Company information

Forest Edge stole our hearts and rejuvenated our spirits when we first saw it in 2015. I have owned it since June 2016 and have since refurbished the cottages, revived the gardens and injected some much needed passion into our great staff, not to even mention my own personal and detailed touch. I am passionate about this tranquil, private space where my guests can shed some of their stress and re-connect with one another in the healing glow of nature. My guest's smiles are worth more than our dozen awards! Looking forward to meeting you : - )

Property information

This place is truly magical. It is as if the woodcutters' spirit still guards over us and ensures that we never forget how specials this piece of earth is, not just the forest nature scenes or the animals, but the heritage and the rich history.

Neighbourhood information

Rheenendal is such a melting pot of cultures and personalities. Definitely a farming community that cares for each other and that loves sharing our magical area with our guests.
