About Heron House at Tides River

Heron House at Tides River is situated on the banks of the Breede and just a short two and a half hour trip from Cape Town and half an hour from Swellendam, on the way to the Garden Route. Privately owned, this peaceful heaven is a birdwatcher's and fisherman's dream. Relax on the lawns, fish off the river bank, explore the river, waterski, canoe or visit the bush pub.

Accommodation

Heron House offers a spacious and relaxed setting, perfectly suited for group stays and comfortably accommodating up to six guests.

Inside, the house features three well-appointed bedrooms, each furnished with a queen-size bed, along with two bathrooms. The first bathroom includes a shower, while the second provides a shower-over-bath option.

Designed for easy living, the open-plan layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The kitchen is fully equipped with essentials such as a fridge-freezer, stove and oven, microwave, kettle, and toaster.

A large dining area includes an 8-seater table, creating a welcoming space for shared meals, and the cozy lounge area is fitted with plush seating, a fireplace, and a TV with selected DStv channels. Stepping outside, guests can enjoy a covered verandah with comfortable seating and an outdoor braai, perfect for leisurely afternoons or evenings spent in good company.
