Off the beaten track, quietly nestling in the Millwood Indigenous Knysna Forest, Garden Route, Western Cape: Forest Edge offers a self-catering vacation haven for nature-loving families, stressed-out city-dwellers, adventurers and honeymooners. Each fully equipped 2-bedroom cottage houses up to 5 persons. Forest Edge accommodation offers an authentic, memorable and affordable break-away holiday experience.

Experience an emerald day on Forest walks, picnics or biking trail adventures, lazing in a hammock, or visit the beach or Knysna town (20min away). Rejuvenate in a hot-water outdoor shower or indoor bath. Mellow out on the chalet verandah, watching birds or buck drink at the dam. Light a braai(barbecue) under the stars; flitting fireflies and evocative nightjars add to the enchantment. In winter enjoy a book or movie by the cosy log-fire.
