    The beds were comfortable with bed heaters for the cool nights! The kitchen had everything we needed and the host, Erna, was just the sweetest! It was close to the beach. We felt safe and had a lovely time.

    It was set in amongst the trees in a tranquil environment. The home was full of interesting pieces of furniture and decor. I loved sitting outside on the deck and listening to the forest birds.

    Lovely host, super friendly and helpful beyond expectations. We ran into each other in another town the day of our departure and she greeted us with a warm smile and open arms (and an excited dog).

    Beautiful setting overlooking the trees. Our host Erna was super helpful and waited till we arrived to give us a tour of our accommodation and the keys. We were greeted every day by a pair of Knysna Loeries. Very special indeed!

    What a lovely home from home. The very comfortable apartment was furnished with the owner’s grandparents furniture - beautiful old carved wooden furniture. We chose to sleep in the four poster bed rather than the big brass bed. Everything you...

    We loved our stay here. Erna is a wonderful host, so sweet, kind and welcoming. We felt right at home, except we felt like we were in the trees and it was amazing. Her arrival instructions were clear, and she prepared her home for us by turning on...

    Quiet, safe, comfortable accommodation in forest surroundings abounding with birds. Witnessed the Knysna Loerie there for the first time in my life.

The accommodation compliments the pristine beauty of the natural environment, with an authentic, cozy Victorian style, two double bedroom self catering, semi - detached cottage. The holiday accommodation is accessible via a wooden staircase to the upper floor, where there is an outdoor eating area. The living room and kitchen together offers a great open plan space, and flows into the balcony area. Both bedrooms have comfortable double beds and wardrobes. One bathroom with a shower. Kitchen is equipped with a double sink, kettle, oven, microwave, fridge and dinning table. The owner Erna lives on site 500m away in her own cottage, but I leave quests to explore and enjoy the surrounding activities on their own. ( GPS coordinates does not bring you to property, rather use Google Maps. We are in Forest Drive, the Road next to the mountain, there are no chronological street numbers ) Please Note: ... the electricity supply and water shortages may occur...although very seldom...we really try to keep the Valley as unspoiled as possible.
A humble person who put others needs first. I love to spoil people and would go the extra mile to let my quests feel safe and satisfied within their environment. I am really not a conflict seeker...if everything is not up to standard...kindly discuss it with me...there are so many beautiful ways to overcome obstacles. My motto in life is: " It is only through Giving that we are Receiving...! Kindly get in contact with me, as i can help with the clear directions to the accommodation.

We are part of De Vasselot indigenous Tsitsikamma National Park...therefore not liable for any injuries or damages on the premises. i trust it would be a memorable experience to stay in Nature's Valley....lots of love and light!

Nature's Valley is a pristine beautiful little village with less then 100 permanent residents during the year... where one can still dance with the rhythm of nature! Nature's Valley is often referred to as the Jewel of the Garden Route or a piece of Heaven which fell on earth. Imagine walking within the indigenous forest of the Ttsitsikamma Nature Reserve or on the two kilometer unspoiled beach with a zero crime rate. The amount of oxygen from the sea and the indigenous forest assure one to sleep like a baby angel again...we call the tranquil, no rush atmosphere with the long hours of sleep usually the Outeniqua rust! Nature's Valley offers a real hide away for the tired soul. Various services are offered who mainly focus on health and healing, nutrition and deep relaxation.
