Directions

Directions:

Phantom Forest Lodge is 7 kilometres west of the picturesque Southern Cape town of Knysna at the foot of the spectacular Phantom Pass.

When approaching from Cape Town turn left onto the Phantom Pass road the Phantom Pass turn-off is located just before the road bridge over the Knysna River. If you are approaching from Knysna turn right immediately after crossing the Knysna River.

Follow the Phantom Pass road for about 1.2km and you will see Phantom Forest's entrance on the left denoted by a wooden sign. The Phantom Pass Road is tarred until just beyond the entrance to the lodge. Turn left into the entrance and follow the cobbled track up to the gatehouse. You will park your car here and Phantom Forest's staff will transport you to the lodge.
