This is a beautiful resort in nature with lovely views of the Touw River. We booked a ground floor unit overlooking the river. The room is spacious and modern. The food at the restaurant were great especially the lamb curry. Included in our booking was a basic buffet breakfast which were more than enough. We were there in April so the weather was not great for swimming. It is a family friendly resort - you can make use of the canoes at the swimming pool.
Featuring free WiFi, an outdoor pool and a barbecue, Cinnamon Boutique Guest House offers accommodation at the foot of the Outinqua Mountain Valley in Wilderness.

Lovely view from the communal living room. Also loved the huge bathroom. And the complimentary basket of fruit was most appreciated. The breakfast was absolutely five star.

Everything was as expected, I will visit again. The view was amazing from the deck. We opted for the additional R50 for eggs and bacon added to the included breakfast of toast, cereal and fruit. It was very quiet, we expected some festivities in the bar area, however it was quiet, I think it is due to us visiting mid-week.

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 Rondi was awesome! Sweetly made up & super comfortable. The location was fun and we got to meet the family and their animals too! Lovely sustainable place ~ would recommend staying on days that Heritage bakery is open so you can fully enjoy! There’s a wonderful walk down to Wilderness beach, it was so raw and beautiful! Just a tip ~ if you’re into Glamping they do have 2 sites and they look epic!
The accommodation was perfect for a stay-over “hub” with a great view and access to a beach. The location is central to a wide range activities within the town of Wilderness and the surrounding towns. One of the main highlights was the included breakfast provided with the best hospitality from the hosts and typical large South African portions (if you choose to have a large breakfast).
I heartily recommend this hotel if you're searching for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's owner and staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast was tasty with a nice river view.
We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights in the south-side wilderness area, which was only ten minutes by driving to George Town.
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.
The location is right on the beach. Don't think you can get better than that... it is also less than 400m from the hub of Wilderness which means everything (shops, restaurants, pharmacy) is in walking distance. Fabulous!
The breakfast was scrumptious!
Great location where you can do daily walks from into the village of Wilderness or plan your trips to one of the many places / activities round the area
Open parking but safe and secure
New Spar just a few meters away
Above great restaurant
The location of the hotel and the views from the hotel are just amazing. The quality of the food that was served to us was outstanding . The staff were very friendly and did their best to ensure our stay was a memorable stay
This is truly outstanding accommodation. I have stayed in hotels in over fifty countries and Hamilton House is world class and rivals some of the best accommodation in the world! It was a joy to stay here.
While it is across the street from the beach, it is a very unbusy road. It is a nice distance outside of Wilderness. Still a few minutes drive, but feels quite remote. The beach and bluffs are amazing.
Wonderful breakfast and probably one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was clean, top quality and the location on the beach could not have been any better. I can’t wait to come back!
Lovely self catering apartment overlooking the river, well situated for all the sights/activities of wilderness. The room was well designed and the terrace with a bbq perfect for an evening meal.
Amazing view, cheap price compared to other accommodations in wilderness. The owners are very nice and took much care of us during our stay. Breakfast was excellent. A very recommended place.
We had the penthouse apartment which was spacious, very well furnished and presented and immaculately clean, it was serviced daily like a 5 star hotel room. Our host Ruan was very helpful
