Thank you so much for an incredible stay and all the hospitality. The name of the guesthouse is very appropriate, seeing that we watched dolphins surf and frolic in the waves on both days of our stay. What a great memory!
South AfricaAs you round the corner then this property looks very unassuming, until you set foot in the door. The decor is stylish and modern, the rooms clean and beautifully set out, the view from our room was exceptional (with the most beautiful sunrise), the service from Lettie and her staff was topnotch and the breakfast was great! The location, with its own private access to the beach, can’t be faulted. I actually can’t fault our stay at all and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
South AfricaWhen I tried connecting to the wifi, it did not work, my phone and laptop could not locate the guesthouse wifi, which seemed to be off at the time, but i did not want to bother the host. I missed the normal warm breakfast such as bacon, eggs, mushrooms etc, (due to covid regulations). And thanks to the upgrade of the room.

Nestled on golden sand dunes, overlooking the unspoilt beaches of Wilderness, lies Dolphin Dunes - a charming beachfront home with luxurious and tasteful guest accommodation. Our casually elegant home is wonderfully comfortable. Relax on the sea
Lettie welcomes you
The climate is wonderful all year round, temperatures hardly ever dropping below 8�C. The average rainfall is around 700mm, spread all year round, meaning that the winters are as warm and sunny as the summertime. Back in the 1800's, Wilderness was already renowned for its hospitality and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Back in those days, a small stone farmhouse was the only form of lodging and it was through this that the legend of Wilderness hospitality and goodwill was established.
