Shangri-la is a lovely boutique hotel in a beautiful location. The staff were very friendly and helpful and on many levels. The views from the room were amazing and you truly feel that you have stepped out of your everyday world into this quiet retreat.

The incredible serenity and tranquility of the location. It really is a paradise on earth. The Manor itself is a combination of a beautiful English Manor and a tropical serene place in Thailand. The son of the owners was so kind and helpful, showing us around and helping us with everything. The hotelsuite was very spacious and comfortable and beautifully furnished. The bed was very comfortable. We had lovely hours sitting either at our own balcony, overlooking the mountains, or at the pool. The pool was exquisite; very clean and large enough to really swim instead of only dipping in. We had two more than delicious meals in the evening at the Shangri-la Manor.

“Lovely boutique hotel off the beaten track that could use a bit of sprucing up.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple

The decor feels a bit dated and occasionally jarring. I know that it has recently come under new management and I think that if they put some effort into getting a more unified aesthetic in the property, it will become a true gem in Wilderness.

Very good

Not so much what we didn't like, but rather suggestions. We would have liked a second bigger bin in the lounge area. Also some tumblers and mugs would be nice in the room. The heated towel rail was a nice touch but this was prone to infrequent shocks, so we didn't make use of it.
Great location and surroundings. Room is very comfortable and much larger than normal. The blackout curtains were of high quality and did a very good job of keeping out the early morning sun. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Problems with allocated room on first night, curtains didn’t meet. Air conditioning failed in morning so we were moved to another room (deluxe room which we had booked anyway) bathrooms are not easy to clean as stone tiling. Breakfast poor - not as shown in photos.
Fabulous view from great big balcony. Very quiet at night and dark so good place for rest and relaxation. Staff lovely and helpful.

Throw in a fabulous private move theatre, huge pool, great staff and next level surroundings and you cannot help having a good time.

“Tranquil getaway, very comfortable, perfect location for our babymoon!”
- • Leisure trip

I'm going to clutch at straws when I say that the bed wasn't as firm as I might have liked, and that there could have been a few more plug points, especially in the bathroom (which is apparently being worked on) There was also no lunch officially available, or dinner, so we bought some of our own food in, but there was no dustbin other than what was provided in the bathroom.
Beautiful establishment, excellent staff, the location was great and very accessible (5 minutes from Wilderness itself, but the specific location "Hoekwil" had its own charm and was a bit of a hidden gem, with a cafe serving award winning cheese cake!) The room was large and comfortable, tranquil view, very quiet. The breakfast was well prepared, albeit slightly limited for a 5 star establishment. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, and the rate was very competitive.
