THE BOARDWALK LODGE
Type : Bed and Breakfast and Self-catering Accommodation
Grading : Tourism Grading Council of South Africa - Four stars.
Location : Wilderness
Although the national road divides Wilderness it has done nothing to spoil its profound beauty, in fact if anything the separation of the eight kilometre long beach from the village fringing the lagoon produces a special charm and the road provides accessibility to view sites to take in the scenic delights. At Wilderness the Touws River forms a lagoon from where boats can be taken upstream for sixteen kilometres leading to the lakes and Ebb and Flow Nature Reserve, a sanctuary of woodland streams, waterfalls and prolific bird life.
Description : Hugging the Outeniqua mountainside amid a beautiful stretch of indigenous forest, and located at the heart of the world-famous Garden Route, the Boardwalk Lodge is a distinctive self-catering and bed & breakfast leisure resort. Picture-perfect views and natural forest vegetation provide the setting for the ultimate in privacy and intimacy, and immerse the senses in tropical sights, sounds and aromas.
The Boardwalk Lodge heralds a pioneering concept in luxury resort leisure, featuring contemporary Knysna timber architecture, characterised by spaciousness, warmth and understated luxury.
Located within the Wilderness National Park Conservancy, and a short stroll from the beach, lake and village, the Boardwalk design and exclusive features and facilities respond to the unsurpassed location and climate to provide the ultimate Wilderness experience.
