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.
