OVERVIEW ON PHANTOM FOREST IN KNYSNA
Phantom Forest, on the southern Cape coast of South Africa, in the heart of the magnificent Garden Route, whispers a very special magic. Looking out across the Knysna Lagoon towards the Heads. Nestling in the Afromontane Forest, just seven kilometers from Knysna, with endless views, shared only with our Fish Eagles, the large and elevated luxury ‘tree suites’ are an African celebration of colour and textures. Privately owned, within 137 hectares of nature reserve on the Knysna River, the Phantom Forest offers a unique bio-diversity of Afromontane forest, Cape coastal fynbos and estuarine wetland. There are over 150 bird species, bush pig, bushbuck, grysbok, the rare blue duiker (one of Africa’s smallest antelope), and a variety of smaller game. Emphasis is placed on the use of sustainable methods of construction. Alien vegetation, gleaned directly from our eco-restoration programme, has been utilised in floors, furniture, roofs and boardwalks. Drawing inspiration directly from nature, a harmonious balance has been created, from ragged thatch rising into the forest canopy, to wood shingle and a ‘freshwater’ nature pool. In true eco-terms, man’s intrusion in our wonderful natural environment has been graciously accepted by both flora and fauna.

Dining At Phantom Forest
Feeling wonderfully relaxed, wandered to the ‘Boma’ where dinner is no rushed affair, where international cuisine with local flavor is served in the classic style. End a memorable evening on the fire deck, sipping delectable African-blend coffee and liqueurs.
The Chutzpah: A sparkling Moroccan-style dining & leisure space. A time to play Exotic North African baroque. From mosaic chameleon to Goudi-style lizard lazing off the pool, from colorful cocktails to tagines, dates and Turkish delight, from candelabra to mellow hubbly bubbly pipes. This is another Phantom evening of feasting for the soul.
