    “Peaceful rest perfectly situated.
    Friendly reception from owners and the 2 dogs were happy to play with our 2 teenagers. Clean wooden cabin very well-equipped for self-catering. Peaceful and healthy sleep in the forest. Location is perfectly situated between Plett and Knysna and to visit many nearby animal sanctuaries (wolves, raptures) or past Plett (wild cats, birds, monkeys) or a 40 min drive to Nature’s Valley for a 5 km forest hike to Salt River meets the ocean, beautiful view. Nearly no WiFi, so perfect occasion to involve the family in a game of 30 seconds or charades!”

    “Great place to stay.
    It was a cold weekend when we were there but the cabins were equipped with nice warm blankets. The cabin itself was nice and cozy and warm. The cabin does need a little maintenance, but nothing serious. Also I stayed in the Banana Cabin and would like you to have maybe seating around the fireplace as I saw at some of the cabins. You do have nature all around you, and it feels like you are deep in the forest, although you can still hear the traffic. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back in a heartbeat. If you want peace and quiet give it a try.”

    Close to nature and animals. No cell reception and this is great when you just need to escape.”

    Guest review

    “Lovely! Peace and quiet and so much more.
    Totally comfortable, has everything one needs in a self-catering cabin. Will be back in summer so that I can braai with the bokkies looking on. Karin (the owner) is a really lovely lady. Thanks for everything Karin!”
