Lakeside Lodge and Spa luxury hotel on the banks of the Swartvlei Lagoon offers cocooning of the highest order with 9 luxurious bedroom suites, a fine restaurant and spa, and friendly staff.
And then there is the natural beauty of this area. Lakeside Lodge is situated in the Wilderness National Park. At the bottom of our garden is the Swartvlei Lagoon, a wetland of international importance frequented by buck and a rich and varied bird population. Welcome in our little corner of Paradise.
Benguela Brasserie & Restaurant offers a variety of wine tasting experiences each expertly paired with award-winning wines from Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate. As a leading producer and wine destination the quality of their wines are of the highest standard. Their vineyards benefit from the unique conditions of the estate’s location at the ocean’s edge, on the southern coast of South Africa.
Our 9 bedroom suites are luxuriously appointed and have views of the Swartvlei Lagoon with its small game and rich bird life. Fresh flowers are put in all the rooms daily, as are gifts from the chef.

Lakeside Lodge has a five star rating, the highest award by the TGCSA (Tourism Grading Council of South Africa). The TGCSA star grading is an independent quality assessment and official ranking system recognised around the world for the standard of service and facilities that hotel guests can expect.
Life on the Swartvlei Lagoon
Swartvlei Lagoon stretches over 10.73 kilometers. It is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging between 19°C in July and 27.4°C in February. The lodge offers complimentary kayaks and canoes and the skipper of our Lady Giselle Pontoon Boat takes guests out on the lagoon to fish.
Small buck, dassies and bush pigs abound and birdwatchers can look forward to seeing sun birds, herons, the African Fish Eagle and Pied Kingfishers.
Guests can take to the lagoon on kite surf, sail, wake board en waterski or explore the region on the hotel’s mountain bikes.
Sedgefield & The Garden Route
The picturesque town of Sedgefield is 8 kilometres from Lakeside Lodge. It is Africa’s first official Slow Town and when you go there you will understand why. The town prides itself on its gentle pace of life. Sedgies call it the ‘tortoise pace’ and say it’s good for one’s blood pressure. Sedgefield has art galleries, coffee shops and a wonderful Saturday farmers’ market.
Beautiful towns abound in this part of the country. There’s Great Brak, Little Brak, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay, Buffels Bay and Knysna, to name just a few. Knysna was founded by George Rex, who was said to be a love child of King George 111. It is home to the annual Knysna Oyster Festival.

Explore the surroundings
Monkeyland Sanctuary is home to 500+ primates. These can be divided into 18 different groups. 11 of these groups move about freely in the forest, while the remaining 7 groups are housed in large cages. If you have a head for heights you’ll delight in the 128 metre suspended canopy walk.
This breathtaking 18-hole golf course sprawls over Knysna’s heights. Designed by David Dale and Ronald Fream of GolfPlan USA, it rates amongst the best and the most scenic golf courses in the world. Compleat Golfer has rated Pezula Championship Course a Five Star Golf Experience.
The ranch has been described as an escape from reality. Visitors can choose to pet a tiger cub, sign up for an encounter with a cheetah or a shy lemur. Brave hearts can dive with the resident Nile crocodiles or visit the snake park that houses the fearsome King Cobra as well as a python.
The surreal beauty of these caves have to be seen. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well-known Swartberg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with vast halls and towering formations. Only a limited number of visitors are allowed into the caves in order to preserve them.
Adrenalin junkies savour the experience of the world’s highest bungee jump. The bridge over the Bloukransriver in the Tsitsikamma region is 216 metres high and it takes bungee jumpers a mere 7 seconds to reach terra ferma.
Halfway between Jeffreys Bay and Plettenberg Bay lies a unique wolf sanctuary. Visitors can participate in feeding the wolves. A wild but educating experience that is also safe, as the wolves are enclosed.
At Knysna Elephant park visitors can savour the experience of walking alongside these gentle giants or enjoy a ride on an elephant.
The Birds of Eden Sanctuary is a free flight sanctuary spanning over two hectares. It is home to 3500 birds that fly about freely under what is said to be the largest dome.
Mossel Bay is said to be one of the best whale and dolphin watching destinations on the Southern Cape Coast. Watch out for the Southern Right Whale, the Killer Whale and Bottlenose Dolphin.
The museum is home to 13 steam locomotives. Look out for the Royal Train of 1947 as well as President Paul Kruger’s coach and private saloons. Vintage car afficionadoes will be pleased by the antique beauties on show.
Marvel at the big cats. Jukani is home to lions (including some rare white lions), cheetahs, tigers, leopards, jaguars, pumas, caracal and serval cats. Also present are zebra, wild dog, springbuck, and the exotically named Zorilla.
“A mouthful of adrenalin” is what one wit has called this adrenalin-fuelled experience.The experience is to be had in Mossel Bay’s azure waters. Non-divers can make use of the topside viewing option, while divers will be able to get up close with “Jaws.”

Lakeside Lodge and Spa Reviews
“We visited lakeside lodge, from the UK, and stayed in the honeymoon suite! Well…. This is truly a 5 Star hotel. Fantastic restaurant, spa and grounds with peaceful and tranquil surroundings. We even took In some waterskiing on the lake! Fantastic sun lounging on the lawns overlooking the lake and excellent drinks and snacks service without having to move!”-PhilHavercroft
“On our way from Cape town to Port Elizabeth, we had planned one stop and we found Lakeside Lodge by luck. We changed all our plans and enjoy the Lodge and its very relaxful surroundings for 2 nights instead. Dinner was amazing and sunrise from the Jetty very zen…thanks a lot for The experience”-Geoffrey G
“Allowed an early check in. Excellent reception which led to all other aspects of our stay being first class, from the comfort, cleanliness and layout of our room to excellent bathroom facilities. Having just returned from 3 months in England, it’s wonderful to be back to the delights of South African standards and hospitality.”-PhilKnysna
