    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.

    The property was way too beautiful, perfect location with magnificent views, absolutely breath taking. Jeroene is an amazingly kind and warm host, received such an amazing hospitality. The house is clean and managed daily. Sparkling pool, beautiful outdoor sitting area, the breakfast room has a breathtaking ocean view. A perfect place to create your holiday itinerary. I highly recommend Koo Boo Berry Self Catering Guest House if you want you visit the Garden route, Wilderness.

    This is an awesome property. The location is breathtaking and it’s very convenient to explore the nearby region in the garden route , Oudtshoorn and Cango Caves. The host Ms. Hoffman is an artist and her paintings are showcased throughout the property. It has a boutique studio vibe. Hoffmans are a warm couple who welcomes the guests personally and provides the introductory tour to the property. Right on the beach, it’s a great place to relax and explore.

    The Rondi was awesome! Sweetly made up & super comfortable. The location was fun and we got to meet the family and their animals too! Lovely sustainable place ~ would recommend staying on days that Heritage bakery is open so you can fully enjoy! There’s a wonderful walk down to Wilderness beach, it was so raw and beautiful! Just a tip ~ if you’re into Glamping they do have 2 sites and they look epic!

    The accommodation was perfect for a stay-over “hub” with a great view and access to a beach. The location is central to a wide range activities within the town of Wilderness and the surrounding towns. One of the main highlights was the included breakfast provided with the best hospitality from the hosts and typical large South African portions (if you choose to have a large breakfast).

    I just love this hotel. The staff is very friendly and because I always stay at that hotel when I'm in Wilderness I feel like part of the family. I cannot fault the hotel on anything. And of course the location is spectacular.
