A fantastic experience from when we walked in the door - Met by the friendliest staff I have experienced to date and a bonus was the room being upgraded at no charge - The facilities have been upgraded and renovated to a beautiful modern look and the breakfast was exceptionally good - The Incredible gardens are meticulously maintained - I honestly did not expect such a great stay - I wish I had booked longer!

This was one of our best stays we ever had. The entire team was committed and dedicated to their guest. One feel so happy and treated as valuable guest who is more than welcome. Thus, I can highly recommend this lovely guesthouse with a private atomosphere. The money you will spend is absolutely justisfied. We will definitely try to come back.

Spectacular view, incredible sunsets! Perfect for sundowners. The land is covered with native indigenous plants that are medicinal, and draw beautiful wildlife like sunbirds.

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.
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 🚿)
We had a wonderful time at Amber Light Wilderness Beach Cottage. Very comfortable beds, Ross and his team were great and very helpful, the location is great, super easy to walk into the village or to the beach, it's a wonderful place to stay, would highly recommend.
The property certainly lives up to its name, located at a vantage point overlooking a river bed, extremely scenic and tranquil.
Rooms are comfortable and very value for the price, Would totally recommend the place for a stay in Wilderness.
Very friendly and helpfull staff, nice room, great breakfast. Kayaks are there for some paddling on the river and the location is great: very close to town and also some hiking paths just off the hotel parking. We had a fabulous stay!
The location is just in front of the ocean. Quiet and safe area, parking available just behind the building. 10 minutes drive from Wilderness and Garden Route national park. Friendly staff. Fully equipped kitchen.
Incredible location and amazing views from rooms and public areas. Staff had amazing attitudes and were helpful at all times
Easy to travel to other cities in the Garden Route from hotel too
This place is amazing. Our room had such a beautiful view to the beach. Workers were friendly. Breakfast was good. There is a small walking distance from the beach to the Wilderness center.
We had an exceptional stay at MGM Wilderness. Our room, the property and service were top-notch. Our hosts and their staff members were all extremely kind and caring.
A great Hotel near the centre of Wilderness. Lovely breakfast which could be eaten on the terrace weather permitting, Very friendly and informative staff
