Tides River Lodge \ Accommodation in Malgas

Tides River Lodge lies on the banks of the Breede River near Malgas, in the Cape. A short two and a half hour trip from Cape Town and half an hour from Swellendam, on the way to the Garden Route. Privately owned, this peaceful heaven is a birdwatcher’s and fisherman’s dream.

Tides is an oasis in the dry wheatlands of the Overberg, an 'off the beaten track' destination for those who enjoy something different. Tides is without doubt one of the most unique and pristine locations on the Breede River.

Relax on the lawns, fish off the river bank, explore the river, waterski, canoe or visit the bush pub. For the more adventurous there are 4 x 4 trails just minutes away. Tides offers three luxury self catering villas and one boathouse, all are right on the banks of the river and have stunning views, verandahs and braai areas. There is a slipway and jetty so you can launch your own boat.
