The Studio @ Mount View Lodge is an upmarket pet-friendly studio, featured in the Getaway magazine, and designed to sit unobtrusively in a rural setting. The Studio is completely off-grid for water and electricity. Water is rain-water, supplemented from our tested, pure borehole. Electricity is solar, and there is a generator for rainy or cloudy times when the solar batteries run flat. It does make some noise, but that's a small price to pay for a gentler way of life! The setting is safe and peaceful, and encourages rest and rejuvenation. It boasts beautiful views over farmland to the mountains and forests, but is only a 15 minute drive to Sedgefield and 30 minutes to Knysna with their shops, restaurants and surrounding beaches. The studio offers a spacious and sunny lounge, kitchen and dining area with a fireplace and gorgeous views out over farmland to the mountains. Large windows and doors look out onto greenery planted to encourage birds, butterflies and bees. A feature bathroom allows you to commune with nature, and luxurious bedding on the King sized bed (or 2 singles) allows for peaceful sleep with only the sounds of nature as your companion. The kitchen has a 2 plate gas hob, a microwave and decent sized fridge, and is well equipped for stay-in meal prep. A paved patio area under a pergola has glorious views onto the Outeniqua mountain range, perfect for sundowners and a braai after a day exploring, or for simply soaking up the sun in a quiet and relaxing environment

The property is based in a quiet and safe rural area, a 15 minute drive from Sedgefield, and 30 minutes to Knysna and Wilderness - all through forestry plantations. Being close to the Garden Route Trail Park, the Seven Passes Road, the Knysna forests and numerous hiking trails, this is a perfect base for cyclists and adventurers. Or if activity is not your thing, a romantic retreat for couples (although there is a sleeper couch for young children!), and an off-the-beaten track hide-away for the travel-weary. Groenvlei / Lake Pleasant sits at the end of our road and is well-known for it's bass fishing. The Garden Route lake system and the lagoons of Sedgefield, Knysna and WIlderness offer numerous angling, boating / sailing, and bathing options.
