Our Heart

Experience the magic and tranquility of Peace of Eden, set alongside indigenous forest filled with chattering monkeys, bushbuck, porcupines and abundant bird life. In enchanting surroundings meander down lantern lit, tree lined pathways to a variety of beautifully simple, yet character filled Chalets, Cabins and Safari Tents offering 'just what you need' amenities for a comfy stay. Conviently situated too, only 8 km's off the N2 along the Rheenendal Rd, tucked away behind Knysna is this delightful safe hideaway.
Share this creative beautiful envrionment with proprietors Jen and Howard Bucher who are passionate about nature, music and the arts and who also run a music studio from this forested paradise situated close to all the major attractions of Knysna in the heart and safety of the Garden Route. The lagoon, beaches, forest trails and river are all a mere 10 minutes away and the major Garden Route sights are within an easy hour and a half's drive away, making this a prefect base to explore all its attractions. This enterprising family and their friendly staff are more than generous with sharing their knowledge of the area and the local secret spots you can enjoy in the vast forest and waterways nearby.

You can just chill out on a hammock strung up between ancient yellow wood trees where you will view an amazing variety of birds, or choose to go on horseback through the forest, paddle on the lily pond, or go on a guided forest, adventure or cultural Tour with Howard who is also a legendary field guide who's knowledge both amazes and amuses. For something a little less strenuous Jen can organise a Massage, Reiki, Meditation or an Indian Head and Shoulder Treatment in the Deep Forest Thereapy Tent where mind , body and spirit will be soothed to the symphony of forest sounds.
The following quotes from a letter from guests says it all.......
"I could almost hear the forest fairies rustling their leafy world to peer out to take a look at who were to be their neighbours for the next week" .......... and "At night the natural silence is swallowing and the star-littered dark skies, breathtaking.............and more again " You are greeted good morning by the friendliest horses, as they graze near the wooden fence in front of your chalet and the farms Scottie dog, Zoe, comes checking if your braai from the night before resulted in any treats for her.
