Moontide Riverside Lodge — Hotel in George

We can't praise this lodge enough. It is stunning with little cottages around the site each decorated with an eclectic mix of art work collected by the owner over a period of 30 years. Moontide is set alongside a lagoon where the guest house have a couple of jettys from which you can take out canoes or a pedalos, free of charge, for lazy trips down the river or you may prefer to take an early morning swim. We opted for a guided river trip, the boat picked us up from one of the jettys and it lasted about 90 minutes. We were taken down the river through the national park, very tranquil. All the staff are welcoming and Janet, in reception, offered lots of information and advice of what to do and where to eat in the local area. She was extremely helpful. The breakfast were good and all the staff happy and helpful. Our two day stay was too short and next time we travel from the UK, Moontide Guest Lodge will certainly be on our list of places to stay and this time for longer. Thank you all for a...

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...

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...
