The location was amazing. The staff are so friendly. The scenery makes me daydream still. The place absolutely took my breath away. The heater and electric blankets were more than enough to keep us warm. The bath with the view stole my heart 😍😍😍. We milked some cows and fed the baby calves, the cutest thing I've seen in my life. The home made ice cream is a MUST HAVE! I loved the peace and tranquility. Absolutely amazing experience. I can't wait to go back.

Fernhill guest farm is perfect for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed the farm animals and the beautiful scenery. The location was great because it is close to Knysna.

Ariane South Africa

The treehouses are amazing. They offer private views of the forest. We really just wanted to get away from the city and have a good rest and we were able to do just that. The baby cows are adorable. Also - they make the best ice -cream in the entire world! We will stay here again in a few weeks!

Lynette South Africa

We loved how welcome the hosts made us feel right from the start. The tent we stayed in was so clean and comfy and yet in nature. We absolutely loved the farm experience and the farm walk as well as the homemade ice cream and fresh milk.

Marilie South Africa

Lisa Germany

We love the view.. The location.. Mia is the owner and she made us feel so welcome.. They have the best brownies and ice cream.. Fresh air.. Just amazing

Desiree South Africa

Hidden gem with an amazing view. When we arrived we found some brownies and a message from the owners waiting for us on the bed. The tent itself has anything you need and more and is very clean, which is not a given considering the type of accommodation. We really enjoyed the bath tub and the heated blanked on a chilly night...saver! Waking up with the monkeys on the nearby trees was really the cherry on the cake!

Mattia Luxembourg

The setting of the tented tree house is really great, and the friendly owners included the children in milking the cows, and made us feel part of the family. The home-made ice-cream, made by their daughter is worth another visit.

  • Is there enough signal there to bring your own internet and work from there?
    Yes - the cellphone reception is good and portable wifi routers work in the tents. We just made a choice not to have wifi in the tents. Our farm cottages are more spacious and have wifi if staying for longer periods and you have to work remotely.

  • Is it easy to get to resort by car
    Yes it is, the last 2km is a gravel road on the farm, but accessible with a car.

Property information

The Tented Treehouses, set in a small forest on the farm. Each tent with its own wooden deck with tree views of the forest. The tents can accommodate up to 4 persons and is furnished with king-size beds. The family units either has a sleeper couch in the tent or bunk beds in the room below the tents. The wood-paneled en-suite bathroom is equipped with a spa bath and an overhead shower. Electric blankets, fans, heaters, as well as linen and towels, are provided. Each of the tents is also equipped with a small kitchenette, braai, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. For those who enjoy walks, there are many beautiful trails on the 56-hectare farm. This area is also very popular with mountain bikers, so bring your bicycle and explore this region that forms part of the 7 Passes Route between Knysna and George. We are situated in a conservancy, so in addition to the farm animals, there is a lot of free roaming wildlife including bushbuck, bush pigs, leopard, monkeys, baboons, porcupines and a large variety of birds, so don't forget the binoculars.

Neighbourhood information

Life slows down as you turn onto Highway West, a beautiful country road, leading you to Fernhill Guest Farm, which is situated just outside Knysna in the beautiful area of Rheenendal. This area is known for its magical ancient forests, cycling and hiking trails, and cute eateries like the Famous Tottie's Farm Kitchen, where every meal is an occasion. Fernhill is a mere 15 minute drive to Knysna and the beautiful beach at Buffalo Bay, while only being 20 minutes away from Sedgefield, with its ever popular Saturday Wild Oats Market, so you will be spoiled for choice when looking for places to visit.
