A daily housekeeping service is provided allowing you to truly kick back and simply enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Please see the individual cottage descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

On Site 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.

Excellent Location

Forest Valley is conveniently located on the Cape Town side of the Knysna Lagoon, a scenic 15-minute car drive from the centre of town or Knysna’s pristine blue flag beach and 8 minutes away from the famous Knysna Lagoon.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
