Vacation Rental Description

EXPERIENCE TRANQUILITY, ROMANCE & PRIVACY in NATURE at one of SA's BEST (AA: Highly Recommended & 2008 National Award Winner). Nature-lovers' retreat: birds, game, secluded rock pools, forest walks & biking trails. Sundowners with fireflies and cosy log-fires. Experience the Magic of the Forest....

Situated off the beaten track, Forest Edge Garden Route holiday villa is quietly nestled in the expansive Millwood Indigenous Knysna Forest on the magnificent Garden Route in the Western Cape. Forest Edge rental villa offers a self-catering vacation haven for nature-loving families, stressed-out city-dwellers, adventurers & honeymooners. Each fully equipped 2-bedroomed gold-mining style cottage houses up to 5 persons. Forest Edge accommodation, with its little extras and personal touches, offers a memorable and affordable break-away holiday experience to remember.

Enjoy an emerald day on Forest walks, picnics or biking trails, lazing in a hammock or at the bech, or on an adventure activity or trip to Knysna town (20 leisurely minutes away). After a refreshing hot-water outdoor shower or relaxing indoor bath, mellow out on the chalet verandah with sundowners. Watch a bushbuck or baboon family drink at the dam. Light a braai(barbeque) under the stars to the chorus of frogs; flitting fireflies and evocative nightjars add to the enchantment. In winter, enjoy a book or video in front of a cozy log-fire...

Country Life Magazine's article on Forest Edge (re Drupkelders forest walk to exquisite rock pools) states: "Lilies cling to the rockface, hanging down in bunches: what a pure Midsummer Nights' Dream experience"
