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.

What an amazing and beautiful place to step into. The staff are so friendly and go out of their way to help with anything you need assistance with. The views from the deck with the sunset are so peaceful and you can feel yourself relax. If you want privacy then you can sit on your personal patio and enjoy the sunset from the comfort of your patio. The rooms are spacious and modern and clean and the bed is very comfy with electric blankets for the cold nights. The food was good value for money!! Def recommend going here, easy to find and not far off the main road.

I think they should alternate the breakfast menu for people staying for 2 nights or more and they should cater/have substitution for people who don't eat pork

    It was so quite and peaceful. Loved how private the lodges are. Our cars parked in the shade😊 The swimming pool was clean and warmer in the evening, we enjoyed swimming at night. Absolutely loved the lights in case of Loadshedding. That was very thoughtful.
