I was very impressed with these cottages and the grounds. The cottages are well-designed, sparkling clean, and bright. The views of the forest across the creek gorge are gorgeous. There is tons of bird life in the gardens and pond. Read the booklet in the cottages for information on places to eat, visit, and to do -- the recommendations are spot on. Julie, the host, is wonderful (wish she had more time to chat). I wish that their dog Reacher would have visited and stayed more often. Just a great place to stay in the Knysna area.
