Adventure
Experience an emerald day on Forest walks, picnics or biking trail

(20min away). Rejuvenate in a hot-water outdoor shower or indoor bath.
Mellow out on the chalet veranda, watching birds or buck drink at the
dam. Light a braai(barbeque) under the stars; flitting fireflies and
evocative nightjars add to the enchantment. In winter enjoy a book or
movie by the cozy log-fire...
Drupkelders: magical massive rock pools in the forest, with a
waterfall coming in at one end and lily-covered cliffs to seclude the
Midsummer's Dream. Ideal spot for secluded, romantic picnics or family
fun. See variety of birds and even elusive forest animals en route.

Forest Edge is 20 minutes' leisurely scenic drive from Knysna, up into
the mountains & forest. Close enough to enjoy all amenities
and far enough to avoid the crowds, traffic noise and congestion.
From the N2 between Sedgefield & Knysna: About 1.5km
west of the Knysna lagoon bridge, turn north onto the Rheenendal
road. After 11.5km, just past the Rheenendal Petrol Station, turn
right at the Bibby's Hoek sign. Follow the dirt road for
2.2km. Turn left at the intersection and continue for
1.5km. Forest Edge is the last property on this road: tranquility
at its best! The dirt roads are quite passable even by small cars
- if you have a very low/sports car or if you are especially concerned,
check latest conditions.
