About Forest Hall Estate Accommodation and Venue

The Great Fire of 1869 has gone down in the annals of local history as possibly the most devastating and terrifying event of the times.

It swept through the fynbos and forest between the sea and the mountains with extraordinary ferocity, burning almost the entire area from what is now Humansdorp (near Port Elizabeth) through to Mossel Bay. The loss of habitat and life was absolute. As the Newdigate family, their servants, and others who had fled there from the surrounding communities huddled in the house, under a black sky choked with ash, their desperate prayers seemed answered. For hundreds of miles around nothing had been spared, but a sudden change in wind direction and a dense fog that rolled up the cliffs from the sea turned the flames; alone in the area, Forest Hall, and the fortunate people cowering inside, survived to begin anew.

I have never seen a place with such amazing and picturesque views. Foresthall is certainly one of the most unique places in South Africa. Beautiful old manor and friendly staff.

You won’t believe it but we stayed at Forest Hall during our winter break in 1987. We lived in the UK at the time, now Australia. The Belgian lady who ran the place was wonderful and so was her cuisine! Happy to see the big old trees on the front lawn are still there. Tot siens van Australië

Forest Hall Estate is used as a wedding venue situated in the forest. The road to get to the house is very rocky but the end result is worth the discomfort of the drive! Another beautiful area situated in The Crags near Plettenberg Bay well worth a visit.
