Sedgefield Garden Route - South Africa

Email Lake Views Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com

Lake Views offers two charming self catering cottages in The Garden Route National Park, perched high at the top and end of the northern hill above Swartvlei Lake, South Africa’s largest natural inland salt water lake. This most wonderful magical setting offers peace, tranquillity and privacy enabling an idyllic getaway and soul rejuvenating breaks from the everyday stresses of life. Every room of the cottages face the awesome views and benefit from direct access to the spacious balconies / decking. Each cottage enjoys unspoilt and breathtaking views of the Wilderness Lakes District and Indian Ocean, mountains, river, lagoon, forests, fynbos and ancient sand dunes accompanied by the most awe-inspiring sunsets. Hear the distinctive sound of the Fish Eagle cry as you watch them soar!
