Moontide Riverside Lodge

We spent 4 nights here. Love the place. It's peaceful and you feel inspired to enjoy your life, just being here. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Just the place to come and relax.It was so good we came back two days later, to spend the last two days of our holiday relaxing at the Boat House.

What a place! And what a welcome! What is Judge a wonderful person. He made our stay at this beautiful place even more special. Judge was so driven to provide us the best service and experience. Thank you again and hope to meet again at the Moontide lodge. Cheers

I cannot rave enough over this lodge.If you have kids, this is the perfect accommodation in Wilderness. Virtually in the minute of our arrival, the kids were off our back, roaming the area and paddling with a canoe on the lagoon.We were lucky to have the Stone Cottage which is absolutely lovely with its own courtyard, a kitchenette and two separate bedrooms - a perfect family accommodation.The lodge itself is a place a tranquility with just the right amount of shade from mature Milkwood trees.The staff is outstanding. Maureen, the owner, is a superhost with lovely taste (decoration, breakfast menu). So is Candy who handled our booking and day-to-day affairs.We will be back for sure!

I traveled with my wife, my daughter and 9 American friends and we loved it so much that we came back the next month with 12 more friends! Every single person in our group said that Moontide was their favorite place to stay in all of South Africa. The staff is amazing. They are so helpful and friendly. They helped direct us to everything local. From the restaurants to the hikes and outdoor excursions. The Chefs make the best omelet that I’ve ever had.My wife and I have spent maybe 6 months living in various places between Wilderness and Hoekville and Moontide is by far our favorite place to stay. The stewards of this land take great pride in their work and it shows. Thank you Moontide for helping us facilitate memories of a lifetime for us and all our friends. We’ll see you again soon!

The manger of the lodge is the best. Breakfast was really nice, great service and great menu( even vegan/vegetarian)It was raining a lot and there was a leakage in the kitchen. There are mosquitos and mosquito spray was provided, but we had a baby and needed to buy a mosquito net on our own since we didn’t want to use chemical stuff.

Most gracious host and attentive management! The room decorated with care and all requirements for a comfortable stay. The garden an absolute delight, beautiful setting on the Touws river. Great selection and tasty breakfast!

One of our favourite stops & a highlight of our road trip along the garden route: a haven of peace hosted by an incredible team. We stayed in the adorable boat house which felt very private and so cosy! Each room is unique and they are all spread across the peaceful lodge ground. Unlike many places we stayed with that might have been more luxurious/modern, this felt like a truly authentic experience and I would choose it over a luxurious hotel any day.We took the hotel kayaks up the river to explore, spent rainy mornings reading in the common area (the couches were incredibly cosy) and cosied up by the fire in our room in the evening. I cannot wait to visit again in the future and discover another room.A true highlight is the team: so personable, so approachable, always happy to make accommodations and it really felt like being welcomed into their lodge rather than checking into another hotel. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable.I could not recommend it MORE!

Stunning location, beautiful rooms (we stayed in the delightfully stylish boathouse suite), delicious breakfast and exceptional service from the staff, especially JP & Candi. We found the owner Maureen to be most gracious and enchanting. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Such an incredible experience. My wife and I had our honeymoon and it was truly amazing.The staff helped plan our adventures. Maureen, Candy and JP. Thanks to you we had an incredible honeymoon.

Thank you for a relaxing stay. Service was outstanding. Big thank you to JP, Candi and Judge. Breakfast was amazing!
