Company information

Welcome to our lovely holiday home and beautiful garden in Knysna! We live in Switzerland most of the year and rent out our 3 attractive studios on a self-catering basis throughout the whole year. When we are not in Knysna, Mike & his team will welcome you on site, show you everything you need and make you feel at home. We are very sure you will appreciate and enjoy the Armadillo studio as much as we do! Sandra & René Will

Property information

Offering three self-catering accommodations, the Armadillo is a haven of peace and tranquility set in one of the most creative and lovingly maintained private gardens in Knysna. Here you’ll find a unique and sophisticated environment. We provide a happy, harmonious base from which our visitors can explore and appreciate the legendary scenery of Knysna and the surrounding area. Pristine pool & decks: Positioned to make the most of every minute of the African sun, our pool & sun decks are the perfect place to soak up some rays in an oasis-like setting. The water is kept clean & crystal clear through our eco-friendly chlorinator that turns sea salt into natural chlorine. Bathing is a pleasure in a pool free from the odour of harsh chemicals & additives. Lapa & braai: Guests can ‘go native’ & enjoy a true taste of South Africa in our thatched lapa (shelter), complete with Weber braai & picnic table. Braai tongs, cutlery, china & glassware, etc. are provided in each studio. Gather round the fire: Next to the lapa & braai area is one of our most unique garden features - an outdoor fireplace, complete with seating & wood storage area.

Neighbourhood information

We’re located in the quiet, leafy suburb of Hunters Home, just 1 minute from the lagoon and five minutes from the centre of Knysna with its picturesque waterfront, superb restaurants, boutiques and boat cruise terminals. Drive in the opposite direction and you can be standing on top of the famous Heads or walking barefoot on the beaches of Leisure Isle within 5 minutes. There are 2 local pub/restaurants within a couple of minutes of us and a further restaurant and café at the base of the Heads.
