Forest Hills Rheenendal Accommodation

Discover the tranquility of Forest Hills, our charming self-catering Rheenendal accommodation. Forest Hills provides a much appreciated escape from the big city, with the convenience of being just 15 minutes away from Knysna. Surrounded by private indigenous gardens, our cottages offer stunning forest and mountain views.

Enjoy short walks on the property, winding through the forest, fynbos, and past a peaceful dam. Encounter local wildlife like bushbuck, boar, caracal, monkeys, and baboons, or catch glimpses of the Knysna Lourie as they swoop along the forest edge.
In the gardens one will find a trampoline and a large swimming pool complete with a slide.

At Forest Hills we understand that your furry friends are family too, which is why we are delighted to be a pet-friendly destination.

Heaven tucked away in the valley. Beautiful surroundings, good value for money, feels very private and friendly host. Warm and homely feel about the place but also very spacious and light. Lots to do like table tennis, swimming, darts, games, braai, walk on the farm, the viewing deck and if you dont want to stay in then knysna is a stone throw away.

Caron’s place was better than I was expecting. The grounds are beautiful to walk around, and the view from the deck is exquisite in the afternoons and at sunrise. The kitchen was well-equipped and the place was very quaint. Caron generously left us some wood to make a fire as well. We weren’t adventurous enough to try the outdoor shower during winter, but the cottage has many little surprises around the corners. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay! Caron was friendly and helpful, and our stay was very peaceful.
