We spent a blissful week in this beautiful, tranquil, lush setting.

We loved every moment of our stay in the Wilderness Forest Chalet. What a perfect setting in the glade, among magnificent trees, with the music of the river flowing all around! The chalet invites you to live outdoors no matter the weather or time of day. The living area, together with the lovely braai area, forms an arena looking onto the glade. Every evening, we were treated to a magical firefly show. Anton was a wonderful host, making sure we were comfortable and well looked after. We highly recommend the Wilderness Forest Chalet.

Amazing and beautiful.

I would highly recommend Forest Chalet. We had an amazing stay, you don't notice loadshedding at all, gas stove, gas water and heater. Everything and so much more you need in the kitchen. Anton and Lorainne are amazing hosts, when you want to ask or know something they always get back to you and come to check on you. It's a beautiful and amazing place to get away from everything.

Asemrowende natuurlike eenvoud.

Wat 'n absolute wonderlike naweek. Die chalet is lekker diep in die bos, absolute stilte, net die voëltjies. Jou kos vind rus, en jou siel herlaai hier. Die huisie bied alles wat jy nodig het, netjies en skoon. Ons het die natuurlike en eenvoudige gevoel van alles waardeer, die rustigheid, en die beste van alles, geen selfoon opvang, so ons het so lekker gekuier. Anton is 'n gasheer duisend, hy het vir ons braai pakkies gereël, uitgehelp toe daar loadshedding was en ons moes klaarmaak vir 'n bruilof. Sal ek weer gaan: absoluut.

Breathtaking natural simplicity.

What an absolutely wonderful weekend. The chalet is deep in the forest, absolute silence, only the birds. Your food finds rest, and your soul recharges here. The house offers everything you need, neat and clean. We appreciated the natural and simple feel of everything, the tranquility, and best of all, no cell phone reception, so we had such a great time. Anton is a great host, he arranged barbecue packages for us, helped out when there was loadshedding and we had to prepare for a wedding. Would I go again: absolutely.

'n Voëlbespieder se droom.

Perfek vir 'n voëlbespieder wat graag Knysna Loeries wil sien. Die badkamer is so kort stappie agter die huis met 'n buitedeur wat vir ons so bietjie ongemaklik was in die aande. Alhoewel dit natuurlik veilig is het ons nogsteeds snaaks gevoel dat dit buite was en nie kon sluit nie.

A birdwatcher's dream.

Perfect for a birder who would like to see Knysna Loeries. The bathroom is a short walk behind the house with an outside door which was a bit uncomfortable for us in the evenings. Although it is obviously safe we still felt funny that it was outside and couldn't lock.

Total peace.

My two dogs and I had such a good rest. Anton was amazing, even to the point of looking after the dogs and taking them for a walk to the dam while I went to a wedding. Beyond the call of duty indeed. The place is quiet, amazing birdlife, dogs quickly got rid of the monkeys. The room with the massive bed is spacious. Love the rustic cabin with its restaurant style serving hatch. Outside toilet and shower near the river, which is great if you have someone camping as well. The outside bathroom is not a problem and you get used to it quickly. Everything you need, and a decent fridge and stove with oven, microwave in the kitchen. No cellphone reception, so 5 days of blissful quiet. Walk up a short hill if you are desperate. Loved it.

Perfekte wegbreek

Pragtige ligging en rustige atmosfeer. Ek en my hondekind het dit ongelooflik baie geniet. Anton is ’n baie vriendelike gasheer. Ry net versigtig, die pad is ’n uitdaging met ’n klein motor. Ek sal dit dalk nie aanbeveel as 'n slaapplek as jy beplan om baie rond te ry en die area te verken nie, tensy jy 'n 4x4 het. Dis ’n plek om te gaan ontspan en juis weg te kom van almal en alles. Die stap na die waterval is nie die maklikste nie, maar uit en uit die moeite werd! Ek sal vir seker teruggaan.

Perfect getaway

Beautiful location and peaceful atmosphere. My dog and I really enjoyed it. Anton is a very friendly host. Just drive carefully, the road is a challenge with a small car. I might not recommend it as a place to sleep if you plan to drive around a lot and explore the area unless you have a 4x4. It's a place to relax and get away from everyone and everything. The walk to the waterfall is not the easiest, but totally worth it! I will go back for sure.

4x4 streng aanbeveel!

Op pad het ons 'n paar keer amper teruggedraai omdat die pad verskriklik sleg is. Daar was selfs 'n bord langs die pad met "slegs 4x4" opgeskryf! Ek voel dit moet in die beskrywing gevoeg word, ons kar was amper lelik beskadig.

4x4 strongly recommended!

On the way we almost turned back a few times because the road is terribly bad. There was even a sign on the side of the road saying "4x4 only"! I feel this should be added to the description, our car was almost badly damaged.

Wilderness Forest Chalet 's response

It is such a pity that a comment like this gets posted, as it gives prospective guests the wrong information.

So let me set the record straight: you do not need a 4x4 to get to the chalet.
If you did, there would be many negative reviews on our Travel Ground/LekkeSlaap post and other accommodation platforms that we use, and we would probably be out of business by now.
The 4x4 sign mentioned (which says 'Private property. Keep out. 4x4 only') is a deterrent to discourage unwanted visitors.
The road is a dead-end and the sign ensures privacy for us and our guests.
The directions that I send to all our guests prior to arrival, mentions that one need not worry about the sign, however, I will make this more clear in the directions and in our post.
The road is rough but can be driven with a normal car, as long as you drive slowly and you will not damage your car.
The middel-mannetjie may brush against your undercarriage but it is grass-covered soft ground.
A bakkie may be more suitable but it would be a pity to miss out on a stay at this beautiful location just because you don't have one.
Staying at the chalet is a bit of an adventure. It is fairly remote, surrounded by forest in which there is still some wildlife.

Getting there is part of the adventure.

Absoluut salig.

Ons het lanklaas so lekker kon rus en ontspan. Die huisie was perfek vir ons behoeftes en selfs meer. Dit is ongelooflik om nie eers jou deur te sluit in die nag nie en steeds ten alle tye veilig te voel. Wilderness Forest Chalet is ver genoeg van alles af om rustigheid te hê, maar naby genoeg aan alles as jy dit nodig het. Ons het meestal die Knysnawoude per voertuig gaan verken, maar ons kom beslis weer hier bly, en hierdie keer gaan ek niks verder as die stoep nie - ek sal vir dae net daar kan sit en die ongelooflike omgewing absorbeer. Nog 'n rede om terug te kom is die pragtige stap roetes wat Anton ons van vertel het waarby ons nie eers uitgekom het nie - 3 dae hier is net te min.

Absolutely blissful.

We haven't been able to rest and relax so much in a long time. The cottage was perfect for our needs and even more. It's amazing to not even lock your door at night and still feel safe at all times. Wilderness Forest Chalet is far enough away from everything to have tranquility, but close enough to everything if you need it. We've mostly explored the Knysna forests by vehicle, but we'll definitely be staying here again, and this time I'm not going any further than the stoep - I'll be able to sit there for days and absorb the incredible surroundings. Another reason to come back is the beautiful walking routes that Anton told us about which we didn't even get to - 3 days here is just too little.

Een van die wonderlikste ondervindings nog!

Ons tyd by Wilderness Forest Chalet was ongelooflik. Ons wou 'n bos-ervaring hê en dis presies wat ons daar gekry het. Van die vuurvliegies, bos-uile, loeries, blomme, voëls, water en al die ander klein goedjies wat bygedra het tot hierdie groot ervaring, tot die stilte. Ek en my man, Wessel, het dit ongelooflik geniet. Dit was absoluut die moeite werd. Die verblyf is skoon en netjies en goed toegerus. Baie dankie dat ons kon deel wees van julle stukkie paradys. Ons gaan weer daar 'n draai maak. Ons is nog nie klaar gekyk en geluister nie.

Ongelooflike ervaring, beveel dit vir enige iemand aan wat smag na rus en vrede!

Dit is een van die bes bewaarde stukkie paradys! Die skoonheid, die rustigheid en die voël lewe is ongelooflik. In die aand lyk die vuurvlieggies lyk soos kersliggies. Anton, die eienaar doen ook ongelooflike moeite om met mens te akkommodeer, hy is 'n baie spesiale mens. In die aande roep die uile rondom mens na mekaar en in die oggend, voor die sonnetjie opkom, klink dit asof mens in 'n voëlpark is. Dis stap na die waterval is mooi, maar verg bietjie inspanning, maar asemrowend mooi en die moeite werd!

Amazing experience, recommend it to anyone who craves peace and quiet!

This is one of the best preserved pieces of paradise! The beauty, the tranquility and the bird life are incredible. In the evening the fireflies look like candle lights. Anton, the owner also makes an incredible effort to accommodate people, he is a very special person. In the evenings, the owls around you call to each other and in the morning, before the sun comes up, it sounds like you are in a bird park. The walk to the waterfall is beautiful, but requires some effort, but breathtakingly beautiful and worth it!

Voëlkykersparadys, rus en stilte tussen reuse inheemse bome en woud met kabbelende waterstroompies en 'n stoep met 'n miljoen-dollar uitsig.

As jy in die Ritz-Carlton wil bly moenie gaan nie. As jy jou kleintyd-drome, om bosfeetjies en kabouters in die woud te gaan soek, wil waar maak, gaan bly in hierdie basiese, maar silwerskoon en goed toegeruste houthuis in die bos. Hier is rus en stilte en meer as 100 spesies voëls om die huis en in die nabye omgewing. Vriendelike en hulpvaardige gasvrou. Die kombuis op-die-stoep en die stoep/veranda met die mees ongelooflike uitsig, is absoluut uniek. Al die ander besienswaardighede van die Wilderness binne 'n paar minute se reistyd beskikbaar. Ons dink 'n mikrogolfoond sal 'n baie handige toevoeging wees. Ons dink ook dat voornemende gaste moet daarvan bewus gemaak word dat die badkamer buite die huis is.

Birdwatcher's paradise, peace and quiet among giant native trees and forest with babbling water streams and a veranda with a million-dollar view.

If you want to stay in the Ritz-Carlton don't go. If you want to make your childhood dreams of looking for forest fairies and goblins in the forest come true, stay in this basic, but spotlessly clean and well-equipped wooden house in the forest. Here there is peace and quiet and more than 100 species of birds around the house and in the immediate area. Friendly and helpful hostess. The kitchen on-the-stoep and the stoep/porch with the most incredible view, are absolutely unique. All the other attractions of the Wilderness available within a few minutes of travel time. We think a microwave would be a very handy addition. We also think that prospective guests should be made aware that the bathroom is outside the house.

Hallo Paul, baie dankie vir die wonderlike resensie en voorstelle. Hulle is opgemerk. 'n Mikrogolfoond is volgende op die lys. TravelGround notering is opgedateer met betrekking tot die badkamer. Dit was aangenaam om julle te gasheer en ons hoop om julle weer te sien. Groete, Anton en Lorraine.

Die is die huisie in die middel van die woud wat in feeverhale beskryf word.

Stilte en rustigheid van die omgewing, ongelooflik! Hartlike ontvangs, wat jou dadelik laat tuis voel. Volledig toegerus, heerlik geslaap, en nog beter wakker geword, met voëlsang in jou ore! Onvergeetlike tyd. Baie dankie!

It is the house in the middle of the forest - described in fairy tales.

Silence and tranquillity of the surroundings, incredible! Hearty welcome, which makes you feel at home right away. Fully equipped, slept great, and woke up even better with birdsong in your ears! Unforgettable time. Thank you very much!

Amazing!

Beste plek volgens my en my man! Baie lekker gebly en die eienaars het baie moeite gedoen om ons gemaklik te laat voel, ens. Baie dankie!

Uniek en baie, baie mooi omgewing.

Dit was 'n wonderlike tyd in 'n lieflike omgewing. Ons was met 'n gewone motor daar. Dit was nie 'n baie goeie idee nie. Die middelmannetjie was op plekke 'n bietjie hoog. Nogtans 'n onvergeetlike paar dae.

Unique and very, very beautiful area.

We had a wonderful time in a lovely area. We went with a normal sedan and it wasn't a very good idea. The central ridge of the road was a bit high at times. Still, we had an unforgettable few days.

Wegkomkans!

As jy werklik uit die gejaag wil wegkom, is daar geen beter plek nie. Die natuurskoon is uit n ander wêreld! Oorweeg sterk om 'n refleksologiesessie te bespreek by Lorraine. Dit is bekostigbaar, op die perseel en net wat jy nodig het om ten volle te ontspan en met nuwe lewenslus die dag aan te pak.

Get away!

If you really want to get away from the hustle and bustle, there is no better place. The natural beauty is from another world! Strongly consider booking a reflexology session with Lorraine. It's affordable, on-site and just what you need to fully relax and take on the day with renewed zest for life.

Wat 'n versteekte juweel! Vir die natuurpersoon wat tevrede is met net die nodige.

Ons was aangenaam verras! Pragtig plek versteek in die Wilderniswoud. Als wat 'n mens nodig het en belangrikste was daar, beddens was fantasties en TV word vervang met die sterre.

We were pleasantly surprised! Beautiful place hidden in the Wilderness forest. Everything one needs and equipped with all the necessities. Beds were fantastic and TV is replaced with stars.

'n Belewenis.

Die boshuisie het my heeltemal verras. Alleen in die woud. Geen TV, selfoonopvangs, geen diefwering, veiligheidshekke of alarms nie. Ons het nie besef daar is plekke in ons land waar 'n mens nog so kan lewe nie. Verder is alles daar wat jy nodig het. Anton het ook baie moeite gedoen om ons te help met aanwysings tot by die huisie. Ons het die twee dae baie geniet.

An experience.

The bush house took me completely by surprise. Alone in the forest. No TV, mobile phone reception, no burglar alarm, security gates or alarms. We did not realize that there are places in our country where one can still live like this. Furthermore, everything you need is there. Anton also made a lot of effort to help us with directions to the cottage. We really enjoyed the two days.
