    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.

    The lagoon and beach are easily accessible by foot.

    The lagoon and beach are easily accessible by foot. The is a good variety of reasonably priced restaurants providing good quality meals. Did appreciate knowing that there is a medical facility in town. Amazing opportunity for paragliding. Close to a number of beautiful championship quality golf courses. Enjoy exploring surrounding beaches and hiking.

    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.

    What an amazing relaxing stay in the Wilderness right on the lagoon for swimming, canoeing, bird watching and close to the beach, hikes, restaurants, all adventure activities and the well equipped little Spar. We loved our excellent, comfortable and super clean accommodation in our well equipped self catering suite. The best was the very friendly and helpful hosts, Nadia and Gert who couldn't do enough to help us with anything we needed, even an early check in.

    We stayed for one night in the two bedroom and wish we could have stayed longer. Jemma was so helpful and wonderful. The view is incredible and the beach out front is fairly quiet since there aren’t many places next door. Easy walk into town for dinner. Breakfast at the hotel was delicious! Highly recommend Sea Paradise and a visit to Wilderness in general.

    The view from our balcony was amazing. Words cannot describe it. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, recommending some restaurants etc. The breakfast was also delicious. We already booked to go back there in May 2023. We have stayed at a few other places in the Wilderness previously, but this guesthouse is most definitely the best.

    This home on the beach is splendid! My wife and I booked a weekend there, and loved the cozy atmosphere, and natural wonder just outside our door. If you're looking for a place to enjoy the beach with your family, this is it. Everything you may need was provided in the home, and our host Nora was the most lovely, interesting person.

    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.

    The room was absolutely huge and very comfortable to stay in. The birds outside get fed a little so that you can do a little bird watching during breakfast which is lovely. The breakfast was fantastic, probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had.

    This was by far our most beautiful accommodation on the garden route! We loved the view of the ocean and the patio for having drinks and food. Wilderness was a beautiful town and we are so glad we spent our time with Boardwalk Lodge!
