Description

Homtini Guest Farm with its stunning views of the Outeniqua Mountains is a 90Ha working farm nestling in the indigenous forest overlooking the Homtini pass. It lies along the old Seven-pass Route between Knysna and George and forming part of the Garden Route, 20 minutes from Knysna town.

Bordering Homtini Guest Farm is the Millwood Nature reserve with its beautiful golden streams and waterfalls in a large rainforest and its historic gold mines .
To enjoy: romantic picnic sites with braai areas, a little café with home-made food and plenty of hikes through the forest which you can end by jumping in a cool deep spring!
We are 15 km inland from the Goukamma Nature Reserve , a coastal area with deserted beaches, high sand dunes with walking paths and the Goukamma river which is great for canoeing (the river at the bottom of the guest farm comes out into the Goukamma River).
Just up the road from the guest farm you can go for beautiful forest horserides or a flight in a micro-light plane. For the more adventurous Knysna and its surrounds is a centre for outdoor pursuits, anything from diving, abseiling, quad-biking, paragliding, and even bungy jumping is within easy reach.

Knysna with its wonderful variety of shops, restaurants, pubs, cinemas and lagoon cruises is only twenty minutes away. Twice per year Knysna organizes some special events: The Oyster Festival during the first two weeks of July, with mountain bike competitions, marathons and the famous waterfront , and the Gastronomica week during the last week of September, with theatre, street music, art and lovely food to enjoy.
