Me and my girlfriend had 2 nights at this romantic place. Beautiful view down on the forest, lovely facilities and a warm welcome although we came a bit late. Everything was perfect and we really loved the extraordinary shower.

This was our second stay at Cliffhanger Cottages. Previously we stayed in the Cliffhanger cottage but the Cliffedge chalet is definitely our favourite. The sliding doors and large balcony allows for uninterrupted views over the trees in the valley. The setting is really amazing - you are near enough to Knysna if you wish to do some shopping and exploring... More

Cliffhanger Cottages have a totally unspoilt view of the forest and the Mountains beyond. Secluded on the side of a hill it is like you are the only person on earth. If you want to be totally alone with nature then you will love it. Spotless clean and with all amenities I have loved staying here. Waking up in the... More

We stayed at cliffhanger cottages for the second part of our honeymoon. We were blown away by the decor, furnishings, view & atmosphere. Everything was superb. For self catering accommodation, this place really was 5-star. I don't know how anyone can stay here and be dissapointed. Our cottage had a huge shower with large window where you have the most...

Seeing the web photographs, we were excited to spend our honeymoon at such a beautiful location in a cottage with fine finishings. Unfortunately we had to cut our honeymoon short, because we could not sleep on the rock hard, boatshaped old matress. We slept on the couch the second night and left a day early with agonizing backpain. Pity that... More

As the owners of Cliffhanger Cottages we were most concerned that our guests had found the bed uncomfortable and only told us about it on their departure. Guest comfort is our main focus and we would have done our best to resolve the problem for them. We examined the mattress which we know is not old, and found it neither... More

We spent 3 nights at Cliffhanger Cottages during our honeymoon. It was simply wonderful. The views are absolutely spectacular, and as a honeymooner, this secluded and quiet spot is really the most romantic way to spend a few days. We arrived to a warm welcome from the owners wife, who phoned us to check that we were alright, after we... More
