Excellent and elegant!

Very peaceful. Very well stocked home, beautifully decorated. High quality furniture and utensils, firewood, etc.

Just a bit cold - but very nice fire place.

An enchanted cottage on the edge of the Knysna forest

This was our second stay and we return for its exquisitely beautiful setting on the edge of the Knysna Forest in a magical garden. The cottage itself is enchanting and beautifully decorated.

The only word to describe this place is a piece of heaven. The farm is incredibly beautiful and well maintained, and you can walk around and enjoy pure nature. It’s spacious enough that you truly feel like you’re out in the wild. The cottage we stayed in is a piece of art — it has everything you need. Just bring your groceries and you could easily live there forever. The view from the balcony is breathtaking; I can assure you it’s one of the best views you will ever experience. Huge thanks to Dan for his warm hospitality and kindness. He was so thoughtful and checked on us many times to make sure we were comfortable. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy this amazing place again.

The location on the verge of the indigenous forest is absolutely superb; the bird life is exceptional and one can sit on the veranda for days and just enjoy the surroundings. The cottage is spacious and beautifully decorated, and the gardens on the property are something not to be missed, especially the roses.

Fantastisch, aanrader!

Fantastische locatie middenin de natuur en een prachtig aangelegde tuin. Smaakvol ingerichte cottage met waanzinnige veranda. Om de hoek het National Park met de yellow tree van ca 880 jaar oud.

Het bed is smal en kort
