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.
