Explore the magic of Knysna's coastal bush in secure seclusion.
Buffalo Valley is a large private reserve bordering the serene Goukamma River just two kilometres upstream from the warm Indian Ocean beaches of Buffels Bay. Across the river, rolling fynbos-covered hills lead to milkwood forests and pristine sea shores managed by the Goukamma Nature and Marine Reserve.
Each self-contained bush lodge is unique, designed around its particular setting. The Forest Lodge nestles in a milkwood thicket at the edge of the river, the River Lodge has a spectacular view of the Goukamma River, and the Vlei Lodge overlooks a tranquil bird vlei.
