The Cliffhanger Cottage is a luxurious self-catering timber chalet perched on the edge of a steep drop into a forested valley. It boasts unspoilt views over the treetops to the Knysna forest and the Outeniqua Mountains.
The cottage offers a superbly equipped, beautifully furnished and very private hideaway for honeymooners, lovers and nature lovers. It is situated along the Rheenendal road, in the country, yet only 15 minutes to the centre of Knysna. 15 minutes in the other direction finds you in the Knysna forest, and 20 minutes in yet another direction will get you to Buffalo Bay, an exquisite swimming beach!
There are three options of cottages, we stayed in the Hedge Cottage. The location is ideal as it is close enough to enjoy all of Knysna's activities with the forest walks including the Millwood Mine historical site nearby.
The cottage is decorated beautifully and is comfortable, with everything a self catering traveller requires. There is complete privacy as each cottage is set apart. A lot of effort has been put into ensuring that this is first class accommodation.

About the neighborhood
Cliffhanger Chalet is situated on a smallholding in a country environment, a 15 minute scenic drive away from Knysna, and approximately 20 minutes away from Sedgefield. The chalet is located on a steep slope overlooking the treetops with a sweeping view across to the Outeniqua Mountains. It is very private and suited to those looking to get away from it all. There is safe parking close to the cottage.
For the more adventerous there are many activities, from bungy jumping to zip lining, abseiling and boating activities to entertain you. The forest has walking and cycling trails and Buffalo Bay Beach is a wonderful stretch of beach to walk on, or just enjoy soaking up our South African sun. All within a 20 minute drive.
On a Saturday, there are popular food and craft markets at Sedgefield and also at Harkerville, en route to Plettenberg Bay.
Of course the chalet itself is a wonderful address to unwind and just enjoy the peace and tranquility!!
