Homtini Guest Farm

Tucked into the Garden Route along the old Seven‑Pass Route between Knysna and George, Homtini Guest Farm perches in indigenous forest with views over the Homtini Pass and Outeniqua Mountains. It’s about 20 minutes from Knysna, roughly 15 minutes to the nearest beach, and close to Millwood Forest, Goukamma Nature Reserve and Knysna Elephant Park.

This working 90ha farm offers luxury self‑catering cottages, a family bungalow and four secluded tented lodges — some with tree‑top verandas and private decks overlooking the river valley. Tents and cottages come with fridges, kettles, supplied linen and en‑suite or shower facilities, while two family tent sites share a rustic kitchen and have their own braai and campfire spot. Expect quiet, private plots in a forested, rural setting that’s both family‑friendly and perfect for couples seeking a forest retreat.

Onsite perks include an outdoor pool and tennis court, picnic and barbecue areas, spa treatments and easy access to hiking and nature reserves. The property is self‑catering friendly and pet‑friendly, so you can unwind with forest views, a campfire evening or a relaxed braai under the stars.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available and free self‑parking is on site. The front desk operates with limited hours.

Continental breakfasts are offered for a fee. For DIY meals there’s a shared rustic kitchen at the family tent site plus barbecue/picnic areas and private braai facilities at several units.
