BLACKWATERS RIVER LODGE
Guest House
in Knysna, Garden Route Western Cape, South Africa

Welcome to Blackwaters River Lodge,Knysna and 5 minutes from one of the coasts best bathing areas, Buffalo Bay beach.

We offer bed and breakfast as well as self-catering accommodation. Each suite is individually decorated with a touch of Africa. There is a cosy lounge with a private pub, plasma screen satellite television and log fireplace.

The accommodation consists of:

• 2 Deluxe suites upstairs in the Lodge both with full bathrooms en-suite, fireplaces and balcony's overlooking the river and surrounding forests.
• Spacious standard rooms in the garden complex, with full bathrooms en-suite and verandahs onto the gardens.
• 2 Family suites in the garden complex, with full bathrooms en-suite and verandahs onto the gardens.
• Small but cosy twin bedded rooms, one in the garden and one upstairs in the Lodge. All our rooms have ceiling fans, TV, coffee and tea making facilities.

Bird life is prolific, with trees having been planted especially to attract them to our gardens. 25% (78 species) of Garden Route birds can be seen or heard throughout the year right here at Blackwaters River Lodge.

There are four excellent golf courses within 60kms. Should you wish to improve your short game or just have some family fun, we have our own very challenging 9-hole Mashie (pitch & putt) golf course on the estate. Longest hole 140 meters, shortest 52 meters.

Why not canoe down the gently flowing river, all the way to the beach if you have the time, or relax around the swimming pool. For the more energetic there is hiking, biking, gliding, abseiling - all within 15km.

The managers live on the property and are, therefore, on hand day and night to ensure that the guests are well cared for.

Our guests can have picnic tables down by the rivers edge, with braai facilities. Braai baskets are available on request for those guests who would like to braai close to their rooms. The setting is unique, on clear evenings the night skies of the Southern Hemisphere are spectacular as the reflection of the lights of Knysna do not affect us. Pick out the numerous constellations from the Milky Way, the Centaur, The Southern Cross, and Orion to name a few.

For dinner our guests can join us for our home cooked "meal of the day", a traditional braai or a sumptuous fish braai. Alternatively visit the restaurants in Knysna or Sedgefield. Transport is available for those who do not want to drive.
