Woodcutters Forest Cottages

Woodcutters Forest Cottages features two beautiful cottages on the edge of the Knysna forest. It is the perfect location to be if you want to be surrounded by rolling countryside as well as being on the edge of wild nature. The area offers plenty of outdoor activities and attractions such as nature walks, cycling routes, Jubilee Creek, Drup Kelders and Millwood Gold Mines, all less than 10 km away.

It is a bird-watcher's paradise and offers an abundance of wildlife, and is also ideal for photographic outings with the Outeniqua Mountains in the north, the deep gorge of the Knysna and Homtini Rivers east and west, and the Rheenendal farming community and the ocean with Buffels Bay, Knysna and Sedgefield in the south.

"What a find!"

19 February 2020

"This cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It's very private with lovely views and is a great place to bring the dog too!"
"A cottage Full of Character and Charm"

01 October 2019

"The beauty of looking for a dog friendly place is coming across hidden gems like the Woodcutters Forest Cottages. We stayed with out little dog in Mellow Wood Cottage and we absolutely loved it. Quirky and full of rustic charm and warmth. The garden was stunning and we woke up to the morning chorus of birdsong. It's the sort of cottage you can imagine staying in whilst writing a book! One of those wonderfully romantic, inspiring, cosy and comfortable finds."

"Beautiful cottage in tranquil, picturesque surroundings. The cottage is comfortable and tastefully furnished with some lovely antique pieces. The huge porch has an irresistible day bed where I could spend many hours. Wish we could have stayed longer."

"Secluded Cabin - A quiet haven to recharge oneself"

04 March 2017

"A secluded cabin, very well fitted out - perfect for 2 people to completely wind down. Well located to do some great hikes as well, and if necessary get into Knysna, and other beautiful local spots as well as amazing beach swimming not too far away. It was good that we could take our dog but the dogs on the farm were a nuisance as they spent time there - we did suggest that they find a way to keep their dogs on their property. The hosts were also great and helpful when we needed them.Flies were a problem - we suggested they get fly strips or something similar to keep them at bay (a natural nuisance on a farmland, but still irritating).I would highly recommend this cottage."

"Amazing cottage in the woods!"

22 September 2014

"Wow, what an amazing place. This spacious cottage is right in the middle of the forest with stunning views over a little dam and Knysna forest, extremely peaceful and private. We brought our dog who made friends with the owners dogs as well as our two babies. The little touches and style of the place are exceptional - we can't wait to come back! The interior is stunning and even comes with toys for our toddler..Thank you Hannes and DP! Next time we'll also buy some of the owners stunning artwork.Julia & Peter"

"Woodcutters Forest Cottages are the perfect place to go if you want peace, quiet and a rest with fresh mountain air. The cottages are tastefully furnished and appointed with everything you could want. Lovely clean white cotton linen and duvets. Extremely good value for money."

31 October 2013

"We had an absolutely wonderful and relaxing stay at Woodcutters Forest Cottages. It is set in beautiful surroundings, just out of Knysna, and gives a great impression of the rural surroundings of Rheenendal. The furniture and decor was very rustic, earthy and tastefully done. Definitely worth it!"

"Pet paradise at Woodcutters"

14 April 2013

"Wonderful kind hosts made us and our dogs very welcome. We had a comfortable stay and took our dogs (and some of the owners' very cute dogs) for incredibly beautiful forest walks. Rosalinda the medieval sheepdog was our guide and protector! Overall we could not have asked for a more pet friendly and relaxing stay!"
