Wide Open Spaces

Surrounded by popular destinations such as Langebaan, Port Owen and Paternoster, the lodge is perfectly placed for guests wanting to experience the region’s natural beauty, wildlife and river setting.

The Cape West Coast is famous for its wildflower season, with spring flowers usually at their best between August and September, making this one of the most scenic times of year to visit.

A game drive at Quagga River Lodge offers the chance to see quaggas, golden oryx, giraffe and springbok while taking in the open landscapes of the reserve.

Set on the banks of the Berg River, our modern solar-powered chalets offer a comfortable off-grid escape near Velddrif, with uninterrupted stays and no load-shedding.
