Rude management.
Forest Valley Cottages 's response
Hi Tanya, according to our cancellation policy it is quite clear that, the cottage, you had booked on the long weekend, would be opened up, to be rebooked, which it was not, with such a late cancellation. When asked if there was any problem, you said and I quote" No, everything was perfect." If my unanswered WhatsApp, indicated that the reception was closed at 5 pm and that you could book in directly to the cottage was rude, then I do apologise. 3 WhatsApp messages with the location/pin, gate code, and direct check-in instructions were sent and were unanswered. We really hope your grandmother, was unhurt and recovered. The FOREST VALLEY management.

Value for money, peaceful and quiet, close enough for activities like cycling and walking.
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 most beautiful and delicious luxury treat in the beautiful forest valley.
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).

Forest Valley Cottages is nestled in the pristine and untouched indigenous forests of Knysna. We are conveniently located on the Cape Town side of the Knysna Lagoon, a scenic 15-minute car drive from the centre of town and 8 minutes away from the famous Knysna Lagoon. With a choice of 6 self-catering luxury units, Forest Valley Cottages offers unrivaled views of the breathtaking Knysna forest and surrounding Outeniqua mountain range.
Guests can choose between softly lit Honeymoon and couple’s units with Jacuzzi/spa baths and Jacuzzi/tubs. The units all offer satellite television, electric blankets, cosy wood-burning fireplaces, well-equipped kitchenettes, queen-size beds and two and three bedroom units. Everything has been designed with your comfort in mind!
On arrival, guests can expect fresh flowers, beds scattered with rose petals and a welcoming chorus of beautiful bird-calls – an ever-present sound in the valley. On request, we can provide champagne and other luxuries for Honeymoon couples. Tea and coffee is provided for your first few days.
We provide a daily housekeeping service, allowing you to truly kick back and simply enjoy the natural wonders of the area. Make sure to pop into reception to find out about local hikes and activities, and to learn about any interesting goings on in the area.
For nature lovers, romantically minded city slickers, or simply those looking for a time out, Forest Valley Cottages is a true gem.

Very nice, despite a power outage.
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.

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.

Thank you for a lovely review. Guests just love to hear from others.
If you looked in the cupboard under the sink, you could have found a globe to fit and changed it, if you needed it badly you could have otherwise called up to us, we would have had it sorted in a jiffy, as we are on call for our guests 24/7, with the greatest of pleasure, all lights and things are checked before new guests arrive and may have stopped working when you turned it on? Murphy is always around...ha!
The charcoal comes, with fire-litres, for R50 and placed there for convenience only, if you have not got any, it will cost a whole lot more than R50 to go and buy it and come back, guests are always welcome to bring their own.
However glad you enjoyed your one night!

Good day,
All you had to do is ask, we no longer put the champagne glasses into the cottages because of the breakage total over the years we've learned to give them from reception, the tablecloths are provided upon request by the housekeepers or myself on arrival. We will perhaps put a tablecloth in the drawer, in case it is required, what a well-noted request.

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.

Very nice setting in nature, but was unfortunately disappointed!
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.

It was slightly disappointing, but you can make the best of it and then it's nice.
We were slightly disappointed in the expectation created by the photos on Lekkeslaap. The houses certainly have everything that is needed, but they can definitely work on the cleanliness and some other small things that are often decisive. I realize that it is a challenge to keep a place completely clean and free of dust in a forest, but we came over from another institution (also in the forest) and at the previous one the cleanliness was extremely successful. For example, our milk, sugar and tea were never replenished, some of the towels were frayed, some fittings had definitely seen better days. The fireplace is certainly a fantastic addition in winter, but the smell of soot in the cottage is less pleasant. Lovely bath and view.

Delicious delicious delicious!
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!

Outstanding!
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!
