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.
