148 guests' feedbackThe scenery is fantastic! Love the jacuzzi and the fireplace inside the cottage. Had a great time and is very clean and tidy!
Peaceful, beautiful view. Private.
Fantastic place, location and atmosphere and view.
The most magical stay in a long time. Quiet forests. Romantic. Awesome vistas. Excellent service.
Beautiful cottages, everything you need is there and it's close to Knysna and the park (Dalene Matthee memorial stone, big tree and walking trails). Place is beautifully maintained and luxuriously furnished. Was lucky to be visited by a peep!
Wonderful stay, tranquility and natural beauty. Everything was kept tidy and the people helpful.
Absolutely stunning and tranquil. Had an amazing stay.
Had a wonderful stay. The place is very neat and the view is beautiful.
Awesome! The driveway for Forest Valley Cottages is a bit steep for a small car with 'low power'. Maybe cementing all the way can help. But it was a comfortable stay.
Forrest Valley Cottages are stylish, clean, tidy and very private with a beautiful view.
Great place for a wedding anniversary. Think it's a bit expensive, but the location makes you soon forget about the price you paid!
Most beautiful place. Good service with a very nice view.
Beautiful place with so much natural beauty. Nicely furnished for relaxation. Would love to visit again. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Most beautiful view in your private cottage. Peace of mind, the owner really tried to accommodate us comfortably with the load shedding. He sent regular follow-up messages to keep us informed of load shedding times and washed out roads.
Perfect getaway, beautiful location. Five star place with everything you need. I can definitely recommend it. The farm has its own hiking trail as well.
The apartment was modern and clean. It has everything you need for a relaxed stay. The views of the valley are great and the area is peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend.
Our family stayed in Lavender Edge and the kids can't wait to go back - we were thoroughly spoiled by Mark who turned on the hot tub before we got there. The cottages are well-equipped and the scenery is spectacular. Would highly recommend it. Thanks, Mark for sharing with us.
Neat and clean. Everything works. Very friendly. Will want to go back again.
Our stay place was really amazing. I ordered a bunch of roses for my wife through them. They made her vacation starting there amazing. The view over the forest is something you have to experience. The service was great.
Such a calm, stress-free atmosphere! Lovely massage (balcony) with the smell of nature and bird sounds.
What an amazing experience; beautiful!
We enjoyed our stay a lot.
Our power had been off most of the time with Eskom mainline problems. The staff and management communicated everything thoroughly and helped where they could.
Booked 2 nights, checked out early the first morning because of rude management and still had to pay for both nights.
Such an awesome hideaway. Yet still close to the town centre. Romantic, beautiful. just the best experience ever! Would suggest this to anyone who seeks a place for a weekend away or a full holiday experience. What an awesome host!
Forest Valley is one of the best places I've experienced of all of the places I've stayed. It will rejuvenate you.
Excellent accommodation super views and the finest attention to detail.
Very nice and neat. Fantastic stay.
Friendly welcome. Very good cleaning and make-up service. Very private.
It is very peaceful. Away from other houses. And really very comfortably furnished.
Very well located. Excellent service.
Is a destination for any honeymoon.
It was very romantic! The most beautiful view! Nice hot tub under the stars. The weather was perfect, a bit cold and raining went perfectly with the fireplace. Fantastic!
A wonderful 3 day stay as part of our honeymoon. The unit is modern, is equipped with everything one needs and even if other units are nearby, the unit is completely private.
Loved this stunning spot with the family. Stunning mountain views, and very peaceful. The accommodation went out of their way to secure the balcony as our 1-year-old was with us and we really appreciated that. The accommodation itself was wonderful as it had everything we needed. It was cleaned daily so we really appreciated the house being cleaned. The cottage is well stocked with almost everything you could need. They even had a generator on during peak periods for load shedding. That was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this place. The location was also perfect for us as we wanted to be central but also have that remote feeling which allowed us to see other parts of Knysna that we would not typically have seen on the beaten tourist track. My only drawback is the no wifi. Other than that. This place was perfect.
Very nice chalet with all the necessities, and centrally located to explore the Garden Route.
The jets for the bathtub only need to be rinsed.
Based on pictures and the reviews submitted here, we expected Forest Valley to be an amazing experience, but this was not the case. We booked the Lavender, so the review will be based on my experience in the unit. I knew that we were up for a worst experience when we were checking in at the room that is regarded as reception. While there are views, it's a bit difficult to enjoy the views because of the large bush that has grown blocking the views. Cleaning staff does not come on Sundays, even on the days that they are coming they will do the bare minimum. No change of towels for the four days that we were there. The dishwashing liquid supplied to the unit appears to be filled with water. The Nespresso machine is not working, it requires hours to fill a cup. The bath salts provided appeared to be plain salt. The bath and jacuzzi are very old. The jacuzzi water is very old and I recommend not to use it, consider adding your own water if it's possible. I had a rash after using the jacuzzi water, apparently caused by the germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The water in the shower does not get to be drained, it's blocked. No WiFi. I stayed at many similarly priced places around the Garden Route and this is by far the worst value for money we have experienced. I truly feel cheated having paid more than R2000 a night. Please note there are some good things that I can not write an essay about, also there are a lot of horrible things that I did not mention above. If you don’t want to spoil your holiday I would very strongly suggest that you not consider Forest Valley.
We stayed here for 2 days of our honeymoon and had an amazing time! Very luxurious, great views, and nice and quiet. Would recommend to anyone!
Lavender moon, we came to spend our partial honeymoon here. Beautiful neat accommodation, most beautiful view. Luckily we had good weather so we could enjoy the outdoor Jacuzzi, very relaxing. The hiking trail is also a must. Excellent service and quick to help if needed, will come again and try one of the other cottages too.
I would go there anytime.
Incredibly beautiful and private.
If you enjoy the forest, this place is for you. Each cottages has an incredible view of the valley! They are very clean and provide ample space to relax and unwind. The area has a ton to do and great restaurants to try out. One of our favourite stops on our honeymoon!
We had a lovely stay at Forest Valley Cottages. It is perfectly located, peaceful and quiet, but close enough to Knysna should you need something from the shop. You can cycle and walk - perfect for outdoor activities. The cottage is small, but you have everything you need. It is private and the neighbours don't bother you. Definitely value for money.
The view and location are beautiful, but not necessarily worth the price. The kitchen in particular was old and neglected. It needs some work. For the price per night one would only expect luxury in all rooms.
Would definitely be going back. So peaceful and relaxing.
We were very well received. This was our favorite place to stay during our week in Knysna. View is special.
Very happy with the accommodation and set up of the place.
Thank you to Mark for his hospitality and helpfulness. If you have not been to Knysna, he will make some recommendations and indicate where you need to go on a map. It is very quiet and the location in nature makes it just the beste getaway opportunity. Thanks again.
There are not enough words to describe how beautiful our stay was. We decided to go every year from now on, so romantic & lovely!
My wife and I had been there on our honeymoon. We had a lovely time in the forest. The room was very modern and tidy with nice amenities.
See stars.
It really creates a very peaceful environment where one can really switch off.
Well furnished, clean, tidy and good service. It was delicious, thank you!
Many thanks to Mark's hospitality. If you need him, he is there, without disturbing you unnecessarily. It's private, calm, peaceful and just what you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Great location. Beautiful view. Wonderful self-catering units. We had a lovely stay, and a much needed break. Thank you!
We had an amazing stay in the Blue Sky Cottage. Every part of our cottage's kitchen, bathroom, living area and sleeping area was beautiful, newly done, modern and had a luxurious feel. Even the gas braai was top of its range. The view is breathtaking and the outdoor spa bath was the biggest, nicest treat. We only stayed one night, but immediately asked if we could just stay there for the rest of the long weekend (it was booked well in advance of course - so we'll definitely be going back soon for the full weekend experience).
Excellent, awesome and lovely, do not hesitate - book now!
Mark is very helpful. We had a wonderful stay in the Blue Sky cottage with a fantastic view. Good value for money.
Romantic location. Well appointed. All that was missing was a barbecue bowl. It was unforgettable. Will definitely recommend and visit again.
Forrest Valley Cottages I really recommend. It has a beautiful view from the veranda as well as from the bath and outside shower. The best of all is the fireplace in the cottage.
Incredible experience. The cottage is very well located and feels like you're in another world. Nice close to the city and only a short drive to get food etc.
In nature, it can smell when you are outside. Nice view and house very comfortable. Really enjoyed hot tub outside. Although it is outside Knysna, it is still close enough to get to all the attractions.
It's a bit out of the way, but the privacy, view and birdsong in the morning are wonderful to wake up to. You just have to make sure you take everything you want to eat with you, because it's a bit of a drive back to Knysna if you forgot something.
We will certainly stay there again.
It was a lovely 2 days. Private, peaceful, very clean place with everything we needed.
It's so beautiful there and peace of mind - stress free!
Excellent location with excellent service. Definitely a place that offers complete rest. Facilities and view contribute to an unforgettable experience. It's definitely going to be a yearly thing to experience the tranquility!
Just want to go back. Outside in the Jacuzzi under a million stars! Was just breathtaking.
Fantastic! It was luxurious and very tranquil. Food was delicious! Value for money.
Wonderful experience with the best service!
What a wonderful adventure. Mark gave us a warm welcome and made us feel right at home. The cottages are breathtakingly beautiful inside and so is the view you get. You can't ask for anything better if you just want to relax. Mark, we'll see you again soon!
We had a great time at Forest Valley Cottages. Wish we could stay longer. Got a cute little gift on Valentine's Day. Would recommend the beautiful place to everyone. Thank you Forest Valley Cottages, service was out of the books!
Place to enjoy and relax.
Due to a terrible storm and rain, we spent the majority of the weekend without power. However, I must say that the caretaker, Feston, did everything in his power to sort out the problem, and still made our stay as pleasant as possible. Because of car trouble we just wanted to pack up and go home on Saturday, but when we got to the cottage, Feston put so much effort into lighting the fireplace and getting the Jacuzzi going that we decided to stay, and we really enjoyed the last night. Would love to go back in the summer.
It feels like you're in another world, but Knysna is just 15 km away. The ideal place to kick back and forget about everything that's bothering you for a moment.
What a place! Words cannot describe how fantastic our experience was at Forest Valley Cottages. Can anyone recommend to choose the accommodation when visiting Knysna. Very private with either just yourself and your thoughts or with good company.
Nothing can beat the view! Jacuzzi on the deck overlooking the scenery was breathtaking, peaceful and beautiful. One realizes again what a beautiful country one lives in and how beautiful the area in the Southern Cape is. Fireplace in the evening with a nice glass of red wine and loved ones was a blessing!
The unit was neat and fully equipped. The deck and views were amazing. Definitely worth visiting.
Really enjoyed our stay. Stunning views, awesome lapa braai and outdoor area.
The house is very neat and well furnished. It has the perfect location in the woods, away from all the noise outside. Here you find yourself, and can switch off from the hustle and bustle of life out there. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi bath so much (we live in the Cape so a bath is something we can no longer enjoy every day! Haha.) The cottage is fully equipped with everything you will need. Nice swimming in the pool. Service was very friendly. Only the outside light on the porch that didn't work. And paying R50 for a bag of charcoal is a bit against my principles. I just wanted some sausages seared and warmed up.
The view was beautiful and we enjoyed the Jacuzzi a lot. Would just like to propose table mats or a cloth en champagne glasses. Otherwise everything was truly wonderful!
The scenery is breathtaking, the cottage is clean, tidy and well equipped!
We had a lovely stay and could relax well. The facilities are all of good quality and the atmosphere is very quiet with the song of birds as background music.
Lie in the bath and watch the full moon or the sun rise. Or sit on the porch with a coffee in hand. Anyway, the view is amazing and we really had a great time relaxing. The living room is nice and warm with the fireplace, but the room and bathroom are freezing cold in the winter, maybe just take a gas heater with you, or jump in the hot tub very quickly. Well equipped and clean and tidy. Oh yeah, and remember cash if you want to buy wood.
It was very nice and will definitely go again.
Outside door locks do not work.
Would rather consider other accommodation at lower rates.
The place is ideally located with beautiful views and nature. Basic things like nice pillows and sharp knives are short as well as privacy to be able to fully enjoy the place.
Best time ever! Thank you so much.
Very nice stay. Mark is a nice person.
Wild Iris was stunning!
It was a great experience to basically stay inside the forest and the hot tub was lovely. Even though the cottage is quiet and secluded, it is close enough to Knysna if you do have the need for shopping. The owner was very accommodating with our very late arrival due to flight problems.
We stayed for 4 nights in Hillside cottage with our 3 young daughters. We absolutely adored staying there! It was very tranquil, and beautifully decorated. The beds were all very good and the outside shower was a real pleasure in the mornings. The kitchen had everything we needed, even an oven! And we baked our own bread on a stick on the fire outside. It was a fantastic weekend in beautiful Knysna.
Beautifully furnished. Nice outside shower. Had everything one would need.
Me, my husband, brother in law and sister in law were there for a weekend in the beautiful lavender cottage. It was awesome. Everything was just perfect. The cherry on top was the bubble bath under the stars. We will definitely see you again soon. The place is beautifully equipped with everything you need and also very neat and clean.
See stars.
See the stars.
Wow! We don't have enough words to describe this gem. From arrival to departure we were left speechless about hou pretty the place is. Private, romantic, stylish and in nature. Had a lot of fun with the monkeys who watched us. Would definitely recommend it and can't wait to take my kids with the next time. It was an awesome getaway which fitted our budgets.
My partner and I wanted quiet with a nice view as well as novels, we experienced all that and more at Forest Valley. Mark helped us at any time of the evening. When we drove away it was so sad. After all the silence, you experience the journey on the road again. It was an experience and would recommend anyone to stay there. We also went to visit a place nearby. The name is Riverdeck. It looks like the Bahamas with all the banana trees as well as Goukamma River where you can also ride kayaks, canoes and paddle boats. Thank you very much for everything.
Had an amazing stay. We asked for an early check-in which was happily accommodated, and got a call from the host to find out if all was comfortable with our stay on the first day. It is a very social home-away-from-home, with upmarket fixtures and features, and all very comfortable. The pit fire was a winner!
Forest Valley is the perfect destination to break away and relax in the peace and quiet of the forest. The view is beautiful! Fully equipped and very good service. Also close to surrounding hiking trails and Knysna itself.
The most beautiful place. Just as you see in the pictures, maybe even prettier. The 2 nights there were not long enough. Will definitely return for a longer stay. Enjoyed the tranquility.
Thank you for a great place to hide away.
My fiance and I had a lovely time at Glory Dawn. Amazing scenery. Was pleasantly surprised.
The host and his staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was neat and clean in a breathtaking environment!
Have a great time! Thank you very much.
We had a wonderful stay, enjoyed the peace, tranquility and amazing views. Despite being prepared to find some creepy crawlies in the unit, we had none. The unit was clean and suited our needs, we even had a visit from a Vervet Monkey one morning out by the deck. Would suggest repairing the sliding door frames which appear to be a bit loose. Otherwise we loved it there and all our friends are loving the pictures we took.
Not really value for money per night. Everything was neat but the impression (also at reception) is that everything (the access road, buildings, water input) needs attention. We were without water for the second night from 20:00 until our departure at 10:00 the next day. I think there is better accommodation for the price in the area and it is difficult to recommend Forest Valley for the current price.
The accommodation setup is very cute and tidy, beautiful view over the forest and the location is very convenient and not too far from Knysna. It is very peaceful and quite private and ideal for a nice quiet weekend away. We did find the cottage particularly and uncomfortably hot, so that in the end we could not relax and sleep as we would have liked, but instead went exploring the area and Knysna to escape the heat. In the evenings it cools down a little, but it is difficult in the summer to sit comfortably with the doors open in the evening and visit with all the bugs (for which we have prepared ourselves well) that they themselves then invite to the light. The cottage could certainly do with an air conditioner (the fan just blows the hot air around) and would have definitely changed our experience and made us perhaps return in the future. I would only recommend the Forest Valley if insulation or air conditioning is purchased in the units so that one can get more value for money by being able to fully enjoy the place for the price you pay.
The views 100%. I would have recommended the place if they would have aircon in the room. It was 40 outside and couldn't live in the place. Had to be out from 11 to 8 because it was too hot. Customer service is not too great. They don't work on holidays. Furniture is old, no privacy due to a sliding door that has no blind to the road side. It was a very nice place to be in the winter.
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit Forest Valley Cottages again in the future.
Uitstekende ligging met baie gerieflike eenheid met al die nodige gemak en benodighede! 'n Moet veral met die uitsig en rustigheid!
Lovely place and highly recommended. Good, friendly service. Will go back.
Breathtaking natural scenery! Accommodation is private and tranquil. The private Jacuzzi in the unspoilt natural environment was so relaxing! The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic, beautiful and delicious.
We visited Forest Valley for our honeymoon and our first comment was how bitterly beautiful it is. The cottage was fully equipped and there was NOTHING we could ask for extra. The owner, Mark, is very pleasant and helpful. I am very sorry that we only stayed two nights. I would have loved to have spent the whole honeymoon there. I will definitely return again and again. It's a MUST!
Private and romantic for a lovely honeymoon.
I enjoyed the view a lot. I will recommend it to anyone.
Nice and quiet, beautiful place in the Knysna forest where no one bothers you.
The fireplace and spa bath were the biggest treat not to mention the beautiful view! Hot tub with a crackling log fire while watching the moon rise over the treetops! Fantastic! Conveniently close to Knysna, safe and very convenient. Mark also accommodated my little girl at late notice with a comfortable bed next to the fireplace. Clean, tidy with everything you need, so private, a real getaway for 2 and close enough you'd want to find a nice restaurant! A delicious spa bath massaged our aching muscles after the Knysna Forest Run while we looked out over the treetops and Knysna Mountains with a crackling log fire in our own log cabin, Glory Dawn. I will definitely go again!
The view in the kloof was very nice and the surrounds contributed to a very nice, relaxing holiday.
It was really a wonderful experience. The area, accommodation and owner - everything was just lovely. We will go again any time.
An amazing experience of luxury in the heart of the bush! A special birthday was celebrated in a memorable way thanks to Mark who went out of his way to satisfy our needs.
It was delicious. Was just put off by the noise of renovations from the house next to us.
We had an awesome awesome awesome romantic getaway!
Will definitely go again! View fantastic, Jacuzzi a bonus!
Thank you for the hospitality
It was one of the nicest getaway weekends in the woods and I can recommend it to everyone who wants to forget their worries. Will definitely spend a weekend or maybe longer there again!
Breathtaking view of the forest. Very good getaway destination for couples.
Breathtaking view that sometimes reminds of fairy tale world in a peaceful environment - everything you need if you just want to relax.
Just what we needed - a place to unwind and chill - which is just what we got!
It is a beautiful place. The owner made an effort to welcome us, we each got a Kit Kat on the bed. There was extra milk in the fridge. Place is spotlessly clean. View from porch, bath and room is breathtakingly beautiful. This is a recommendation for people who want to get away and have silence. The place is very romantic. There is also a swimming pool. I can't wait to stay at Forest Valley again, and would definitely recommend!
What a fantastic cottage. Romantic and cosy and very private. I definitely want to go back! Very comfortable and just spectacular. Loved it!
We looked at many places in Knysna before settling on Forest Valley Cottages. What a beautiful establishment. Our cottage "Wild Iris" had everything in we needed. The owner Mark went out of his way to arrange dinner, massages and a wonderful yacht cruise for us. Thank you Mark for sharing your piece of "heaven" with us. we truly enjoyed our stay, and celebrated our 25th anniversary just the way we wanted it to be.
This was definitely the highlight of our Honeymoon - we are already saving up to be able to go there again!
Stunning views. Ideal for a romantic getaway!
It's beautiful between the mountains and the woods. Nice quiet and very safe. The jacuzzi did it for us.
The one night we spent at Forest Valley Cottages on our garden trail tour was absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed the sunset from the hot tub.
Lovely quiet place with lovely views. Nice and private and you just feel so relaxed. Picnic by the fire or a nice relaxing long bath is just what you need. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to stop and unwind for couple days. Great stay.
We had a lovely stay. The facilities were neat and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The TV's picture just wasn't amazing. It was snowing most of the time, but then on the other side, the view was again picturesque.
Nice and quiet in nature with a fantastic view over the forest, very clean and tidy.
Beautiful accommodation surrounded by the most beautiful scenery.
