Tides River Lodge is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in Malgas for tourists visiting the Cape Overberg region.

About Tides River Lodge

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.

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.

Accommodation

Tides offers five self-catering lodges positioned right on the banks of the Breede River. Each of the self-contained self-catering river lodges is meters from the water, has braai facilities verandas and fully equipped kitchens. We provide all linen, all you need is to bring is yourselves and your food.

All our houses are self-catering and have fully equipped kitchen facilities including cookers, fridges, microwaves and all utensils. Linen is provided. We have a riverside lapa where you can braai and meet other guests or book the whole lodge and have a private party.

ACTIVITIES NEARBY

The Breede River supports a rich diversity of fish and birdlife. Birding is excellent and you can expect to see fish eagles, ospreys, kingfishers, oyster catchers, blue cranes, flamingos and many more.

Fishing can be enjoyed year round in the waters of San Sebastian Bay (30 kms away) and right on your doorstep at Tides. Water skiing, wake boarding and tubing can all be done with your own boat. The Breede River is famous for river rafting which can be done with a trained guide at Felix Unite.
