Description

Waschbank River Lodge is the most spectacular spot on the breath-taking banks of the Orange River. One is instantly captivated by the sweet angelic melody of the ever flowing waters. Waschbank is not only the perfect over-night spot for weary travelers, but is also ideal for a comforting holiday far away from any restless city.

The Bed and Breakfast rooms and unique Self-Catering units are well equipped and boast with a charming view of South Africa’s largest river. In addition, Waschbank’s Restaurant serves traditional, mouth-watering, Cooked meals or buffets – as if it were coming straight out of grandma’s kitchen.

On-site facilities include a braai area, pets by arrangement, conferencing facilities and secure parking. Guests can also enjoy some of the on-site activities which include fishing, bird watching, cycling and mountain biking.

Here families reunite by spending quality time together. Burdened hearts find hope and solitude. At Waschbank River Lodge you can take pleasure in the calming silence, striking stars and the royal river! We will simply treat you with the warmest Karoo kindness.
