The room was very clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable, and the room had a lovely balcony. I had supper there one evening at Pomodoro's and it was excellent food.

There is nothing negative to say about our stay in Wilderness, other than I wish it could have been for longer! Our accomadation at Tranquil Shores, was simply perfect. Our host was so gracious and generous with advise for local activities and attractions. The room we stayed in was lovely and very tastefully decorated.
Honestly this was such a lovely place to spend some time in.

The beaches and views from the top of Hoekwil or Map of Africa are too beautiful. The nature walks and general magical feeling of the place makes it an ideal holiday destination. It is close to the large town of George and Knysna with markets available on Saturdays,
You would need a car to get around Wilderness.

One of the most stunning (and our favourite) beaches in the World.
Plenty of good restaurants - great value.
Loved the view from para gliding site but Map of Africa did not meet expectations.
Very restful / having had busy 3 weeks beforehand.
Restaurants - Las salinas; girls 👧 n the square; joplins steak house; pommodoro - all excellent and good value. Las S was our favourite; walking distance; good food and excellent service.

We stayed three nights in Wilderness and that was probably the perfect length of stay. It's a small town, but a very beautiful location. The long beach is nice, if you like that sort of thing.However, exploring the lagoon on an 'eco-cruise' is a 'must' and probably the most enjoyable adventure on our three-week stay in South Africa. Wilderness is also blessed with some good restaurants, 'The Girls On The Square' deserves an accolade, but 'Serendipity' is in a league of its own - one of the best restaurants I've visited anywhere in the world.

This is an amazingly clean and beautiful property.
This is an amazingly clean and beautiful property. It has a lovely pool with sunbeds and seating area to rear of property and the front of the property overlooks the most stunning beach. Little extras in the room make it absolutely fabulous. The hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly as is the family dog Duke. Would highly recommend.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Loft for 2 nights during our 2 week holiday in South Africa and I wish we could have stayed for longer! This is one of the most stunning places we have ever stayed in, the views are absolutely breathtaking of Wilderness beach. The apartment itself is perfectly situated in the hills and is fully set up for everything you need. It’s clean, tidy and comfortable. The check in process with Koos was incredibly quick and easy. We can highly recommend the loft, I hope we can return again in the future!
This is an awesome property. The location is breathtaking and it’s very convenient to explore the nearby region in the garden route , Oudtshoorn and Cango Caves. The host Ms. Hoffman is an artist and her paintings are showcased throughout the property. It has a boutique studio vibe. Hoffmans are a warm couple who welcomes the guests personally and provides the introductory tour to the property. Right on the beach, it’s a great place to relax and explore.
Lovely location..In walking distance of lagoon, beach, supermarket, market and restaurants.
Breakfasts were delicious and great value.
Helpful and friendly staff.
We infmd staff about noisy children running through the hallways and banging doors until late at night and the manager on duty did not hesitate to move us to a much quieter part of the hotel immediately. We appreciated this very very much.
We liked everything but most of all the location right on the beach (definitely one of the best in Wilderness) and the fantastic staff. Tim is absolutely charming and all his team incredibly friendly and efficient. We were there for a week and were sad to leave. But we hope to be back on our next visit to South Africa.
Perfect in every way. Clean, comfortable, thoughtfully designed personal spaces. USB plugs by the bed, lovely deck to lounge and safe and secure. The wet room cane complete with lotions and shampoo and Carmina goes the extra mile to make her guests feel welcomed and at home. The perfect place to stay in Wilderness.
Really comfy and cozy room, very well kept and clean. Central location in Wilderness made everything accessible by foot and Pomodorro restaurant food the best in town! Claudio, Ricardo and Magda super friendly and helpful and with breakfast included makes this accommodation the best bang for your buck!
On the beach, kitchen is good, showers and bathroom good, wifi works well in dorm room. Dorm room is amazing- open view of ocean. Super chill and welcoming vibe . Love it 😍. I returned there 2x so it’s definitely the best place in Wilderness to stay!
Nice room with view on river. Good meals. The hotel and facilities have been upgraded and the garden is beautiful. The location is spectacular with a nice river for swimming and rowing and a pleasant hike to the waterfall just around the corner.
The place is just amazing! It’s right on the beach and the views are spectacular! Rita did everything so we feel like home! She is also such a perfectionist and makes everything look spotless! Definitely number one place in Wilderness!
A great hotel for our one night stay in Wilderness. Lovely and spacious room overlooking the beach. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Lovely to have breakfast in our room without an additional cost.
Superbly friendly and welcoming hosts and staff in a beautiful small hotel fronting straight onto Wilderness beach. Great room and bathroom, excellent breakfast. Stunning views.
The view, the welcome, the breakfast, the bed. Very relaxing to hear the waves just outside the door. Would have stayed longer but we were travelling through the garden route.
Love the Wilderness Hotel , its central and an easy walk to the beach, friendly staff, accommodation comfortable and clean . Breakfast was good a nice way to start the day
Every single thing was Phenomenal. The client never forget a hotel who was happy and comfort while staying. All employees was helpful & kind-full. Highly recommend 10/10
Chimzy Diney was excellent. He was very friendly, helpful and professional. He is a true asset to the hotel and made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.
