FOREST EDGE
Type : Self-catering Accommodation
Location : Knysna
Knysna is built on the banks of the Knysna Lagoon, a landlocked estuary fed by the Knysna River and connected with the sea between two great sandstone cliffs, the Knysna Heads. It is a fascinating town and the area in which it is sited is one of the lovely places on earth. The town is famous for its stinkwood, the most prized and beautiful South African indigenous wood.
Description : Experience TRANQUILITY, ROMANCE and PRIVACY in NATURE at multi-award-winning self-catering cottages. Nature-lovers' retreat: birds, game, secluded rock pools, forest walks & biking trails. Sun downers with fireflies and cozy log-fires. Experience the Magic of the Forest.... Situated off the beaten track, Forest Edge quietly nestles in the expansive Milkwood Indigenous Knysna Forest on the magnificent Garden Route in the Western Cape. Forest Edge offers a vacation haven for nature-loving families, stressed-out city-dwellers, adventurers & honeymooners. Each fully equipped 2-bed roomed gold-mining style cottage accommodates up to 5 persons. Forest Edge, with its little extras and personal touches, offers a memorable and affordable break-away holiday experience to remember. Enjoy an emerald day on Forest walks, picnics or biking trails, horse riding nearby, canoe at the 'Drift', enjoy a massage, laze in a hammock or at the beach, or on an adventure activity or trip to Knysna town (20 leisurely minutes away). After a refreshing hot-water outdoor shower or relaxing indoor bath, mellow out on the verandah with sun downers. Watch a bush buck or baboon family drink at the dam. Light a braai (barbecue) under the stars to the chorus of frogs; flitting fireflies and evocative nightjars add to the enchantment. In winter, enjoy a book or video in front of a cozy log-fire...
