DIRECTIONS: From the N2 between Sedgefield and Knysna: About 1.5km west of the Knysna lagoon bridge, turn north onto the Rheenendal road. After 11.5km, just past the Rheenendal Petrol Station, turn right at the Bibby's Hoek sign. Follow the dirt road for 2.2km. Turn left at the intersection and continue for 1.5km. Forest Edge is the last property on this road: tranquility at its best! The dirt roads are quite passable even by small cars - if you have a very low / sports car or if you are especially concerned, please enquire about conditions.
