We spent the first 4 days of our honeymoon in this lovely, neat cottage, Earth Rose. There was no noise, exept for the sound of nature. We enjoyed the fantastic view from the deck and bedroom. The large jacuzzi was a bonus. If you are looking for a place to relax in a short time, this is place. Thanks Mark,... More

This cottage was amazing. It had the most beautiful views of the Knysna forests and the valley below. We had a relaxing two days and my only regret was that we could not stay longer. I would recommend this to anyone. (If you like a outdoor shower then go for Lavender edge cottage... amazing !!!)

Were really shocked to see the place in real life. There was hair on the bed when we arrived - not ours. Most of the doors were broken. Definitely not the place for honeymooners. Staff had to look for our information, didn't look like they were expecting us - even though we booked the room 3 months prior to vacation.... More

Hi it is very unfortunate for us that of all our reviews, which are positive, your visit, carried such an embarrassing comment, that we were totally unaware of !. Our guests would normally get an arrival/welcome letter, pointing out things, one of the points is that, if you are at all unhappy with the cottage you booked into "kindly notify... More

Beautiful view from balcony. Simple yet elegant self catering cottage with fire place and outside braai, fire wood and charcoal provided to make life easier. We had a very relaxing stay and were sad to leave.

This little jewel just before you get to Knysna is well hidden for a reason! The absolute tranquillity and silence! If you want to get away from the city, then this is the perfect place for you! My husband and I had the fortunate chance to stay here the first three nights while on honeymoon! The little cottage we stayed... More

Sited 7mins, by car, from the Knysna lagoon, on the Cape Town side, then a scenic drive around to Knysna central, craft shops/malls/waterfront/restaurants/events etc…positioned on top of deep forest valleys, a rejuvenating get-away, with amphitheater views of the forested valleys and the mountains surrounding Knysna, from everywhere in the unit, a jewel of the Garden Route. Nothing beats sitting in the spa tub, with some champers and snacks when the last rays appear or disappear over the horizon…you can get some fantastic shots, for the photo album, if you have your camera ready and it won’t be through burglar bars and things because there are none …we have found safety peace and quiet her for 20 odd years, or anyone coming to ask us for a jop! ...although a short distance to town center/shops/waterfront/malls and things. ... more   less
