Excellent

What guests love

Multiple reviews appreciated the helpful host (24 reviews), the valley views from the private decks, stargazing opportunities (33 reviews), and hiking trails in Harkerville (18 reviews). Many guests praised the entertainment area, specifically the fire pit/braai area and wood-fired hot tub (52 reviews), and found the check-in process easy (16 reviews). Guests also enjoyed being close to the Saturday Harkerville Market and not too far from Knysna.

What guests don’t love

Several guests commented on the Wi-Fi - unreliable at times, being secluded in the forest, but that it encouraged them to disconnect (19 reviews), inconvenient distance from major shops (11 reviews), and difficult road leading to the property, but no 4x4 required (30 reviews).

Recommended for who?

This property is ideal for couples on a romantic stay, solo travellers seeking a quiet retreat, families looking to relax and connect and active travellers keen on hiking the indigenous forests and enjoying stargazing.

Stayed at: Adventurer's Escape HQ

A must visit. Beautiful scenery. The owner goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Just far enough out of town to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, but close enough for convenience.
