Lekker gerus en sal beslis weer gaan.

Die natuurskoon is fantasties! Mal oor die jacuzzi en die kaggel binne die huisie. Baie lekker gekuier en is baie skoon en netjies!

Heerlik rustig en luuks.

Pragtige huisies, alles wat jy nodig het is daar en dis naby Knysna en die park (Dalene Matthee gedenksteen, groot boom en staproetes). Plek is pragtig versorg en luuks ingerig. Was gelukkig om deur 'n loerie besoek te word!

Rude management.

Booked 2 nights, checked out early the first morning because of rude management and still had to pay for both nights.

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.

Loved the serenity and secure fence for our 1-year-old.

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.

Puik in alle opsigte.

Lavender moon, ons het ons gedeeltelike wittebrood hier kom hou. Pragtige netjiese verblyf, mooiste uitsig. Gelukkig mooiweer gehad dat ons die buite Jacuzzi kon geniet, baie ontspannend. Die staproete is ook 'n moet. Uitstekende diens en vinnig om te help as nodig, sal weer kom en een van die ander huisies ook probeer.

Great in every way.

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.

Waarde vir geld, stil en rustig, naby genoeg vir aktiwiteite soos fietsry en stap.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Forest Valley Cottages. Dis perfek geleë, stil en rustig, maar naby genoeg aan Knysna as jy iets by die winkel nodig het. Jy kan fietsry en stap - perfek vir buitelewe-aktiwiteite. Die kothuis is klein, maar het als wat jy nodig het. Dis privaat en die bure pla nie. Beslis waarde vir geld.

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.

Pragtige ligging en uitsig, maar nie die prys werd nie.

Die uitsig en ligging is pragtig, maar nie noodwendig die prys werd nie. Die kombuis veral was oud en verwaarloos. Dit benodig bietjie werk. Vir die prys per nag sou mens net luuksheid in alle vertrekke verwag.

Beautiful location and view, but not worth the price.

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.

Baie dankie aan Mark met sy gasvryheid en behulpsaamheid. Indien jy nog nie in die Knysna omgewing was nie maak hy n paar aanbevelinge en merk op 'n kaart vir plekke wat jy kan besoek indien jy wil. Dit is baie stil en die natuur en ligging maak dit net die gepaste wegbreek geleentheid. Nogmaals dankie.

Die mooiste en lekkerste luukse bederf in die pragtige woudvallei.

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly in die Blue Sky Cottage. Elke deel van ons huisie se kombuis, badkamer, leefarea en slaap area was pragtig, nuut gedoen, modern en het 'n luukse gevoel. Selfs die gas braai was top in sy reeks. Die uitsig is asemrowend en die buite spa bad was die grootste, lekkerste bederf. Ons het net een aand gebly, maar het dadelik gevra of ons nie maar die res van die langnaweek daar kon vertoef nie (dit was natuurlik lank voor die tyd bespreek - so ons sal beslis binnekort teruggaan vir die volledige naweek ervaring).

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).

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.

Baie lekker, ten spyte van 'n kragonderbreking.

As gevolg van 'n verskriklike storm en reën het ons die meerderheid van die naweek sonder krag deurgebring. Ek moet egter sê dat die opsigter, Feston, alles in sy vermoë gedoen het om die probleem uit te sorteer, en ons verblyf nogtans so lekker moontlik gemaak het. A.g.v. kar-moeilikheid wou ons maar Saterdag oppak en huis toe gaan, maar toe ons by die cottage kom, het Feston soveel moeite gedoen om die kaggel aan te steek en die Jacuzzi aan die gang te kry dat ons besluit het om maar te bly, en het ons die laaste aand toe werklik geniet. Sal graag wil teruggaan in die somer.

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.

Thank you Wanda,

Yes, he is such a star, Murphy was away at work when there is a malfunction, cold, rain and Friday, very difficult to get electricians to attend, Feston did his best and normally works something out I will let him know he is appreciated.

Thank you for your kind words.

Niks kan die view beat nie! Jacuzzi op die dek wat oor die natuurskoon uitkyk was asemrowend, rustig en mooi. Mens besef net weer in watse mooi land 'n mens bly en hoe mooi die area in die Suid-Kaap is. Kaggelvuur in die aand met 'n lekker glas rooiwyn en geliefdes was 'n blessing!

Pragtige view en sielsrus!

Huisie is baie netjies en goed ingerig. Dit het die perfekte ligging in die bos, weg van al die geraas daar buite. Hier vind jy jouself, en kan afskakel van die lewe se gejaag daar buite. Die Jacuzzi bad het ons so baie geniet (ons bly in die Kaap so bad is iets wat ons nie meer aldag kan geniet nie! Haha.) Die huisie is ten volle uitgerus met als wat jy sal nodig kry. Lekker geswem in die swembad. Diens was baie vriendelik. Net die buitelig op die stoep wat nie gewerk het nie. En om R50 vir sak charcoal te betaal is bietjie teen my beginsels. Ek wou net paar worsies geskroei en warm gemaak het.

Beautiful view and peace of mind!

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.

Thank you for a lovely review.

Ontspan met 'n uitsig soos min.

Lê in die bad en kyk vir die volmaan of hoe die son opkom. Of sit op die stoep met 'n koffie in die hand. Hoe ookal, die uitsig is amazing en ons het regtig lekker ontspan. Die sitkamer is lekker warm met die kaggel, maar kamer en badkamer is yskoud in die winter, vat dalk net gasverwarmer saam, of spring baie vinnig in die warm bad. Goed toegerus en skoon en netjies. O ja, en onthou kontant as jy hout wil koop.

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.

Romanties en ideaal vir wittebrood.

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring om basies binne die bos te bly en die borrelbad was heerlik. Al is die cottage rustig en afgesonder is dit na genoeg aan Knysna indien mens wel die behoefte het aan inkopies. Die eienaar was baie tegemoetkomend met ons baie laat arrivering weens vlug probleme.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting with a stunning view.

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.

My verblyf was asemrowend, ek sal definitief weer 'n draai maak.

Ek en my lewensmaat wou stilte hê met 'n mooi uitsig sowel as romans, ons het alles en meer beleef by Forest Valley. Mark het ons enige tyd van die aand gehelp. Toe ons wegry was dit so hartseer. Na al die stilte beleef jy weer die gereis op die pad. Dit was 'n belewenis en sal enige iemand voorstel om daar te gaan bly. Ons het ook gaan kuier by 'n plekkie naby. Die naam is Riverdeck. Dit lyk soos die Bahamas met al die piesangbome sowel as Goukamma Rivier waar jy ook kayak, canoes en paddle boats kan ry. Baie dankie vir alles.

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.

Gorgeous location, stunning accommodation, and a lovely place for winter or summer holidays.

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!

Beste plek waar ek al ooit was.

Dit is die mooiste plekkie. Lyk net soos op die foto's as dit nie nog mooier is nie. Was 2 aande daar en dit was beslis te min tyd. Sal sekerlik weer gaan en vir langer bly. Het die rustigheid baie geniet.

Best place I've been to.

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.

Peaceful and beautiful location.

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.

Forest Valley Cottages 's response

Why thank you Clarice. Yes, the monkeys are really funny. If you don't have a radio or DStv on at night, you can see porcupine, bush buck, bush pig, badger coming up from the natural forests. The peace and quiet is always amazing, no traffic and city sounds, a real rejuvenating break away although, just 15 minutes from Knysna, in the unspoilt forests. Perhaps you can send me some pictures you took and I'll publish them on our website.
Anyway, you guys were very welcome and super, who may want to enjoy our cozy winter specials from May 2017 until September 2017.
We hope we see you again.
Cheers
Mark

Accommodation was disappointing for the price you pay.

Forest Valley Cottages can take out or clean their loose carpets. Not a pretty sight when you look forward to this expensive stay and your face falls when you walk in. One simply feels dirty. The photos are slightly misleading.

Aangenaam en mooi sonder om aardskuddend te wees!

Nie werklik waarde vir die koste per nag nie. Alles was netjies, maar die indruk wat gelaat word (ook by die ontvangs), is dat alles (die toegangspad, geboue, watertoevoer) aandag kort. Ons was byvoorbeeld vir die tweede aand sonder water van 20h00 tot ons vertrek om 10h00 die volgende dag. Ek dink daar is beter verblyf vir die koste in die omgewing en kan Forest Valley moeilik aanbeveel vir die huidige kostestruktuur.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Pleasant and beautiful without being earth-shattering.

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.

Baie oulike opset in die natuur, maar was ongelukkig telleurgesteld!

Die verblyf opset is baie oulik en netjies, pragtige uitsig oor die bos en die ligging is baie gerieflik en nie te ver se ry uit Knysna nie. Dit is baie rustig en redelik privaat en ideaal vir 'n lekker rustige naweek weg. Ons het wel die kothuis besonders en ongemaklik warm beleef, so dat ons op die ou end nie lekker kon ontspan en slaap soos ons graag sou wou nie, maar eerder die area en Knysna gaan verken het om te vlug van die hitte. Die aande koel dit klein bietjie af, maar dit is moeilik om in die somer lekker met oop deure in die aand te sit en kuier met al die bos gogga's (waarop ons onsself mooi voorberei het) wat hulle self dan innooi na die lig toe. Die kothuis kan verseker doen met 'n lugversorger (die waaier waai bloots die warm lug rond) en sou definitief ons belewenis verander het en gemaak het dat ons dalk sou terugkeer in die toekoms. Ek sal die slegs Forest Valley aanbeveel as daar isolasie of lugversorging aangeskaf word in die eenhede sodat mens meer waarde vir geld kan kry deur die plek ten volle te kan geniet vir die prys wat jy betaal.

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.

Moenie in die somer tyd gaan nie!

Die views 100%. Ek sal die plek aanbeveel het as hulle aircon in die kamer sou hê. Dit was 40 buite en kon nie lewe in die plek nie. Moes van 11 tot 8 uit wees want dit was te warm. Kliëntediens is nie te great nie. Hulle werk nie op vakansiedae nie. Meubels is oud, nie privaatheid nie weens 'n skuifdeur wat nie blind het nie na die pad se kant toe. Dit was 'n baie lekker plek in die winter wees.

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.

Onbeskryflik mooi!

Ons het Forest Valley vir ons wittebrood besoek en ons eerste opmerking was hoe bitterlik mooi dit is. Die huisie was volledig toegerus en daar was NIKS waarvoor ons ekstra kon vra nie. Die eienaar, Mark, is baie aangenaam en behulpsaam. Ek is baie spyt dat ons net twee aande gebly het. Ek sou graag die hele wittebrood daar wou spandeer het. Ek sal beslis weer en weer terugkeer. Dis 'n MOET!

Heerlik heerlik heerlik!

Die kaggel en spa-bad was die grootste bederf om nie van die pragtige uitsig te praat nie! Borrelbad met 'n knetterende kaggelvuur terwyl jy kyk hoe die maan opkom oor die boomtoppe! Fantasties! Gerieflik naby aan Knysna, veilig en baie gerieflik. Mark het my dogtertjie op laat kennisgewing ook geakkommodeer met 'n gerieflike bedjie langs die kaggel. Skoon, netjies met als wat mens nodig het, so privaat, 'n regte wegbreek vir 2 en naby genoeg sou mens 'n lekker restaurant wou opsoek! Heerlike spa-bad het ons seer spiere na die Knysna Forest Run masseer terwyl ons oor die boomtoppe en Knysna Berge uitkyk met 'n knetterende kaggelvuur in ons eie log cabin, Glory Dawn. Ek gaan beslis weer!

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!

Uitstekend!

Dit is 'n mooi plek. Die eienaar het moeite gedoen met verwelkoming ons het elkeen 'n Kit Kat op die bed gekry. Daar was ekstra melk in die yskas. Plek is spotless skoon. Uitsig van stoep, bad en kamer is asemrowend mooi. Dit is is 'n aanbeveling vir mense wat wil wegbreek en stilte wil hê. Die plek is baie romanties. Daar is ook 'n swembad. Ek kan nie wag om weer by Forest Valley te gaan bly nie, en sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

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!

Excellent value for money

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.

Baie lekker en baie mooi.

Dis mooi tussen die berge en die bosse. Lekker stil en baie veilig. Die jacuzzi het dit vir ons gedoen.

Wat 'n uitsig!

Die een aand wat ons by Forest Valley Cottages spandeer het op ons toer van die tuinroete was absoluut asemrowend mooi en ons het die sonsondergang uit die borrelbad baie geniet.

What a view!

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.

Quiet, private, relaxing

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.

'n Asemrowende uitsig en lekker rusplek!

Ons het 'n heerlike verblyf gehad. Die geriewe was netjies en ons het die borrelbad vreeslik geniet. Die TV se beeld was nou net nie van wonders nie. Dit het die meeste van die tyd gesneeu, maar dan aan die anderkant, was die uitsig weer beeldskoon.

A breathtaking view and a nice place to rest!

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.
