How much can you see and do in a 5km radius from Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat?
We often have people ask us what there is to do and see directly around us, especially those who have come to seek peace and quiet in nature let us tell you what to expect in a 5km radius from Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat!
As most of you already know we are based on the edge of the Knysna Forest, where you wake up to the rustling of the trees, the singing of the birds and the buzzing of the insects? Closer to nature you could not ask for. This is why our destination has become very popular with Wellness Retreat hosts and people wanting to apply mindfulness.
Our Cabins are also perfectly spaced apart to allow for privacy, and the feeling of being alone and one with nature, each with their own braai and fireplaces and fully equipped. So back to the question if I did not want to leave the Rheenendal Area and wanted to enjoy nature to its fullest. ( For those who have not been to visit us yet, our roads run through forest and farmlands giving you a complete sence of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city) what can I do and see in a 5km radius from Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat?
