Description

The Tides River Lodge is an “off-the-track" destination for those who enjoy nature. It lies on the banks of the Breede River, near Malgas. It is a 2-and-a-half-hour scenic drive from Cape Town and just an hour from Swellendam. The Tides is located in a sheltered cove with a sand island directly in front of the property and is one of the most unique and pristine locations on the Breede River.

The self-catering accommodation comprises 4 uniquely designed and set-up houses accommodating between 2 and 8 guests per unit, all of which enjoy modern comforts. The Boathouse accommodates 2 guests, Cob Cottage accommodates 6 guests, Heron House accommodates 6 guests and Zebra Lodge can accommodate 9 guests.

The bedrooms are furnished with queen-sized beds while the bigger units have single-bed bedrooms as well. The houses are right on the banks of the Breede River, just metres from the water. Each house has a verandah, braai facilities, cell phone signal, wireless internet access and a fully equipped kitchen including a fridge, a stove and oven, a microwave, a kettle, a toaster, and a chest freezer.

There is a communal riverside lapa where guests can braai. Guests will also have access to hot tubs, while some of the houses have their own hot tubs, taking relaxation to the next level.

There is bird watching and canoeing right at the lodge. Canoes are free to explore the river. De Hoop Nature Reserve is 14 km away and other activities include hiking the Potberg Mountains, cycling the mountain bike trails, paddling the river, visiting a wine farm, or just relaxing on the banks of the river.
