FOREST EDGE GPS COORDINATES:
Forest Edge is 20minutes scenic drive from Knysna, into the mountains
and forest. Close enough to amenities, far enough to avoid congestion,
traffic and crowds.
FOREST EDGE DIRECTIONS:
From the N2 (16km from Sedgefield and 1.5km from Knysna lagoo bridge):
- turn north onto the Rheenendal road.
- After 11.5km, just past the Rheenendal Petrol Station and Totties Eatery,
turn right at the Bibby's Hoek sign.
- It becomes a dirt road (quite possible even by small cars) - follow
it for 2.3km.
- Turn left at the intersection (Stop sign) and continue for 1.4km.
- Forest Edge is the last property on this road: tranquility at its best!
