Whether learning an art or craft, bird watching, horse riding on beach
or in forest, paragliding or golfing on a first class course, we have
a list of contact numbers to make the connection effortless.
Bird watching in Knysna is very rewarding, offering a
variety of forest specials, grassland LBJ’s, coastal waders and,
with the Lakes District close by, a variety of ducks and geese are waiting
for you.
Spend a night exploring the taverns and restaurants on
the waterfront, then come home to your cottage and sleep as late as you
like.
This is Knysna and you’re on holiday.
On Glen Faye Farm we are kept pretty active with growing
Blackberries and Figs and making Cheese or dry cured Ham and Bacon.
In season fresh fruit is available and out of season we always have a
stock of Blackberry Jam, Fig Jam and Green Fig Preserve.
Glen Faye Farm lies 15 kms out of Knysna on the Rheenendal Road close
to historic gold mines and pristine forest reserves, home to the last
surviving Knysna elephants.
Within the reserves are wonderful forest walks, biking
trails, historic sights and picnic spots alongside enchanting streams.
Views of the beautiful Outeniqua Mountains, indigenous Yellowwood forests
and green pastures surround the farm.
A tranquil place for you to relax away from the bustle of the city.
A birder friendly place where care is taken to enhance the birding potential
of the area and your enjoyment of it. There are a number of paths leading
to quiet spots in the fynbos.
Take a book or binoculars and soak up a few precious moments with nature.
Scramble down the Glen forest path early in the morning and chances are
you’ll see monkeys, bushbuck or wild boar.
In the evenings you’ll quite often experience the most exquisite
sunsets.
Take a glass of wine and a few snacks. You’ll love it.
Activities in Knysna Area
Your choice of leisure activities is limitless.
Water sports are big here and we are equidistant from a variety of lakes
and beaches for swimming, fishing, boating, horse riding or simply beach
combing.
Walking and hiking are also among the favorite pastimes with safe forest,
coastal and countryside trails right on our doorstep.
For those of you who love nature we have a number of game reserves and
animal parks within driving distance (including the Elephant Park, Cheetah
Program, Crocodile and Ostrich farms, Monkeyland and Birdworld) and our
coastline has wonderful Whale and Dolphin watching spots in season.
The more adventurous will find forest canopy slides, bungee jumping and
wreck diving close by. But if its wining and dining you’re after,
Knysna and Sedgefield abound with pubs, taverns and restaurants to suit
all tastes and pockets.
