We (Maggie & Les) took over the lodge in January 2006 and are ecstatic to have found this little jewel on the golden banks of the Sundays River.

With a dream come true, Les also committed himself to establish a ferry cruiser on the river and on the 14th April 2007 THE SUNDAYS RIVER FERRY was launched. Come and enjoy a leisurely cruise both up or down stream to the river mouth. Enjoy the spectacular views, river, sea and dunes
