Phantom Forest Eco Reserve is situated 7 kilometres west of the picturesque town of Knysna, at the foot of the spectacular Phantom Pass, in the heart of the awesome Garden Route, South Africa.
Nestled in the Afromontane Forest, with endless views, shared only by Fish Eagles, the large and elevated luxury 'tree suites' are an African celebration of natural textures.
At Phantom Forest Eco Reserve you can experience the evocative sounds, scents and tastes of Africa at their very best!
Wilfred the 'Bush-Butler' speaks 7 languages! Transferred to the Bush vehicle -your Phantom adventure begins. "We heard a Fish Eagle cry, and a door softly closed the door of a rushed & noisy world." What bliss to be at one with Nature in all her glory - sounds, scents, the glory of a Knysna Loerie in flight - the fleeting glimpse of the shy Bushbuck, the heart stopping sunsets, the symphony of birdsong greeting the African dawn.
Bathe in total privacy while gazing in wonder at the night sky. Savor the tastes of Africa in the Boma, layer upon layer, this is indeed food for the soul.
The accommodation at Phantom Forest Eco-Reserve consists of:
Tree Suites
From silky Swazi cotton sheets, to hand-woven coir carpets,
from stunning end-glass gables to the sensuous forest bathroom...
Bathe in luxury to the symphony of birdsong
or the quiet contemplation of the African sky.
Moroccan Tree Suites
In synergy with our theme of touch and taste Africa.
From the sensuous touch of silk and velvet to the visual beauty of mosaic and handcrafted lamps, from double glass showers and twin mosaic basins to double-ended baths. Creating the perfectly romantic honeymoon hideaway.
The next day wonder through the timeless forest,and dream of times gone by. Or canoe up the Knysna River where the Malachite Kingfisher flashes her turquoise plumage.
Or be energetic and explore the surrounding area, or pamper yourself with an aromatherapy massage or just lie by the pool and read. Perhaps I shall settle on a delectable picnic in a secret place.
