The Mallard River Lodge is a small,
exclusive Country House, embracing the southern Bank of the Bitou
River, with spectacular views from each of the free-standing,
luxury chalets. Conveniently situated in the most spectacular
region of the Garden Route, the Mallard
River Lodge is close to the town of Plettenberg Bay which
is a mere 4 km away with its world renowned beaches, shops and
restaurants.
The ideal situation of the Mallard River
Lodge provides it with a unique outlook over the Bitou
Valley and Wetland with the winding Bitou River running through
it. There is abundant wild bird life with flocks of geese and
ducks, water birds of all sizes and descriptions, riverine bush
that attracts many species of birds, and the brightly coloured sun
birds that come in large numbers to feast on the nectar from
flowers in the garden.
Accommodation All of the rooms at
the Mallard River Lodge have hand
painted murals above the beds depicting the different aspects of
bird life on the river. Each room has a sitting area complete with
a fireplace, mini bar and tea/coffee making facilities. A private
deck is standard on each unit from which magnificent views can be
enjoyed.
All the bathrooms have the same luxurious layout. The bath is
situated under a large window that looks out over the valley.
Guests can birdwatch from the bath as well as from the shower.
Underfloor heating and heated towel rails ensure the guests
comfort all year round.
Dining Breakfasts are served in the
sunny dining room or out on the deck. Each morning, during
breakfast, guests are advised of places to visit, where to eat and
shop and any other information they might need to know. Dinners
can be served on request at the Mallard
River Lodge.
