About Forest Valley Cottages
Forest Valley is the perfect destination, with its low people traffic, fresh air, vast views and plenty of rejuvenating factors. It's a book away-from-it-all spot for honeymoons, anniversaries, recoveries, lovebird hide-aways and anyone wanting time out. Just perfect!
Self Catering Accommodation
We offer self-catering accommodation on the edge of a magnificent indigenous forest valley just outside of Knysna, with glorious views of the Outeniqua Mountains.
Our 8 fully equipped cottages provide stylish, private and comfortable accommodation and a true getaway-from-it-all experience. Experience casual luxury in this sublime setting.
Each Forest Valley cottage has unrivalled views of the breath-taking Knysna forest and surrounding Outeniqua mountain range. Guests have a choice between 8 self-catering romantic hideaways, all valley facing and perfectly equipped with your privacy and comfort in mind. A daily housekeeping service is provided allowing you to truly kick back and simply enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
Some cottages have a spa bath with a view, while the others have a Jacuzzi tub, indoors with a view or outdoors on the deck.
Please see the individual cottage descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.
On Site Facilities
There is a plunge pool, which overlooks the magnificent views, for the use of all the guests. It's like a big Jacuzzi with aim flow jets and seating all around. And for the more active there is a forest trail from the cottages to the bottom of the valley.
Excellent Location
Forest Valley is conveniently located on the Cape Town side of the Knysna Lagoon, a scenic 15-minute car drive from the centre of town or Knysna's pristine blue flag beach and 8 minutes away from the famous Knysna Lagoon.
Whether you are on a tourist, family or romantic visit, our hide-away cottages are sure to please. All are valley facing and perfectly equipped for privacy and comfort.
