We were really surprised in what we found at Forest Edge. It is really the best of both worlds, we were near Knysna, but also in nature where you can recharge your batteries. We went for the most enjoyable hikes through the forest to the Drupkelders and other routes with the most beautiful ferns under the forest canopy. The area... More

Its the perfect location, in the heart of the knysna forest. With a rich history (espesially fo Dalene Mathee fans.) Close to everything you want from a holiday at Knysna - 20mins from Knysna Quays, 15mins from Buffel's Baai, 35mins from Noetzie beach, around the corner from the 'circles in the forest' walk and the 'drup kelders' walk. And as... More

Loved our stay; we were immediately charmed by Forest Edge, arriving in the dark to hear the noise of frogs and waking up next morning to discover what a special place this is. The night sky and stars are amazing. Having breafast on the veranda every morning and a barbeque every evening has felt like a real treat. The swim... More

Forest Edge is the ideal place to explore the many worth seeing places in Knysna and surroundings. We really enjoyed the beautiful, tidy and functional cottage and we appreciated Ronèl and her staff's friendliness and hospitality.

We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary this April, and were excited to book into Forest Edge as our second last stop. We'd heard so many good things about it. Everything was perfect - we saw hundreds of stars in the clear black sky at night while enjoying a braai outside. My favourite part was waking up early and having... More

This is truly a little gem tucked away on the edge of the forest! We are avid mountain bikers and discovered new and challlenging trails in the area to test our fitness and skill levels. Returning to the cottage to "bonk out" on the hammock and recover in the sun was a welcome relief. Thank you Ronel for your hospitality... More
