Cabin Features

The Two-Bedroom House includes a living area with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, and a bathroom with a shower. The outdoor bathroom has its own entrance and lets you shower under the stars. Bedrooms have comfortable beds and linen, but there are no doors on the bedrooms - guests seeking privacy should note this. The cabin has high-speed Wi-Fi, free parking, and a terrace with mountain views. Soundproofing is minimal; expect to hear nature.

Self-Catering Only

There is no restaurant on site. The kitchen comes with a microwave, stove, utensils, and basic supplies like coffee, tea, spices, and oil. Guests must bring their own food. The nearest shop is a 20-minute drive away. The host can provide fresh organic vegetables and eggs on request. Outdoor braai (barbecue) facilities are available in the fire pit.

Outdoor Activities

Guests can hike and cycle from the property. A path through the garden leads into the forest. The outdoor fireplace and fire pit are perfect for evening bonfires. Stargazing and sunset views from the terrace are popular. Birdwatching and spotting monkeys are common. The cabin is close to Tsitsikamma National Park and forest plantations for walks.

Location & Access

Pura Vida Forest Cabin is 26 km from Fynbos Golf and Country Estate, 30 km from Melkhoutkraal Railway Station and Assegaaibos Railway Station, and 94 km from Plettenberg Bay Airport. The cabin sits in a quiet forest area with mountain views. It is a 20-minute drive from the nearest shop and a short drive to Tsitsikamma attractions. A car is essential.

Host Services

The host, Caroline, lives nearby and is available without being intrusive. She offers recommendations for local activities, provides fresh organic vegetables and eggs, and can do laundry for guests. The cabin has free Wi-Fi and parking. Guests should be aware of the rustic setting - spiders and other insects are part of the outdoor experience.

“Pura Vida Forest Cabin truly lives up to its name, offering a deeply peaceful escape nestled amongst nature. The thought and love evident in its design, from the warm, light-filled living space to the thoughtfully equipped kitchen and the remarkably unique outdoor shower with mountain vistas, create an undeniably welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place that invites you to unwind completely, with evenings spent by the campfire under a canopy of stars and days filled with the simple abundance of the surrounding garden.”
