Sudwala Lodge



Situated in a wooded valley below the famed Sudwala Caves, on the banks of the Houtbosloop River, Sudwala Lodge is your gateway to the magical panorama route. Venture to the nearby God's Window, Blyde River Canyon and Bourke's Luck Potholes to name a few. Sudwala is the perfect base from which to explore the spectacular surroundings.

Enjoy guided walks, mini golf, tennis and many activities that offer entertainment for the whole family. Savour the sunrise over the beautiful Mankelekele Mountain, take a dip in the pool or refresh and relax in the outdoor Jacuzzi. Whether you are looking to explore or relax, Sudwala Lodge has something to suit every mood and preference.

Grotto's Coffee Shop has been closed but Takeaways can still be ordered from Grotto's Treats or our Kiosk. Open Monday to Sunday 08h00 to 18h00 (Times subject to change per season and on public holidays).
Our Reception is now in the same building as Grotto's Treats or the Kiosk. This can be found close to the Main Entrance of the Lodge across from the Games Room.
