On the banks of the Wilderness lagoon, two minutes walk from the beach, award-winning Moontide Guest Lodge has been heralded "the most romantic retreat in the Garden Route" as well as "best value Garden Route accommodation". Eight individually styled cottages and rooms, each with private entrance and outdoor seating area. A birder's paradise, shaded by 400-year-old milkwood trees overlooking the lagoon. Luxurious. Tranquil. A real escape.

The Rooms:

Treetops: A timber treehouse built on stilts, with sliding doors opening onto a private terrace with wonderful elevated views of the lagoon and verdant hillsides of Wilderness from your queensize bed.

Moonriver Suite: A spacious double-volume thatched suite, part of the main house but with private entrance, and great views of the garden.

Milkwood Cottage: Shaded by a 400-year-old milkwood tree, this richly decorated double-level thatched cottage can potentially sleep five. The main bedroom has a kingsize bed looking out onto your private alcove.

Stone Cottage: A century-old stone and thatch dwelling, furnished with antiques and Egyptian-themed artworks, the 2-bedroomed stone cottage is spacious and private; ideal for a family of four or friends. The main bedroom has French doors that open onto the large private courtyard, with comfortable seating for four and water feature under the large milkwood.

Boathouse: By far our smallest room, but for many Moontide's most romantic choice, the Boathouse is located right on the river - wake up in your double bed and watch the changing light on the water and aquatic birdlife preen. Bathroom is compact (corner bath; hand shower) but comfortable.

Moondance: Moondance is under a gorgeous thatch canopy, with dressing anteroom linking the bedroom and bathroom. As with most of the rooms the king-size bed can be made into twins if needed, and the sofa can become a third bed for those travelling with a young child.

Moonshadow 1: The bed (can be made up as twin beds) overlooks a semi-private seating area. Parking bay located a few steps away.

Moonshadow 2: A huge suite with two sets of double doors leading onto a large patio with riverviews. Separate walk-in cupboard; ideal for those travelling with a lot of luggage or staying for more than a few nights. Parking bay located a few steps away.

Breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the shimmering lagoon, where dabchicks and ducks slip between the reeds, and kingfishers keep a beady eye on the fish flitting below, is a highlight of a Moontide stay, and the most relaxing start to any day. Feast your eyes on the cold buffet spread, and/or peruse the menu for our generous cooked breakfasts.

Rates:

While every room is totally unique, there is one price applicable to all, with the exception of the Boathouse which is smaller - although the position of this room, right on the water's edge, makes it a perennial favourite with many of our repeat guests! Each room and cottage remains unique in décor and location: guests may still prebook specific rooms, but on arrival they are welcome to inspect what is available and change their choice (assuming availability for the duration of their stay).

Boathouse: Low Season (May - Sep) R300 per person per night. High Season (Oct - 14 Dec; 7 Jan - April) R450 per person per night. Peak Season (15 Dec - 6 Jan) R600 per person per night.

All other rooms: Low Season R350 per person per night, High Season R600 per person per night, Peak Season R720 per person per night.
