The first bedroom contains a double bed and an upstairs mezzanine with a single daybed. The second bedroom contains 2 single beds and an upstairs mezzanine with a single daybed.

The lounge area contains a fireplace, camp chairs and a single daybed. The lights are solar-powered.

A braai grid is provided and firewood, as well as firelighters, are available for purchase.

It’s just a short walk from the lodge through coastal forest to the grassy banks of the river where you can enjoy a spot of fishing. The area contains 2 circular walks where you can view a variety of birdlife in the mixed coastal dune thicket and fynbos, as well as gain access to the Goukamma Nature Reserve.
