Knysna Accommodation / Forest Valley Cottages Accommodation in Knysna / Self Catering Cottages in Knysna

Top luxury, beautiful and romantic hideaways. These deluxe suites are built high, at treetop level, with awesome views of indigenous forest valleys and the mountains beyond. The cottages are stylishly and individually furnished with a natural contemporary feel.

Accommodation


The 2 bed-roomed or family units have a modern deep shower, double bed in the main bedrooms, which overlook the view, and two single beds in the second room. There is a double sleeper couch and a baby cot in one of these cottages.

All cottages have a wood-burning fireplace for wintry nights, DSTV and CD. The kitchens are fully equipped for self catering, including a small dishwasher (in one of the cottages), microwave, small oven, fridge/freezer, etc. Fans supplied in each unit.

We supply a complimentary basket of firewood in winter, tea / coffee and chocolates on arrival. The cottages are serviced daily (excluding Sunday and public holidays) and are private and safe.

The “honeymoon suites” each have a plush Queen-size bed with quality linens; a Jacuzzi / spa bath opens to the gorgeous view on the decks. We supply nice bath goodies and lots of candles so you can bubble away.

Some units have a private courtyard complete with lapa and BBQ. Other units have BBQ Webbers on the deck high up, from where you can enjoy the forest night animal calls and the awesome views. All the decks are very private and are equipped with a table and chairs, a Webber BBQ and some have a hammock.

Facilities


There is a plunge pool, which overlooks the magnificent views, for the use of all the guests. It's like a big Jacuzzi with aim flow jets and seating all around. And for the more active there is a forest trail from the cottages to the bottom of the valley.

Start your day in a languid fashion, lazing in the hammock or enjoying breakfast on the sunny decks drinking in the awesome views that stretch on forever in front of you. The valley is ever-changing in its moods. Enjoy watching and listening to the many birds from this high perch as well.

Enjoy a forest hike from your cottage, down into the valley (about an hour). On a sunny day, relax in one of the loungers next to the Jacuzzi / type pool and savour the views from there too. Outdoor braais can be lit at the pool area, so make a day of it.

Attractions & Activities


Forest Valley is also en-route to the state forest, with many rambles, picnic spots and even the old goldmines can be explored. Tea and cake can be enjoyed at the quaint Mother Holly Tearoom in the forest. Enjoy a horse riding outride, which can be arranged nearby.
Beautiful swimming beaches, rivers and lagoon nearby for fishing and canoeing. Mashie golf course nearby.

Visit the country restaurants around or take your pick from the many in Knysna town. Saturday morning Harvestime market in Sedgefield should definitely not be missed. Massages and pamper treatments can be booked nearby.

Then return to your secluded cocoon of comfort, light a fire, gaze at the stars and listen to the night sounds.
