About Highlands Lodge Mountain Retreat

Highlands Lodge Mountain Retreat is exactly what the name says. We are a small mountain retreat on the Garden Route in the Outeniqua Mountains, comprising of 16 free-standing log chalets.

We are situated on the road between George and Oudtshoorn, 20 km's from George and 35 km from Oudtshoorn. We are set in a rural setting named Waboomskraal, amongst a farming community which cultivates hops, apples and pears (for the export market).

Accommodation

We have cabins sleeping two, three, four and six people. All cabins are free standing spacious log cabins with private entrances and have wooden decks overlooking the natural scenic surroundings and the Outeniqua Mountains. Eight of the cabins have fireplaces and all chalets have their own braai facilities. 14 of the 16 the log wood cabins are self catering, and these units are serviced daily.

Please see the individual cabin descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

Facilities

The kitchens in the cabins are equipped with a fridge, 2 plate stove, microwave oven, kettle, toaster, cutlery and crockery. We provide all linen and towels. Wood can be purchased on site for fire places and braais. Our retreat can sleep 70 people and our restaurant can cater for up to 70 people.

We are also a family friendly establishment; ideal for families wanting to escape from the hustle and bustle of ordinary life in order to spend quality family time in a safe environment for the kids without any TV's interrupting communications, and romantic escapes for leisure time for couples in front of wood fires in the chalets with a good bottle of red wine. The venue is ideal for short walks and picnics in the forest.
