Description
Experience TRANQUILITY, ROMANCE & PRIVACY in NATURE at AWARD-WINNING self-catering cottages. Nature-lovers' retreat: birds, game, secluded rock pools, forest walks & biking trails. Sundowners with fireflies and cozy log-fires. Discover the Magic of the Forest.Situated off the beaten track, quietly nestling in the expansive Millwood Indigenous Knysna Forest, Forest Edge offers a haven for nature-loving families, stressed-out city-dwellers, adventurers & honeymooners. Each fully equipped 2-bedroomed gold-mining style cottage houses up to 5 persons. All cottages with GAS stoves for comfort during outages. Forest Edge, with its little extras and personal touches, offers a memorable and affordable break-away experience to remember.
Enjoy an emerald day on Forest walks, picnics or biking trails, lazing in a hammock or at the beach, or on an adventure activity or trip to Knysna town (20 leisurely minutes away). After a refreshing hot-water outdoor shower or relaxing indoor bath, mellow out on the veranda with sundowners. Watch a bushbuck or baboon family drink at the dam. Light a braai (barbecue) under the stars to the chorus of frogs; flitting fireflies and evocative night jars add to the enchantment. In winter, enjoy a book or movie in front of a cozy log-fire.
Country Life Magazine's article on Forest Edge (re Drupkelders forest walk to exquisite rock pools) states: "Lilies cling to the rock face, hanging down in bunches: what a pure Midsummer Nights' Dream experience".Request A Quote
