Forest Hills Taaibos Cottage is situated in Knysna and is an ideal spot for couples, families, and nature lovers to relax and unwind. The self-catering accommodation is set in private indigenous gardens and lawns that lead to the natural forest.
Taaibos Cottage is a historical 2-bedroom traditional thatched round house, comprising 3 joined rondavels. The cottage is privately positioned and comfy and features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The main bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed while the second bedroom contains 2 single beds. Guests share a separate bathroom fitted with a bath and shower.
The cottage's open-plan living area includes a lounge, a dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, oven, stove, microwave, and coffee- and tea-making facilities. From the large deck outside, guests can enjoy braai facilities and admire the lovely views of the indigenous forest and the Outeniqua mountains in the distance.
Facilities on the property include a swimming pool with a pool slide and a trampoline. Paths from the gardens lead to a short circular walk around the property, through forest, and fynbos, past a dam and a large lookout deck on the edge of the forest. If you are lucky you may spot bushbuck, boar, caracal, monkeys, and baboons that visit Forest Hills occasionally. The Knysna loerie can often be seen with a flash of red as it swoops along the forest edge, and at times the call of the fish eagle can be heard. Forest Hills is a birder's paradise.
Forest Hills Self-catering Cottages is conveniently positioned 16 km from Knysna and 20 km from Buffels Bay. The forest offers several day hikes and mountain bike tracks, as well as picnic spots along the river. Buffels Bay has a swimming beach and unspoiled stretches of coastline.

22 guests' feedbackWe stayed in Sagewood cottage and everything was neat, clean and beautiful. Lovely, comfortable large cottage with a lovely veranda and the most beautiful view. Our dogs really enjoyed the walking route.
Always a great stay. Well equipped, comfortable and a beautiful view.
Nice stay in the beautiful cottage, very nice and spacious area with porch.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at ForestHills in Rheenendal for a weekend, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment I arrived on Friday, I was welcomed by the serene surroundings and the warm hospitality of the hosts. The accommodation was spotless, well-equipped, and offered stunning views of the surrounding forest. It was the perfect blend of comfort and nature, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. On Saturday, I embarked on a hike through the Kringe in die bos trail, which offered breathtaking scenery at every turn. It was such a delight to return to ForestHills after my outdoor adventures and relax in such a peaceful setting. The entire weekend was truly refreshing, and I highly recommend ForestHills to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. I will definitely be back!
Very nice stay. The Sagewood cottage is perfect for a getaway.
Lovely stay, had everything we needed. A beautiful setting and our host was friendly and helpful .
Spacious cottage with everything you need in a beautiful location.
This cottage is a must-stay in the Garden Route. The place is up the mountains and very quiet and peaceful with an amazing view. With a nice walkway for a short walk. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this.
Sagewood Cottage is a gem! It is equipped for two people, but it is much more spacious than the photos reveal. The view from the porch is amazing and the setting is quiet and private. The entire cottage is thoughtfully laid out, spacious and comfortable. Absolutely beautiful! The fireplace in the bedroom is amazing and was an absolute treat for our winter visit. Caron is a fantastic hostess who immediately made us feel welcome. We appreciated the peace and quiet so much. We will definitely book this accommodation again. It was the perfect getaway and fed our soul the few days we spent on the estate. Really!
The cottage was well-appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed the short walks into the forest on the property as well as the viewing deck! We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return one day.
The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. The space was well-equipped and generous with firewood. We entertained family during our stay and the home was very comfortable for that. If it hadn't been so very cold the pool would have been a delight.
We arrived late - during load shedding, but check-in was quick and easy - the house was ready for us. The beds were comfortable. Only 1 bathroom for 5 adults - but we managed just fine. Forest Hills is really a lovely spot - would love to return in summer.
We loved relaxing on the stoep. The house was bigger than I was expecting and very nice and clean. Our bed was very comfortable with clean, crisp linen. Will definitely be back.
Taaibos Cottage is spacious, with two bedrooms, a large living area and kitchen with everything you can think of for a family getaway. A beautiful manicured lawn, swimming pool with slide and trampoline for the children. The view over the valley is indescribably beautiful! There are some short and safe walks through the native forest that will suit everyone's fitness levels. Our evenings ended with a barbecue and the charming call of a night owl that was probably only a few meters away. Taaibos Cottage is without a doubt highly recommended! Nos. I have to mention it, because it's unheard of for us. The shower's water is immediately hot!
Get up for that sunrise.
Situated off the N2 on-route to Rheenendal in Knysna, this accommodation has it all, from a tranquil swimming pool, to Wi-Fi and Netflix. We were a family of five and was easily accommodated. The cottage we stayed in had very comfy seating in the lounge area and there was a big screen television set. I love the architecture and the surroundings was absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this cottage.
An amazing place with amazing views. The view is an extra bonus and the fireplace in the bedroom. Quiet and remote. We even stayed another night longer. We will definitely return.
We stayed at Sagewood Cottage where we were welcomed by the host. We were pleasantly surprised by the large outdoor veranda, which includes a table tennis table, hammock and dart board. There is also an outdoor trampoline to enjoy. The cottage was well-equipped and comfortable.
The cottage is surrounded with nature's beauty and sounds - would have loved to stay longer but will definitely be back. A bonus was the picturesque view and beautiful decor and tranquility of the cottage!
Easy to find. Brilliant location.
It's quite far outside Knysna, 10km NNW, on the edge of the forest. The Taaibos "cottage" is a large space of interconnected rondawels with 2 bedrooms, a huge kitchen and lounge, a lavish bathroom and a big deck with a braai and pool and beautiful view over the Rheenendal valley. Right from the back door, you can go on walks deep into the wild indigenous forest. Buck and loeries come into the garden (sometimes baboons too, I believe). The hosts are friendly and relaxed.
The cottage is centrally located for guests who want to explore the garden route.
