Rooms

Treetops:

Queen-size bed
The luxurious bathroom offers green reflections of the indigenous bush that surrounds you
Bathtub
An outdoor, private, refreshing shower

Description: The entrance to this timber treehouse is via a staircase that winds through the forest. It is built on stilts, with sliding doors opening onto a private terrace with wonderful elevated views of the lagoon and verdant hillsides of Wilderness from your queen-size bed.

Moonriver Suites:

Mezzanine bedroom
Large Zen-style bathroom – bathtub & separate shower

Description: A spacious double-volume thatched suite, with a mezzanine bedroom under attractive thatch. This is ideal for those traveling with a young child or children – but note that the steep staircase is not suitable for toddlers or very young children unfamiliar with stairs. The bathroom has a lovely light-filled atmosphere. This suite is part of the main house but has a private entrance and direct access to the lodge plunge pool.

Milkwood Cottage:

Potentially Sleeps: 5
Main bedroom – king-size bed
Upstairs bedroom – double bed
Large bathroom – bath and separate shower
Private seating alcove outside

Description: This richly decorated double-level thatched cottage can potentially sleep five, with the main bedroom (king-size bed) that looks out onto your private alcove. And an upstairs bedroom, right under the thatch – note that the upstairs double bed is low to fit under the thatch eaves, so not suitable for the elderly travelers. It has a large bathroom (bath and separate shower) and a private seating alcove outside, shaded by a 400-year-old milkwood tree.

Stone Cottage:

Two bedrooms
Main bedroom:
- French doors
- Comfortable seating
- Water feature
Second bedroom:
- Twin beds
- Entrance off the patio
- Shared bathroom

Description: A two-bedroom century-old stone and thatch dwelling, furnished with antiques and Egyptian-themed artworks. The main bedroom has French doors that open onto the large private courtyard, with comfortable seating and water feature under one of the large 400-year-old milkwoods. The second bedroom has twin beds and its own entrance off the patio as well as off the shared bathroom; a large picture window overlooks a succulent and aloe garden. The shared bathroom is also under thatch and comprises an of double basins, a shower, and a magnificent Victorian slipper tub.

Boathouse:

Double bed
Bathroom: Open shower and Victorian-style bathtub
Woodburning fireplace

Description: The Boathouse is a simple semi-permanent structure, located right on the river bank. It is furnished with a double bed and a lovely bathroom with an open shower and Victorian-style bathtub. The lounge area overlooks the lagoon – yet the view is perfectly private, and it is also the only room at Moontide with a woodburning fireplace – for that added touch of romance. The Boathouse provides a real sense of being part of the tidal moods of the lagoon, with uninterrupted views of the twinkling waters and the aquatic creatures that frequent our little bay – kingfishers, herons, yellow-billed ducks and, for the really lucky, the occasional otter!

Moondance:

Bathroom: Corner tub and high-pressure shower
Bedroom option: Sofa in the bedroom/lounge can become a third bed
River views

Description: A gorgeous thatch canopy covers the bedroom/lounge, with a dressing anteroom linking the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom features both a corner tub and a high-pressure shower, and the sofa in the bedroom/lounge can become a third bed for those traveling with a young child. While the outside seating area is the least private of all the rooms, it offers spectacular river views and is shaded by a magnificent milkwood.

Moonshadow 1:

Bathroom: Large bathroom with bath and separate shower

Description: This is one of the smaller rooms, but it has a gorgeous ornate Indian headboard as a charming centerpiece. The large bathroom with a bath and the separate shower has indigenous yellow-wood detailing and French double doors open from the lounge onto a semi-private patio with a seating area. Enjoy your sundowner here or head down to one of the decks on the lagoon. Your parking bay is also conveniently located only a few steps away.

Moonshadow 2:

Bathroom: Slipper bathtub and separate open-plan shower
River views

Description: This is a huge suite with a separate walk-in cupboard; ideal for those traveling with a lot of luggage or staying for more than a few nights.
