Nestled along South Africa’s famous Garden Route, Knysna is a destination that effortlessly combines natural beauty with a laid-back atmosphere. Surrounded by indigenous forests, a tranquil lagoon, and a wealth of outdoor attractions, the town invites visitors to unwind. Finding comfortable accommodation in the heart of it all makes exploring even more rewarding, and in the leafy suburb of Paradise, 6 on Protea offers guests a peaceful retreat overlooking the Knysna Lagoon. Boasting elegantly styled suites, the guest house combines warm hospitality, breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset, and attentive service from an owner who lives on site, ensuring every stay is as memorable as the destination itself. 

A Comfortable Stay for Every Traveller 

Imagine waking to the sights and sounds of the Knysna Lagoon: birds chirping in the distance while a small boat hums across the water. At 6 on Protea, this becomes reality. Within the 4-star guest house, visitors can choose from its five elegantly styled and spacious en-suite rooms, each offering the perfect base for exploring Knysna and the beauty of the wider Garden Route with its iconic natural landscapes.  

Every unit boasts spectacular views of the lagoon and the Heads, paired with the modern comforts of home. Accommodating between two to four guests, couples to families and groups can enjoy a tranquil holiday like no other. In the stunning Paquita Suite, couples can sit back and enjoy a romantic evening on the private patio while the queen-size bed promises a restful night’s sleep. 

For those curious travellers who find that any great adventure is shared with friends, the Lagoon Loft apartment comes fully self-catering. Its private living area is the perfect space to relax together, while the large balcony with braai facilities is ideal for sipping a glass of wine as the sun sets over the lagoon, or enjoying a leisurely breakfast for early risers. 

Families are equally well catered for at the guest house, with the Featherbed Family Unit standing as the dedicated family accommodation. Spacious and equipped with everything guests could need for a self-catering stay, it’s designed with family holidays in mind.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
