South AfricaThe location of Forest Edge is lovely and peaceful. There are a few accessible walks and activities to do nearby. Dries and Susan were accommodating and we enjoyed the buffet breakfast on the Lily Pond Deck. The nights were quite chilly but electric blankets on all the beds kept us warm.

South AfricaThe location was awesome and the attention to detail in the cottage a real bonus. We really enjoyed our stay and the host we're very friendly. It is a nature's lover's retreat and doing the Drup Kelders hike next to the cottages we're really spectacular.

South AfricaThe cottage was absolutely beautiful, so quiet next to the forest, not far from the hiking trails in the magnificent Knysna Forest. We got loads of interesting information from management which made our stay even better. Will be back soon

This place is truly magical. It is as if the woodcutters' spirit still guards over us and ensures that we never forget how specials this piece of earth is, not just the forest nature scenes or the animals, but the heritage and the rich history.
Forest Edge stole our hearts and rejuvenated our spirits when we first saw it in 2015. I have owned it since June 2016 and have since refurbished the cottages, revived the gardens and injected some much needed passion into our great staff, not to even mention my own personal and detailed touch. I am passionate about this tranquil, private space where my guests can shed some of their stress and re-connect with one another in the healing glow of nature. My guest's smiles are worth more than our dozen awards! Looking forward to meeting you : - )
Rheenendal is such a melting pot of cultures and personalities. Definitely a farming community that cares for each other and that loves sharing our magical area with our guests.
