Tenaka Lodge

Tenaka Lodge (Zulu word for "It is Beautiful" is situated within the Phantom River View estate, offering secluded living high up in the mountainous forest above Knysna.  The views over the indigenous forested valley provide an excellent opportunity to experience nature, but yet not give up any of the comforts of modern living.

The cabin has three tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double and two twin rooms. The main room opens out onto the deck and has a full en-suite complete with corner bath and shower.  All linen and towels are provided.

The lounge/dining area is sumptuously decorated in true African style, and is equipped with Satellite television and a Jetmaster fire place for those cold nights.  The kitchen is equipped with every modern convenience and the main bathroom provides yet another opportunity to soak away your cares.

The Knysna forest has inspired authors and artists, and is in part of a nature reserve. The world renowned Knysna Heads can be seen during walks through the estate.  The nearby estuarine wetland & eco-reserve is home to over 150 bird species and a variety of small mammals including buck and monkeys.  The town of Knysna is a mere 10 minute drive from the cabin with the nearest pub, Crabs Creek, on the lagoonside only 5 minutes down the road.

Whether you are eating breakfast on the deck, relaxing in the heated spa in the cool of the evening or enjoying a glass of wine in front of a log fire during winter, your stay at Tenaka is guaranteed to be an unforgettable one with many happy returns.
