The rondavels on the river are very nice. The rooms were all full but looked very nice. The breakfast was very basic , the food in the bain marie's was always cold but the omlettes were well cooked. The bread was just plain cheap bread - you can buy seed loaf and other bread at all Supermarkets.
Situated in the heart of the Garden Route, Views Hotel offers luxury suites with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. It features indoor and outdoor pools, and free Wi-Fi access.

Great location, friendly staff & amazing breakfast
Old Post Office Lodge is located in the village of Wilderness along the famous Garden Route. The town of George is just 15 minutes’ drive away and Knysna is 46 km from the property.
Tucked away at the end of a private road and right on the lagoon's edge, this 4-star lodge is a private paradise in the charming village of Wilderness.

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.
Beautiful location, a really lovely beach house - extremely comfy bed, a little sea view. Lincy was absolutely lovely and so helpful during our stay. Would definitely stay again. Well placed for walking 5-10 minutes to restaurants, map of Africa viewpoint, various walking trails and of course the beach is right on the doorstep and Wilderness beach is BEAUTIFUL.
We had a great moment at Wilderness Beach House Backpackers Lodge !
Located in a nice spot: you can see the ocean and hear the waves from your room :) A very peaceful beach is at 50m from the hostel.
We spend our two nights at the hostel bar : the staff was super friendly and drinks very affordable.
Would definitely recommend it !
The room is very big with a balcony. There is a fridge, coffee and tea in the room. The lodge is located right at the centre of the tiny town. Restaurants and supermarket are just a few minutes of walking distance. Wilderness NP is 40 mins walk away.
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 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
Absolute beach front, rooms with spectacular view, hotel furnished like you stay in a friend’s house, lots of comfortable couches in common areas, lots of very interesting coffee table books about South Africa. Lovely staff!
Wonderful location - perched on the hillside, giving you a view of the hills, the main town and the coastline with its sea haze. Tame knysna lourie comes to visit. Self catering room had private balcony.
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.
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 visited your hotel 30 years ago and now again - everything we experience at your hotel was the best and we are looking forward to make our next booking at the Fairy Knowe.
Loved the location. Walking distance into wilderness village. As well as direct access into the river right across the road.
Also loved that they were pet friendly.
