The School, Rheenendal Garden Route

A place of Soulful living.  A unique farm-style stay in an old Farm School

The School was recently restored to its new and present glory after standing vacant for some 15 years. Great care was taken to keep most of the original building and its features. Old wooden floors, rafters, sash windows and remnants of old playing fields are testament to this.

An entire schoolroom has been kept intact, with 80 year old chalkboards still on the walls. This room hosts creative workshops and retreats  keeping this a place of learning, of creative endeavour, restoration and wellbeing.

There are two bedrooms en-suite for guests who attend workshops or for those who simply need a little RR in a beautiful rural setting. The Cottage is being traditionally restored with polished dung floors and adobe walls. It is self catering and will be ready from December.

Rheenendal is rich with forest meanders, hiking trails and scenic drives. We are 20 minutes from Knysna and Sedgefield for restaurants, activities and stunning beaches.

    “Stylish, relaxing escape

    Carefully and beautifully renovated old school buildings create a stunning space to escape to. The School is surrounded by farms with gorgeous country views. The gorgeous big bedrooms with great contemporary design in the decor within a sensitive renovation that keeps original elements like the blackboards. Great walks in the countryside or the nearby forest as well as endless cycle tracks for biking enthusiasts. Janet is a wonderful accommodating host. This a place to visit for the endless nearby attractions of Belvedere, Brenton and Knysna or a really cool spot to write, read, relax and exhale.”
