An idyllic Garden Route spa destination, to reacquaint yourself with nature and renew the harmony within.
At the base of the lovely Tsitsikamma Mountains, alongside ancient rivers winding their way to the Indian Ocean, lies the beautiful Forest Ferns Estate. Occupying a magnificent position that borders onto the Tsitsikamma National Park, it has enchanting views of the rugged coastline, river gorge, and surrounding plantations.
Open fire places in the lounge and dining room, delicious cuisine, a Jacuzzi, sauna, heated swimming pool, and farm lake with jetty are some of the features that offer an oasis of tranquillity to guests wanting to disconnect from the routine of their busy lives. This is a really special destination.
Wake up to the sound of nothing but the gentle flow of the river or birdlife from the surrounding forest and fynbos – a stunning setting. The Fernery offers a unique escape into nature’s embrace. Immerse yourself in the beauty of our gardens, where every corner is a testament to nature’s artistry, a place where one really can unwind.
Be pampered in one of the Garden Route’s most beautiful and serene settings with a range of massages, facials, manicure and pedicure treatments. There are trails to hike on the property or you can hire a bike to ride further. If you can tear yourself away from the lodge, the Tsitsikamma Forest, the village and Storms River are wonderful to explore.
