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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ideal location. Friendly staff. Best overall value for money. Breakfast is idea and fillingl for travellers driving far. Nice break away for newly weds or young couple. It's in the garden route and near great restaurants and beautiful scenery. Map of Africa is only a few minutes away. To find your happy place and total relaxation go to Whales Way.

    Everything was perfect! A stunning hotel in a beautiful location. Our room was spacious with wonderful decoration and gorgeous comfortable bed with crisp white sheets. Wonderful details made it extra special - from the bag packed ready for the beach, to the coffee and biscuits replenished daily. And the team were lovely!

    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!
