also be felt in Knysna, especially in the form of reduced rainfall. There is often a water shortage in the area and various restrictions apply. We are aware of our responsibility as a guesthouse and would like to contribute our part to an environmentally friendly behavior. In order to reduce our electricity and coal consumption, we have installed solar collectors on the roof for hot water preparation. And since 2018 we have been producing part of the electricity with our own photovoltaic system.
