Located off the beaten track, nestling quietly in the Millwood Indigenous Knysna Forest, in the Garden Route, South Africa, Forest Edge offers a self-catering holiday haven for stressed-out city-dwellers, adventurers, nature-loving families and honeymooners. Each fully equipped two bedroom cottage can accommodate up to five people. Forest Edge accommodation offers an authentically African, memorable and affordable break-away from the stresses of everyday life.

Experience a glorious day on forest walks, biking trail adventures, picnics or lazing in a hammock, or visit one of the many beautiful beaches or picturesque Knysna town (20mins away). Rejuvenate in a hot-water outdoor shower or spacious indoor bath. Chill out on the veranda, watching birds or buck drink at the dam. Light up the braai(South African word for barbeque) under the stars and watch the flitting fireflies and evocative nightjars add to the enchantment. In winter keep warm and enjoy a movie or a book by the cosy log-fire.
