Moonriver Suite

On the banks of the tranquil Touw river, a few minutes stroll from Wilderness beach, this is great base from which to explore the surrounding Garden Route National Park, or just spend a few days soaking up the sun and birdwatching from the riverside decks.

THE LODGE

Moontide Riverside Lodge is shaded by 400-year-old milkwood trees, and offers direct access to the river – great for swimming, canoeing (there are several canoes available) and birdwatching. Rates include a full South African breakfast: weather permitting, this is served on the deck overlooking the river – one of the loveliest locations on the Garden Route. Management is on hand for advice on what to do, and assist with activity or restaurant bookings. Should you prefer to dine in for dinner, several local restaurants offer deliveries, and Stone Cottage is equipped for self catering.

SLEEPING

Moonriver Suite can accommodate up to 4 guests and is ideal for couple or family. One of the lodge's most spacious suites, it features a king-size bed (can be made into twin beds) and the mezzanine level can accommodate two children. En-suite bathroom with bathtub and separate shower.

LIVING

Located in the main thatched homestead, Moonriver Suite has a small kitchenette and bar counter overlooking the garden with a private, shaded patio, comfortable chairs and river views. Amenities include minibar, tea and coffee-making facilities, TV, safe and hair dryer. Towelling gowns and toiletries are provided.

THE AREA

Wilderness is a short distance east from the city of George, through the Kaaiman's River Pass. It is known for its long white sand beach, and is surrounded by the Garden Route National Park, an intricate tapestry of habitats: rivers, lakes, forests, fynbos, estuaries and beaches.

Easy and scenic striking distance from Knysna (40 minutes) and Mossel Bay (45 minutes); and an hour from Oudtshoorn or Plettenberg Bay.
