Escape to the enchanting Mudlark River Front Lodge, where beauty, peace, and comfort await. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking wonders of this serene oasis, surrounded by majestic whales, vibrant fish, fragrant fynbos, and captivating bird life. Just a short 3-hour journey from Cape Town, the Mudlark Lodge offers a rejuvenating getaway unlike any other.
Nestled on a sprawling 22-hectare property, which is part of the esteemed Lower Breede River conservancy, the lodge is perfectly situated on the river bank, a mere 2 kilometers from the charming villages of Witsand and Infanta. As you step foot onto this haven, you'll be greeted by unparalleled seclusion and unspoiled vistas. The lodge boasts magnificent views up and down the Estuary, with not a single habitation in sight. Surrounded by fynbos on three sides and embraced by the gentle flow of the river, the Mudlark faces north, offering protection from the ever-present sea breezes.
To enhance your experience, the lodge provides moorings and a private jetty, along with the exclusive "Boat house" right at the water's edge. Your friendly hosts, Hilary and Tim, own and manage the Mudlark, ensuring that your stay is nothing short of relaxing and memorable. The lodge comprises a central timber lodge that houses the entertainment and dining areas. Here, you'll find a cozy fireplace for chilly winter evenings, as well as DSTV for your entertainment. The communal dining area overlooks the river, treating you to a breakfast with a view. Additionally, a serene lounge with river views and a congenial bar exclusively for guests awaits, creating the perfect atmosphere to forge new friendships.
For those seeking ultimate relaxation, venture outside onto the spacious covered leisure deck, featuring exceptional panoramic views. Bask in the sun's warm embrace or indulge in sundowners while witnessing the fiery sun kiss the Potberg mountains. With a maximum capacity of just 10 guests, the Mudlark promises an intimate escape from the crowds. The five comfortable double rooms, also constructed from timber, are thoughtfully positioned on both sides of the main lodge, each boasting magnificent river views. These elegantly appointed rooms offer single or double beds and come with en-suite facilities. Every room is exquisitely decorated with delicate furnishings, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity reminiscent of home.
At the Mudlark, you can expect unparalleled hospitality and personalized service, ensuring an experience that surpasses all expectations. Rates are per person sharing and include a sumptuous full English breakfast and a delectable three-course dinner. Embrace tranquility and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Mudlark River Front Lodge – an idyllic haven for the soul.

We loved discovering Infanta and Malgas and Hilary, our hostess was so helpful with local information and suggestions of where to go. The food at Mudlark was excellent too. I would recommend staying there to anyone interested in visiting Infanta.

Hilary, Rodney and the team have a gem here, beautiful location, clean, and the food to outdo any fine dining establishment in the UK. Was great to dine with fellow residents , share some wine after dinner on the stoop in such friendly company. Wish we’d booked longer, thanks Hilary lovely lady

We really enjoyed the accommodation, setting, and scrumptious meals. The food was of a very high standard and generous portion.We would have preferred to have coffee and tea making facilities in our room rather than common dining area, particularly for the early morning cuppa.
