A place of peace and quiet in the most beautiful scenery. We are back after 20 years and the place is more beautiful than ever. Well maintained with nice extensions and excellent personal service. This is an any time of the year getaway. We love winter here, because the houses are wonderfully cosy. The fireplace is always a winner.

'n Plek van rus en vrede in die pragtigste natuurskoon. Ons is terug na 20 jaar en die plek is mooier as ooit tevore. Goed versorg met mooi uitbreidings en uitstekende persoonlike diens. Hierdie is 'n enige tyd van die jaar-wegbreekplek. Ons is mal oor die winter hier, want die huisies is heerlik gesellig. Die kaggeltjie altyd 'n wenner.

Beautiful scenery, peace and quiet in a lovely little house with everything one needs. If you like peace and quiet, away from the city, Forest Edge is for you. Apart from the distant sounds of a shooting range on one of the nearby farms on the weekends or a tractor during the week, you can truly relax and appreciate nature from the privacy of your own hammock on your forest-facing porch. (One quickly gets used to the single gunshots and tractor engine when one realizes what it is and it shows how far sound can travel in such a quiet place). The caretaker and his wife are lovely friendly people and the cleaning of the cottage was done in such a way that you never felt for a moment that your privacy was being invaded. As it were, the cottage feels so private that one is not even aware of the other guests. The cottage is equipped with all the amenities you could dream of needing on such a stay, with a few extras such as outdoor shower, hammock, picnic blanket, books and DVDs. I hope to visit again soon.

Pragtige natuurskoon, rustigheid en stilte in 'n lieflike huisie met alles wat 'n mens benodig. As jy hou van rustigheid en kalmte, weg van die stad, is Forest Edge vir jou. Behalwe vir die veraf geluide vanaf 'n skietbaan op een van die nabygeleë plase oor naweke of 'n trekker in die week, kan jy werklikwaar ontspan en die natuur waardeer uit die privaatheid van jou eie hangmat op jou stoep wat woudwaarts wys. (Mens raak vinnig gewoond aan die enkele geweerskote en trekkerenjin as mens besef wat dit is en dit wys mens hoe ver klank kan trek in so 'n stil plek). Die opsigter en sy vrou is dierbare vriendelike mense en die skoonmaak van die huisie is op so 'n manier gedoen dat mens vir geen oomblik gevoel het daar word inbraak op mens se privaatheid gemaak nie. As te ware, die huisie voel so privaat dat mens selfs nie bewus is van die ander gaste nie. Die huisie is toegerus met al die toebehore waaroor jy kan droom om op so 'n verblyf te benodig, met 'n paar ekstras soos buitestort, hangmat, piekniekkombers, boeke en DVD's. Ek hoop om binnekort weer 'n besoek af te lê.

Great. Lovely - the fireplace was great for cold nights. The outdoor shower was a nice feature, even in winter (as long as it's not raining).

Three-day visit with my wife. Very nice cottage. The road is not the best for a small car. Hiking trails are nice and close and at a good price. We had a very nice stay here.

Drie-dag besoek saam met my vrou. Baie mooi cottage. Die pad is nie die beste vir 'n klein kar nie. Staproetes is lekker naby en teen 'n goeie prys. Ons het baie lekker hier gebly.

Thank you very much for your support and review Koos, we really appreciate it! We are very happy that you enjoyed Forest Edge and the Knysna forest so much with us. As for the piece of dirt road, we have reported it to the Provincial Roads Dept and they are working on fixing it after the heavy rains and washouts we had a few weeks back.

Baie Dankie vir julle ondersteuning en resensie Koos, ons waardeer dit opreg! Ons is baie bly julle het Forest Edge en die Knysna woud so baie saam met ons geniet. Wat die stukkie grondpad aan betref, ons het dit geraporteer aan die Provinsiale Paaie Dept en hullle werk daaraan om dit reg te maak na die erge reens en verspoelings wat ons so paar weke terug gehad het.

Incredible peace and tranquillity. A piece of paradise. Enormously recommended. A beautiful sanctuary at the edge of the Knysna forest. Perfect for unwinding, shutting out the bustle of the 'real world'. Cottages are quaint and well appointed with everything you need. Lovely small touches like fresh flowers make the experience even more lovely. Great staff. Easy access to some of the most beautiful walks in our country. Forest Edge is amazing.

Relaxing break away weekend at Forest Edge . We enjoyed the welcome by the host, excellent quality and attention to detail in the units, the books available, good quality Wi-Fi. The property is well kept and neat. Tranquil surroundings in refreshing to be so close to the forest. We enjoyed Forest walks. Great Fun!

Lovely, peaceful surroundings with frogs croaking at night and birds chirping during the day. Pleasure for the soul. All that bothered, and I took it up with management. We booked Forest Edge, among others, because a queen-size bed was advertised. However, it is a double bed and very uncomfortable, the mattress was also old. My husband must have gone to sleep in the other room later. Will definitely go again if the bed problem is fixed.

Heerlike, rustige omgewing met paddas wat kwaak saans en voëls wat kwetter bedags. Lafenis vir die siel. Al wat gepla het, en ek het dit met die bestuur opgeneem. Ons het o.a by Forest Edge bespreek, omdat 'n koningingrootte-bed adverteer is. Dit is egter 'n dubbelbed en baie ongemaklik, die matras was ook al oud. My man moes later in die ander kamer gaan slaap het. Sal beslis weer gaan as die bed probleem opgelos is.
