An expensive but unique experience. You park at the lower level and are taken up and away high into the tree line. Lodges are at different levels but go for the Upper Camp. Ours was called Arum and had breathtaking views and was not overlooked. Glass walls give a great outdoor feel. The terrace had its own great outdoor sunken... more

My wife and I stayed at the Phantom Forest Eco Reserve for two nights during our "Garden Route Tour" recently. It is a very unusual resort, but once you get acclaimated, it is truly a remarkable experience. The staff and food were by far the best parts of our experience. Dinner at Chutspah is something not to be missed! The... more

We have just returned from South Africa and during our holiday stayed in 10 different accommodations. This was by far the most expensive but unfortunately not the best, in fact to be honest quite disappointing. First observation were the staff, not friendly at all, too businesslike almost bordering on pompous. It is a lovely place but the food wasn't excellent... more

Phantom Forest can only be described as lush. A 3 day surprise stay tagged onto the end of our honeymoon, this place is relaxation in nature at its best. The Classic Tree Suite rooms can only be described as a treehouse perched on stilts amongst the trees. The bathroom has a floor to ceiling window giving the feeling of showering... more

Lodge with private huts build on poles in the middle of the forest. Luxury rooms with extraordinary bathroom with forest view. We were awakened by the vervet monkeys jumping on our roof and spectacular birds singing. There is some noise from the N2 highway, which is under construction. But the place in the middle of the forest is so charming,... more

This "eco lodge resort" is perfect for a relaxing couple of days. Perched on the side a a hill overlooking Knysna lagoon the wooden cottages may be eco friendly but are also luxurious and private. Bathroom and showers with open windows to the world,but no possibility of anyone looking in add to the attrcativeness of the location. Good food in... more

The rooms in this hotel are great, loved the privacy, the outdoor bathing and the forest experience. I was not overly impressed by the rest of the lodge, the food was not great and frankly - why have a moroccan restaurant when you could just present good quality south african cuisine? The dinners were overpriced and the breakfast average. The... more

We stayed at the Phantom Forest during our honeymoon and would recommend it to anyone! The service was impeccable, the accommodation out of this world and the food was to die for. It was a truly wonderful experience!!! more

Superb lodge within the forest. Very friendly and helpful staff. The resort can only be reached by a shuttle service. The quality of the food is up to the highest standards. You would never expect such a beautiful place in the forest. Everything is clean and well kept. more
