Outeniqua Mountain Lodge

The Outeniqua Mountain Lodge is situated approximately 55 kilometers from Knysna and offers a relaxing getaway for individuals who appreciate nature, birdlife, sunshine, and fresh air. The lodge presents various activities such as fly-fishing for rainbow and brown trout in nearby rivers and dams, as well as leisurely strolls on the peaceful farm, swimming in a mountain water pool, and energetic walks or cycling in the fresh mountain air.

For those who are not interested in fly-fishing, the lodge offers hiking opportunities along the Kwaai River, where visitors can observe bushman paintings, enjoy pristine water pools, and experience unspoiled nature. Mountain biking enthusiasts can take on the challenge of cycling up the mountain or follow the Prince Alfred Pass towards Knysna or Uniondale, both offering breathtaking scenic views.

The Outeniqua Mountain Lodge provides accommodation in the form of four well-appointed, self-catering log cabins that can accommodate up to six people each. Two of the cabins are situated on a stocked trout dam, while the other two offer views over the mountain pass and farm valley. The cabins are semi-equipped with a kitchen, a main en-suite bedroom with a queen-size bed and shower, a second bedroom with two three-quarter beds, and a second bathroom with a shower and bath. The lounge area features a comfortable sleeper couch and a ceramic fireplace for cold winter nights. Outdoor facilities include a spacious deck with a table and chairs, as well as a Weber braai. All linen and bath towels are provided.

Additionally, the lodge offers Camp Gwaai, which consists of four spacious Indian (teepee) tents located in a pecan tree forest. The camp is suitable for individuals, couples, families, and small or large groups, with communal facilities that encourage interaction and socialization. Each tent is equipped with four three-quarter beds, cotton linen, extra blankets, shower towels, hot water bottles, and a basic supply of wood for the ceramic wood-burning fireplace. Each tent has its own private bathroom, located in a separate building, with a hot shower and flush toilet.

The lodge also features a building constructed in 1860, which offers an open-plan sleeping and living area, a large fireplace, a bath, two toilets, an outdoor "Adam & Eve" sun-heated shower, a well-equipped kitchen, and a covered veranda facing south. This accommodation is situated approximately 50 meters away from the Kwaai River and includes an outdoor fire pit, providing a cozy and private atmosphere.
