Red Barn Restaurant

Posted by goingwithmygut 30 May 2010

Lovely place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Find a spot on the gorgeous patio and tuck into treats such as banana french toast, English fry ups etc.

All food sourced onsite or from nearby farms.

Encompassed with breathtaking views, Phantom Forest is nestled high above the picturesque coastal town of Knysna, just a few hours scenic drive east of Cape Town along the Garden Route. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff and a cluster of luxurious yet surprisingly affordable eco-treehouse suites set amongst an enchanting 137-hectare nature reserve.
Eating here is an adventure in itself. Wander through the forest canopy trails along interlinking wooden boardwalks to the forest buma, an al-fresco fire-deck wilderness viewpoint and restaurant, where a delicious choice of breakfast is served, as well as an entertaining 5-course dinner, with a range of award-winning delights including fresh local oysters.
A highly memorable dining experience under the south african night sky - one not to be missed.

Ille de Pain

Posted by goingwithmygut 27 January 2010

Brilliant little bakery-cafe run by a passionate baker-couple. Great place for brunch. Most hefty steak sandwich I've had anywhere.

Elephant Park {Knysna}

Posted by nic5 29 February 2008

We went on a family holiday to the garden route in South Africa - we saw and did so many things but the one that holds firmly in all our minds is the trip to the elephant park in Knysna. We learnt about the orphan elephants and we were allowed to touch and feed the elephants Harry, Sally and Duma and took pictures - I highly recommend the day out!
