The Studio @ Mount View Lodge is a spacious upmarket off-the-grid pet-friendly self-catering studio designed to sit unobtrusively in a rural setting. The setting is quiet, safe and peaceful, and encourages rest and rejuvenation.
It boasts beautiful views over farmland to the Outeniqua mountains and the Knysna forests, but is only 15 minutes to Sedgefield with its shops, restaurants and surrounding beaches. Knysna and Wilderness is an easy 25 minute drive through the beautiful lake systems and forests of the Garden Route. The well-known Garden Route Trail Park and Seven Passes Road is a quick 5 minute drive away making The Studio an ideal base for mountain bikers and nature adventurers.
The Studio has an open-plan layout and offers a spacious and sunny lounge, kitchen and dining area with fireplace and gorgeous views. A feature bathroom allows you to commune with nature, privately. The bedroom area contains a king-size bed that can be converted to 2 single beds, made up with luxurious bedding allowing for peaceful sleep with only the sounds of nature as your companion. A comfortable sleeper couch allows an option for a third guest. The kitchen has a 2-plate gas hob, a microwave and decent sized fridge, and is well-equipped for stay-in meal prep.
Large windows and doors look out onto greenery planted to encourage birds, butterflies and bees. Bird feeders have been placed around the property to allow for visits from a variety of birds, and a small enclosed lawned area makes it pet friendly too.
A paved patio area under a pergola has glorious views onto the Outeniqua mountain range, ideal for sundowners and a braai after a day exploring, or for simply soaking up the sun in a quiet and relaxing environment. The Studio is fully fenced for the safety of your pets.
Water is provided by rain and power by the sun. In the event of rainy spells or extended cloud cover, you may need to switch over to generator to heat the geyser and power the water pump. This usually only happens at night and the batteries quickly power up in the morning. Instructions to turn the generator on are supplied, as are candles and a lantern. This is nature dependent off-the-grid living!
We encourage recycling and have eliminated single use plastic packaging. Unlimited alien wood from the area is provided free of charge.
Your hosts live in the main house on the same property and are respectful of the need for privacy, however they will gladly help with any information and recommendations on the area, be it restaurants, activities or sightseeing. The Studio is on its own fenced-off and entirely private piece of land and has a self check-on system.

Barbara really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome! Beautiful location if you're looking for some peace and quiet.
Exceptional unit - meticulously planned and a feast for every sense.
Thanks so much for a lovely stay. The Studio @ Mount View Lodge was well equipped and cosy. We enjoyed the beautiful view and the lovely sunbirds in the garden.
The Studio is slightly out of the mainstream but that only adds to the peaceful environment. Everything was perfect as per the description and there is everything one would need to make the stay pleasant and comfortable. Will definitely look up the Sudio again if we are looking for accommodation in the area.
Highly recommended when visiting the Garden Route. The Studio is situated up a winding mountain pass with beautiful views, close to Sedgefield. Easily accessible with a sedan, and offering safe parking. You are greeted with an abundance of sunbirds fluttering around feeders on your doorstep. A great base to explore trails, bird hides and towns in the area from. Very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Barbara was very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved the fresh herbs and fresh tomatoes that awaited us in the kitchen! Nespresso machine, plunger and ground coffee in the room was a bonus. You could hear Nightjars calling at sunset. Lots of bird books and games supplied to keep you occupied. Or just sit on the patio and enjoy the view. Recommend having lunch or dinner at Montecello in Sedgefield - seafood, espetadas and veg options available. Also great cheesecake!
Comfortable and classy accommodation with beautiful surroundings. Excellent service and attention to detail. Adorable and loving dogs. All around lovely stay!
The studio is a real haven, we had a great rest and the 2 friendliest dogs kept us company. The bird food and nectar containers right in front of the studio made for the best bird watching. We were still close enough to restaurants and the beach. Would definitely recommend the Studio @ Mountain View.
Excellent place to stay with a wonderful view! Highly recommended.
Barbara went out of her way to make us feel at home. My boy really enjoyed the cows as well as the dogs belonging to the owner. Would definitely recommend the place to someone who wants to visit the area and doesn't want to stay in town.
See stars.
What a peaceful stay. It's quiet, with most beautiful mountain views. The only noise is from the the most amazing bird life right at your door. I highly recommend this place to everyone wanting a relaxing time away. The owners are just a message away if you need anything, otherwise they leave you in peace to enjoy your stay.
If you are looking for peace and quiet you are at the right place. The dogs and host are out of this world, we got spoilt rotten. Definitely coming back.
Eclectically decorated, king size bed, lovely to watch the Amethyst Sunbirds feeding and Pin-tailed Whydah displaying.
Nice private, nice view.
Rustige toevlug met alles wat jy nodig het. Indien nodig, naby genoeg aan winkels en strande. Verwelkomende en tegemoetkomende gasheer. Honde- en kindervriendelik. Dit was ons tweede besoek in 3 maande. Kan sterk aanbeveel.
Peaceful and equipped. Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Barbara. We loved it and the kids loved every minute. They can't wait to come back to visit their besties, Quinn and Molly.
Quiet, picturesque, soul refreshing and five star. Studio is fully equipped and dog-friendly. Worth every cent. Close to George and Knysna. A real gem. Fantastic getaway.
We were greeted with luxury in a little place tucked away in the countryside. Everything was there for us and we lacked nothing.
