Guests at the villa can make the most of yoga classes offered in-house. Guests at Hide Away Cabin will be able to enjoy activities in and around Knysna, like cycling and hiking. The villa has a barbecue, outdoor fireplace and sun terrace.

The place was absolutely breathtaking! It was even better than the pictures. Everything met our expectations and more. The jacuzzi was fantastic and easy to control. The cabin was stunning. And the shower is definitely my favourite. My partner and I explored the surrounding farms and forests and even met some of the cows. Lize is an amazing host. We will definitely be coming back soon. Totally recommend this place to anyone looking for an escape with peace, beautiful scenery and fresh air.

Looking for a cabin?

For active travelers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and with kitchen facilities, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found other places in the world. Characterized by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing vacations.

    The 2 bedroom "cabin" was beautifully decked out with a comfortable sofa, comfy beds and a nice wooden outdoor dining setting and deck chairs on the verandah, which had a lovely partial view of the Knysna lagoon. All the kitchen pots, utensils and crockery is Le Creuset, which impressed us, and was nice to use. The braai worked well and kindling and firewood was included. The lovely the lagoon was great for relaxing under the milkwood trees, and to step off for a swim in the lagoon at high tide.

    Staff were friendly and accommodating. Didn't request a daily service, but we had clean fluffy towels each day, our beds were remade, dishes packed away etc. Chalets were absolutely spotless, fully equipped kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. Lots of activities on-site and the view of the lagoon and surrounding cabins were beautiful

    The huts and the whole resort are very special, you really do feel a bit like you are in the jungle. The resort is located directly on the lagoon and there are kayaks and SUPs that you can rent for free. The cabins are perfectly equipped and very cosy and you can have a nice barbecue.

    Absolutely stunning location, right on the beach. the chalet was spacious with every amenities including two large verandas - one overlooking the bay and the other sheltered by the milkwood branches. We had initially booked one of the cabins located on the second row from the beach, but upgraded to a beachfront one. Absolutely worth the extra cost! Plus for free use of kayaks and sups.
