Johan & Margaretha or sometimes just Margaretha is a resort in Suriname, located in the Commewijne District. Its population at the 2012 census was 756.^[1] It is located along a peninsula northeast of Paramaribo. It is named after the coffee plantation Johan & Margaretha which was founded in 1745 by Johan Knöffel.^[2] It is safe to assume that his wife was called Margaretha.

The resort has a clinic and a school.^[3] The nature reserve of Braamspunt is located in the Johan & Margaretha resort. The resort of Margaretha can only be reached by boat.^[3]

Frederiksdorp (Sranan Tongo:^[4] Pikin Knuffel) is a village and former coffee and cocoa^[5] plantation^[4] located next to Johan & Margareta. Both plantations were owned by Johan Frederik Knöffel.^[4]

In 2004, the plantation became a historical monument.^[5] Frederikdorp is located on the Commewijne River and has a ferry connection to Mariënburg. Frederiksdorp covers an area of 300 hectares, has beaches, and mangrove forests.^[6]
