Nestled at the foot of a majestic mountain, in the heart of a breathtaking nature reserve, and along the peaceful banks of the Umtamvuna River, lies a haven of pure leisure. Welcome to our enchanting lodge, where sub-tropical gardens flourish and the soothing melody of water cascading from the cliffs fills the air. Here, the resounding call of the majestic fish eagle whisk away the worries and stresses of everyday life, immersing you in a state of unhurried tranquility.



Indulge in the rustic charm of our lodge as you bask in the beauty of the pool terrace and cocktail bar, gracefully perched on stilts beside the flowing river. Offering accommodation in eight luxurious air-conditioned and heated en-suite double, twin, or single rooms, our lodge provides the utmost comfort and convenience. Each room is adorned with a flat-screen LCD TV, selected DStv channels, and a private balcony, inviting you to unwind while marveling at the breathtaking views of the river and surrounding mountains.



Uncover a paradise for both young and old within our pristine gardens and private river beach. Let your children's imaginations run wild as they explore this idyllic playground, while our playful Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, Bubba, frolics in delight. With an array of activities available, both within our lodge and the surrounding attractions, adventure knows no bounds.



Not only does Umtamvuna River Lodge offer an oasis of tranquility, but it is also South Africa's premier wakeboarding destination. Our waters play host to some of the most skilled pro wakeboarders from South Africa and Europe. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, you can experience the thrill of wakeboarding in warm tropical conditions throughout the year. Glide across the glassy flat water behind a Mastercraft X-star, receiving personal instruction from the renowned Kevin Dry and other top international pro wakeboarders. It's no wonder that this very location was chosen as the filming site for the South African section of Oakleys' renowned "Push Process." For boardriders seeking uncrowded surf spots and the exhilaration of wakeboarding on protected, flat, and warm water, this is truly heaven found.



Let the enchanting Umtamvuna leave an indelible mark on your soul, a tapestry of captivating memories that linger long after you bid farewell to this hidden oasis.
