Very safe area,pleasant for neighborhood walking,super quiet and tranquil, no traffic noise from town,no visible houses behind house,,forever green belt next to house on western/northern side. Forest/garden facing standard rooms are warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and still offer great views at a reduced rate. The Guest House overlooks a private school with sport facilities, then the gaze is swept further over a nature reserve and lots of greenery, towards the waterfront,estuary and right out the Knysna Heads.
