The Pink Lodge on The Beach, hotel in Wilderness

Located in Wilderness, overlooking Wilderness Beach, The Pink Lodge on The Beach offers elegantly decorated rooms with balconies and free WiFi.

We arrived on a cold and rainy afternoon. Elsa welcomed us in the most warm and friendly manner, we felt at home immediately. Small items such as an extra blanket and a heater were readily available. The views were lovely from the rooms and dining room and the beach within walking distance from our room. Elsa's knowledge about the eateries and tourist attractions added to our memorable stay. Will visit again.

    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.

    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.

    The chalet is located on a property bordering Rondevlei and Langevlei, two lakes of major importance from a naturalist point of view (RAMSAR areas). For birdwatchers (like me), this is a place of great interest. In addition, Tim (the owner) is also a birdwatcher and was very helpful, offering to guide me to find the difficult endemic birds (Victorin's warbler). We had a great time in this beautiful area of the garden route. Self catering mandatory. The chalet is very well equipped for cooking.

    James's place is situated perfectly on the beach, with stunning views along the coast of Wilderness where you can spot dolphins frolicking. The hotel is one of the most considered places we've ever stayed, every little touch or requirement you can think of has already been catered to; the complimentary room fridge, fabulous breakfast and rather saucy in-room shower being a few of our favourites! Would absolutely recommend booking Dune Villa & plan to return in the coming years.

    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.

    A lovely hostel, the best views on the beach from the bigger dorm (enjoy the sunrise from your bed!), very friendly and helpful staff and great facilities. I felt at home and would have looked to stay longer! I was lucky to arrive on a Thursday, which is the open mic night at the hostel with locals and other travellers from Wilderness and the surrounding villages coming to listen to great music.

    The Alice in Wilderness style rabbit 🐇 room with chandeliers and an infinity mirror room that makes you want to examine from deep within a good bottle of South 🇿🇦 African 🍷 wine. The close walks to the beach. The great restaraunts. (Minus girlrs on the square. They were terrible) What a lively stay. Nothing was for want, and the host was superb.

    Being encapsulated in nature but also a stones throw away from wilderness centre , the two top rooms were beautiful and comfortable with great views of the Indian ocean and dunes. great having the entire place to yourself with all the facilities and conveniences of a home but with the luxury touches of a hotel.

    Lovely little place with easy access to the beach and village. Friendly and helpful host. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was divine (we’ve been staying at various places on the garden route and Wilderness on the Sea is, so far, the only place to have a truly decent shower 🚿)
