Gaïa Riverlodge

Gaïa Riverlodge is a peaceful eco-luxury retreat nestled in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, offering front-row views of the Five Sisters Waterfalls. Guests stay in thatched cabanas, villas, and suites designed to blend with the surrounding forest. The lodge runs mostly off-grid, powered by solar-hydro systems, and omits air conditioning so visitors can truly reconnect with nature.

Nature-centered moments are woven into every stay. A natural stone pool by the river invites dips beneath the falls while a rope tram (or a 250-step descent) leads down to a hidden swimming spot. Evenings bring bonfires and storytelling, and mornings begin with birdsong and guided hikes. The on-site restaurant sources dishes from the lodge’s organic garden, offering meals that mirror the surrounding beauty and local flavours.
