Garden:
The accommodation is embedded in a large and unique garden. Many indigenous 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 scenery of Knysna or relax after a busy day. Armadillo`s garden is a real little paradise!
Pool and wooden deck
Do you want to unwind your soul in the hammock, sunbathe in our loungers in the garden oasis, or may it be a refreshment in the pool? All this is for you to enjoy. The water is cleaned in an environmentally friendly and clean way. A special device uses salt to produce natural chlorine from electrolysis because bathing is even more fun without chemical additives.
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 "schlummi". Under the lapa you will find (in addition to the charcoal grills on the private studio terraces) nor a Weber gas grill with all the necessary accessories for a delicious barbecue.
Fireplace:
What's more romantic than gathering by the fire in the evening after an eventful day, telling stories and looking at the clear starry sky? The fireplace is equipped with plenty of seating and is available to our guests at all times. Of course, we ask our guests, before leaving to make sure that the fire or embers pose no danger.
The Armadillo is our holiday home and we are in Knysna several times a year for a few weeks. Then we love to receive our guests in person and to give them many tips and advice on request and to chat with them. When we are working in Switzerland, Mike Hazell, our established Property Manager, will be at your side checking in and out with his team and will gladly answer your questions.
