Forest Edge offers 2-bedroom cottages, all fully-equipped and fitted with a veranda and a fireplace. Guests can rejuvenate with a hot, outdoor shower or in the in-room bath. They all feature a braai barbecue and a hammock.
At Forest Edge, guests can experience a day full of greenery on forest walks, picnics or mountain-bike trails. You could also simply laze in a hammock, watch a movie by the log fire or visit Knysna and its breathtaking lagoon, just 20 minutes away.
