About

“Through travelling, I have made the most amazing memories that will last a lifetime. I love creating moments for others to make those same lifetime memories through travel.” Maryke De Villiers, Owner

Mosaic Lagoon Lodge offers the ultimate luxury in high-end stays in the Overberg.

Meals at Mosaic

Stroll along a boardwalk that winds its way under a canopy of ancient Milkwood trees to a lounge where drinks and meals are served, next to a cosy fireplace. An open-air boma is perfect for romantic evenings counting lucky stars in the magnificent constellation above you.

The cuisine at Mosaic Lagoon Lodge is exquisite, courtesy of the creative mastery of the lodge's professional chef.

Breakfast in the country consists of hearty fare with freshly-baked muffins, homemade jams, fresh fruit and all the hot morning favourites such as tasty bacon and eggs.  

Light lunches are served daily, platter-style, with a different menu each day. 

Sumptuous dinners are planned around organic vegetables harvested from the lodge’s garden, and locally-sourced seasonal ingredients. 

Celebrating the wines of the region, Mosaic Lagoon Lodges house wine is RAKA. 

Relax & Revive

A heated plunge pool overlooks the Klein River Mountains and is a favourite place to do some relaxed birdwatching.  

As evening falls, you will see the exquisite colours of the African sun setting and as day fades to night, the glorious expanse of the star-filled South African sky creates a magical backdrop to your perfect holiday.

History

History

In 2002 Breese and Kathryn Johnson from Tennessee, USA, bought Mosaic Lagoon Lodge’s 1,000-hectare property. 

Although botanically and aesthetically unique, the property was being overrun by ecologically destructive invasive vegetation. Right from the start, Breese and Kathryn’s vision was to restore the biodiversity of the fragile ecosystem. Sharing the magnificent setting with appreciative guests came next, and so, Mosaic Lagoon Lodge was born.

In 2019 Breese and Kathryn transferred ownership of the five-star private getaway to long-time associate, Maryke De Villiers. 

Maryke is proud to continue with the couple's vision of providing an exceptional retreat and ecological experience for guests.

“Everything about Mosaic Lagoon Lodge was exquisite! Welcoming gracious staff, breathtaking views, and impeccable attention to detail in the well-appointed rooms and facilities. Delicious food and drinks are always ready. There are plenty of great activities such as quad biking, kayaking, and beach combing. We could not have received better, more personal care from our guides who taught us so much during our nature walk and other adventures. Bravo!”  Christine Davis
“Mosaic Lagoon Lodge is an absolutely stunning venue. It is in a fantastic location! The staff are all lovely and made us feel at home. We spent two nights at Mosaic and it is one of the best lodges we have ever stayed at! The attention to detail is incredible. The food was simply delicious and oh my, the view is just breathtaking. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so wonderful. 5 stars!”  Valentina Murabito
“Mosiac Lagoon Lodge is a rare find. This boutique lodge has the service levels normally only experienced in high-end safari lodges. The team has a warmth and lack of stuffiness that made us feel relaxed and at home. The views over the lagoon are exceptional, and a treat for bird watchers. So many activities to choose from, including educational guided walks and drives in the open 4x4 to the beach. The food was tasty and beautifully presented.”  Michelle CPT
“An absolutely lovely weekend away. I love that there are only five suites ensuring an intimate stay. There are no TVs, yes! The staff are superb, and the chef spoiled us with lovely meals. Our guide was excellent. I will definitely go back without a doubt.”  Ronel Bredenkamp
“The accommodation at Mosaic Lagoon Lodge really is a dream. If you are a bird lover you get your money's worth. In total, there are no more than ten guests on-site, which means very special service all-around.”  Ralfleis
“We stumbled on Mosaic Lagoon Lodge a few years ago and it’s the one place in the world we keep returning to. Five luxurious huts overlooking a lagoon. Very private and amazingly peaceful sitting on the deck watching all the birds. If you fancy excitement, quad biking is great fun as is the jeep ride to the beach. The staff are wonderful and can’t do enough for you. We will be back!”  Rubyvirkenhead
“The Mosaic Lagoon Lodge is a wonderful retreat away from the noise and rush of the 21st century. Its situation, in a milkwood forest on the edge of the Hermanus lagoon, is super-secluded, with wonderful views of the Overberg Mountains opposite and the abundant birdlife on the lagoon itself. The staff are incredibly welcoming, the rooms spotless,  the food excellent, and the opportunities to explore the 1,000-hectare reservation (and Walker Bay’s beach, beyond it) on foot, MTB, quad bike and jeep are outstanding.”  Z73322
