  • Absolutely spectacular

    Our stay at Forest valley cottages was absolutely spectacular. Great unobstructed views over the forest. Well equipped cottage. The perfect place to unwind, relax and take in the joys of nature. Although one feels as though they are in the middle of nature, the cottages are positioned a short drive to the waterfront.

Forest Valley Cottages impact highlights

Forest Valley Cottages is committed to conservation practices which is evident in their sustainable lifestyle. They have a borehole that provides them with a reliable source of water, which gets used on the property. Additionally, they take advantage of rainwater harvesting from the rooftops. To reduce waste and enrich their soil, they employ earthworms for composting, which helps nourish their large vegetable garden and fruit trees. Furthermore, they have a small chicken coop to produce their own eggs and minimize their carbon footprint. In their efforts to reduce their impact on the environment, they actively engage in responsible forestry by cutting their own wood for fireplaces and wood braais, promoting sustainability in every aspect of their daily lives.
