Great place to escape

The property is off the beaten track and Malgas is only accessible via a gravel road but if you want somewhere to escape and enjoy lovely views this is the place to go. The Boathouse is very well equipped with a spacious shower, all required kitchen utensils and surprisingly good wifi despite the remote location. If you are tall the sloping roof may be a challenge. The view of the river is wonderful and there are free kayaks available. De Hoop is around 30km away via gravel roads and you can take the quaint Malgas ferry which is pulled across the river by hand and visit Witsand. This is a great place to escape and chill, just remember to visit the supermarket first, it’s a long way to go to get supplies!

Zeer afgelegen; gps van de auto vindt het adres niet. Bovendien wisten we niet dat we over een speciaal ponton de breede rivier over moesten : sluit om 18 uur! Ze geven ook geen breakfast : het is nochtans een B & B. Fantastische lokatie aan het water en kayaks ter beschikking!

The only problem was a strong smell in the room, may be a chemical product or fresh paint, but the acomodation is beatiful.

Prachtige lodge aan de rivier

Wij sliepen in het boothuis. Vanwege het rieten dak hing er een typische geur waarvan ons verteld werd dat niet-Zuid Afrikanen die meestal te sterk vonden. Wij vonden het geen probleem, maar mocht dat wel het geval zijn werd ons een andere optie aangeboden. Het is een lange gravelweg van 40km naar de lodge, maar deze weg was goed te doen, enkel de laatste kilometer was goed oppassen, maar onze gehuurde renault clio heeft het er nog goed vanaf gebracht. We verbleven hier omdat het dichtbij de Hoop Natuurreservaat was, maar de omgeving zo bij de rivier is prachtig. De sterrenhemel is ongekend en je bent ver weg van alle steden. Gelukkig zit er wel een winkel dichtbij (Malgas trading post) waar de meest algemene dingen wel te vinden zijn. En ondanks dat we vergeten waren om te tanken voor de van de snelweg afkwamen zijn we niet in problemen geraakt doordat we een klein tankstation konden vinden op weg naar de Hoop. De kamer was ontzettend netjes en de keuken was door allerlei apparatuur voorzien: kookplaat, oven, magnetron, toaster, waterkoker, etc, het was allemaal aanwezig. Al het water in het huis was rivierwater, dus drinken uit de kraan kan niet, maar er stond netjes een 5 literfles met schoon drinkwater op het aanrecht. In de wc gaf het wel een beetje een vreemd effect om altijd donkerder gekleurd water te zien staan, maar het wende snel. Al met al hebben we twee heerlijke nachten gehad in Tides river lodge; the boathouse.
