Lakeside Lodge is an exclusive eco-retreat on the banks of a magnificent lake in the Wilderness National Park, in the Knysna District of South Africa's beautiful Cape Garden Route region. Only 5 minutes to the beach, and close to Knysna and George, Lakeside Lodge offers self catering or bed and breakfast accommodation set in the most peaceful forest and lake surroundings.

Our Charming garden provides a serene setting for you to enjoy our delicious breakfasts, and our cosy lodgings away from the crowd are a secure base for Honeymooners, Nature lovers, or Adventure seekers. There are seven tastefully decorated lake facing rooms, a guest lounge with a full size billiard table, a computer with 24 hour internet connection and a welcoming fireplace for those chilly winter days. Outdoor activities include swimming pool, mountain bikes, tennis court, golf chipping on the lawns, croquet court and spectacular bird watching. Canoes are available for hire.

On our doorstep we have unspoilt golden beaches on the Indian Ocean, fishing, diving, paragliding, hikes, trails and more. And within scenic day drives you can visit the Cango caves and Ostrich Farms, ride the old Steam train from the Railway museum in George along the coast to the Maritime museum in Mossel Bay, picnic in the Knysna forests

Lakeside Lodge ... paradise found, in the Garden Route of South Africa.
