Tides River Lodge

Tides River Lodge lies on the banks of the Breede River near Malgas, in the Cape. A short, scenic two and a half hour trip from Cape Town and a half an hour from Swellendam, on the way to the Garden Route.

Tides is an oasis in the dry wheatlands of the Overberg, an "off the beaten track" destination for those who enjoy something different.

Relax in a deck chair on the lawn, fish off the river bank, explore the river by boat or visit the bush pub. For the more adventurous there are 4 x 4 trails just minutes away.

Privately owned, this peaceful haven is your ideal accomodation for birdwatching, fishing and watersports. For the energetic there is a slipway and private jetty so you can launch your own boat. Waterskiing and tubing are allowed on the river but jet skiing is not permitted.

Nearby is a challenging 4 x 4 trail, De Hoop Nature Reserve, the Bontebok Park, the Pont at Malgas and whale watching at Cape Infanta. Tides is a real getaway destination.
