“If it is quiet, views of indigenous forest and a beautifully landscaped garden you are after, look no further” – Heila D
Immerse yourself in Nature

It is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including porcupine, bushbuck, wild pig, monkeys, baboons, spotted genet, caracal, honey badgers as well as an abundance of incredible bird species, including the iconic Knysna Turaco.
