Large and comfortable rooms with great views, two lovely pools, delicious bar food and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff led by manager Sandy all make for an unforgettable experience. The 90-minute free boat trip on the estuary was the cherry on the cake.

Our stay at Cliffhanger Cottages was incredible and we would highly recommend it to anyone. The attention to detail left us wanting for nothing and we were absolutely blown away by the views, visible from everywhere in the cottage, including the shower!
The braii on the balcony & watching the sunset over the mountains are truly highlights of a wonderful trip on the garden route.
Close enough to Knysna for shops etc. but distanced enough to fully immerse and hear nothing but nature.
Some amazing hikes nearby with waterfalls and streams to bathe in during the summer months.
We'll definitely be back next time!
Thanks, Dean and Nikita!

What an amazing place to stay, my wife and I enjoyed every minute of this beautiful location. The staff were fantastic and catered to our every need, the setting for our evening meal and breakfast was superb overlooking the forest, the food equally superb and amazing value for money. We were lucky enough to book into the spa for a one hour massage and two hour spa experience, which was amazing in the forest setting, the food after was great too. An amazing place.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley.
The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa.
Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

Natures Valley is very special.
Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route!
A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town.
We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company.
A visit to the Heads is a highlight.
Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

The number of bergies or street people hanging at the SPAR and surrounding area for the size of town was disconcerting. Nearly had an incident regarding the snatch of a cell phone. Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.
