Highly Recommended Self-Catering Cottages/Chalets
Spend your days exploring the farm’s own forest reserve, getting to know the animals, lazing by the pool or taking a short trip to the myriad attractions and outdoor activities that make Knysna such a bustling and popular South African holiday destination.

In the evening why not book a sauna or simply sit on your deck watching the African sun disappear over the nearby Outeniqua Mountains before cooking a meal of having a ‘Braai’ all with delicious locally sourced produce.

Both the cottages and lodge tents are very well equipped, cosy and yet reasonably priced. Homtini, is a 90 ha Organic Farm with over 60 ha of indigenous forest and is a haven for all of those seeking to spend time in nature, sleep under the stars and generally get away from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of day-to-day life.

Cottages have a lounge with an open plan kitchen, 2 bedrooms (queen-size bed and 2/3 single beds), bathroom with shower, TV and open fireplace. Each secluded cottage is surrounded by a wooden deck with its own private Braai (BBQ) that offers breathtaking of the Garden Route’s Outeniqua Mountains.

The two Family Lodge Tents are located on a large secluded site, with large campfire and seating and come with en-suite bathrooms and a wooden veranda, all set on the edge of the forest with beautiful mountain vistas and possibly the outdoor shower with the best view in the Western Cape.

The couples lodge tents are ideal for the romantically inclined as they are all on their own hidden away nestling between the forest and the Cape fynbos. With their own en-suite bathrooms, kitchenette and Weber Braais and unforgettable views from the deck you might just find yourself not wanting to leave!
