Lekkerwater Beach Lodge

About Lekkerwater Beach Lodge

Steeped in rich history, Lekkerwater Beach Lodge in the Overberg region of the Western Cape is suited to the traveller who enjoys life’s simple luxuries - time spent together, embracing the natural beauty of their surroundings, and immersing themselves in true tranquillity. The lodge focuses on a new type of luxury; disconnecting from the everyday. With just seven available suites, Lekkerwater Beach Lodge provides guests with an intimate experience shared among travellers from all over the world. Every corner of the lodge, including each suite’s private deck, provides the perfect place to marvel at the ocean and embrace the spectacular views of the untouched wild shoreline and crashing waves. Between July and November, whales can be seen breaching and lob tailing as if putting on a show, while playful dolphins, seals, and an array of sea birds can be seen year-round – all best seen from the private sea-facing hot tub (just book your slot at the main lodge at enjoy!) The lodge is unique in its ability to create togetherness with its guests - arriving on the same day (either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday) allows the group to go through the Lekkerwater experience together, providing the feeling of enjoying a home away from home. Meals are served in the gorgeous main area, creating a community spirit whilst interacting with the chefs in the open kitchen. The passionate, warm staff are the cherry on top and truly add to the magnificent experience.

Lekkerwater Beach Lodge Setting

Journey to an exquisite, exclusive concession in De Hoop Nature Reserve in the Western Cape, South Africa, to experience the magic of Lekkerwater Beach Lodge. Known as the birthplace of all humankind, the reserve is steeped in ancient heritage and an abundance of spectacular natural beauty. Its coastal position provides a unique combination of ecosystems - from flora and vlei to dunes and the ocean. Located just four hours from Cape Town, it’s the ideal first stop along the Garden Route, or as an escape from the city for those looking to connect with nature, and other like-minded guests. As part of the lauded Cape Floral Kingdom, there are countless species of flora throughout the reserve. While fantastic for botany enthusiasts, it also creates the perfect conditions for bird-watching with around 260 species recorded in De Hoop Nature Reserve. Passionate and extremely knowledgeable guides lead the two immersive activities, including a tidal rockpool walk and gorge walk – both designed to promote the unique magic of the two adjacent ecosystems. If the weather permits, an evening G&T station at sunset and lunch on the beach are a truly special experience.
