The rooms at the Malagas Hotel

The Malagas hotel offers four different accommodation options that are suited for anybody – from couples getting away or families on holiday. 

The “small room” sleeps two and has either two single beds or a queen-sized bed.

The “double room” contains a king-sized bed and sleeps two. They either have a patio (if booked on the ground floor) or an outside deck (if booked on the 1st floor).

The “triple room” also has a king-sized bed, but it sleeps up to four people thanks to the extra single bed and children’s daybed in the room.

The “family room” sleeps five people and has a king-sized bed along with two double beds and a daybed for children.

All rooms come with a tea and coffee station, bar fridge, hairdryer, TV and a safe to store valuables. As this is not self-catering, the rooms have no kitchen.

Activities at the Malagas Hotel

Staying at the Malagas hotel also gives patrons access to various sports and watersports. These include volleyball, croquette and a swimming pool.

There are two-seater canoes and paddle boats, a motorboat and chartered boat trips. 

A kiddie’s lounge will keep the little ones occupied. The pub, equipped with a pool table and dartboard, stocks vintage wines.

What’s on the Malagas Hotel restaurant menu?

The in-house restaurant at the Malagas Hotel offers a breakfast menu, an á la carte lunch menu and a five-course dinner. The lunch menu often consists of burgers, schnitzels, steaks, toasted sandwiches, fried hake, and calamari among other staples.

The five-course dinner menu follows a traditional hotel fine dining structure with a soup, starter, traditional, mains served with veg and starch, and dessert followed by tea or coffee.

There is also a pub on the grounds that serves a pub menu consisting of various snack baskets, quesadillas, and a Dagwood among other staples.

These menus are subject to change based on seasonal availability, and it is best to contact the hotel to confirm.

The breakfast and dinner menu forms part of the dinner, bed, and breakfast specials. Alternatively, an all-inclusive dinner bed and breakfast package can be booked by contacting the hotel.

Hire a boathouse and chase the fish

Boats are available from Breede River Houseboat Hire. The boats can be taken up to 30km towards the river mouth and 15km upstream to various fishing hot spots. A quick practical exam can be done before hiring a boat and a temporary license will be issued. A skipper license is therefore not required. 

Hiking, whale watching and more outside the Malagas Hotel

Just 30 minutes from the Malagas hotel is the De Hoop Nature Reserve. The reserve offers hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching and whale watching. There is also a marine reserve inside De Hoop, which stretches 5km into the ocean which is the largest of its kind in Africa

This marine reserve is a breeding ground for the southern right whale. Patrons may also spot bontebok, red mongoose and the Cape mountain zebra. Besides animal and whale sightings, there are also rock pools for swimming or snorkeling.
