The location is beautiful and peaceful except for some temporary construction work on the adjacent property, but we were out for most of the day which made it less bothersome. It was accordingly not a major issue at all. Our host Bertie was very helpful from our arrival until our departure. The wood fired oven was a huge bonus and we found it to be very efficient especially in cold weather. It is fairly small but the adapted container was otherwise cozy and comfortable and the bed of good quality. There were sufficient duvets. The hot tub was a plus with certain criticism (see below). Everything was very neat.

If you want to be in the middle of nature, on the borders of a legendary forest, with the sounds of baboons barking in the distance and the scarlet and red flashes of the Knysna Loerie flying past your windows, this is your place. Absolute quiet but for the birds, views to the back of beyond and cottage comforts.

Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    The 2 bedroom "cabin" was beautifully decked out with a comfortable sofa, comfy beds and a nice wooden outdoor dining setting and deck chairs on the verandah, which had a lovely partial view of the Knysna lagoon. All the kitchen pots, utensils and crockery is Le Creuset, which impressed us, and was nice to use. The braai worked well and kindling and firewood was included. The lovely the lagoon was great for relaxing under the milkwood trees, and to step off for a swim in the lagoon at high tide.
