Featuring a hot tub, Forest Harmony is situated in Knysna. Boasting full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The farm stay features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

If you're looking for a place to forget that life exists, this is the place to go! Do not think that you can "arrive and then go to town", you're going to arrive and wish to stay. Especially if you are an outdoorsy camping type. You might feel lost on the road going there, but just follow Crosby's directions and you will soon be in Harmony. We stayed in the Whale Teepee, our first day there was buckets of non-stop rain, and we made the decision to extend our stay. When the sun finally made its debut we were captured by the views of the surrounding mountains. We also had a look around and saw the inside of one of the domes. We will just have to return to spend more time here and try and find the trail to the waterfall next time. They are pet friendly, with resident Patch and Doodles welcoming you when you arrive. It's not a 5-star lodge, it's 5-star glamping. With everything you need in the Teepee to make food on the gasburner if it's raining, or on the fire if it's not. There is also a communal kitchen that you can use. There are solar powered showers and fire power baths in nature. Make sure to try both! There is plenty of wood and you can either split the wood yourself or ask George to help you with some wood for the bath or a fire. There is also a garden, just make sure to watch where you step. Well worth the stop and highly recommend 👌

    Super private, you can't see anyone, no one sees you. The place is kitted out and quite luxurious and rustic. I loved everything about this place, it's well thought out, hidden, and convenient. We could hear owls at night and fish eagles in the day. The stars out here are breathtaking. It's so quiet and self-contained. The braai area is really quite lovely. Suitable for a couple.

    This place is utterly gorgeous. Up in the mountains on the edge of Gouna forest, this eco farm is perched on the edge of a deep valley with stunning views. About 15 minutes drive from Knysna its location is far enough to get away from it all, but close enough to be accessible. The accommodation is simple and tastefully put together. Lovely braai area, fire heated pool. Inside has comfortable beds and living area. Friendly hosts. An awesome experience!

    The kids had an awesome time petting the farm animals, milking the cows and roaming freely and safely on the establishment.

    The Stylish Farmhouse was an amazing place to stay. Very tranquil with a beautiful view of the river and mountains from the balcony. Absolutely comfortable and everything was provided for. We loved it and would definitely go back again!

    Off the beaten track on a farm setting . Rustic but pleasant and quiet. A great getaway if you don't mind roughing it a bit. The owners were pleasant and helpful. Firewood and other basics all came with the package.

    Beautiful surroundings and exceptional farm experience. Our one year old son was thrilled with the farm animals and the staff was so kind and helpful. We also enjoyed the nearby restaurant recommended by the guest farm. Perfect place if you want to escape the city and spend less time looking at screens. The homemade brownies were delicious
