Moontide Guest Lodge: A Romantic Retreat in Wilderness, South Africa

Set amidst 400-year-old milkwood trees and a profusion of birds and plants, Moontide is the most romantic of retreats. Located within the sprawling and beautiful Wilderness National Park, the small residential village is the ideal location from which to explore the gems of the Garden Route and Klein Karoo.

A Birdwatcher's Paradise on the Lagoon

Located on the shores of the Wilderness lagoon, with gardens that flow into its tidal waters, the lodge is a birdwatcher's paradise. Take your sundowner to the flowing deck and enjoy the tranquility of the lagoon. A separate lounge (with TV) and dining room is available for guests, as well as decks and patios with tables and deck chairs, on the water's edge overlooking the lagoon with its rich bird life.

Explore the Garden Route and Klein Karoo

Spend the day exploring the forests and waterfalls of Wilderness National park, or sightseeing the quaint towns of Knysna or Oudtshoorn, but make sure you set aside enough time to unwind in your Moontide hideaway. Not only is this little village by far the most tranquil of the Garden Route options, but you are within easy striking distance of all the areas: the plethora of sights you'll find at bustling Knysna lie within a 25-minute radius; Plettenberg Bay, playground of the rich and famous, a further 20 minutes, while Oudtshoorn and the jaw-dropping Swartberg Pass lies 60 minutes away.
