A fantastic experience from when we walked in the door - Met by the friendliest staff I have experienced to date and a bonus was the room being upgraded at no charge - The facilities have been upgraded and renovated to a beautiful modern look and the breakfast was exceptionally good - The Incredible gardens are meticulously maintained - I honestly did not expect such a great stay - I wish I had booked longer!

We received excellent service from Dombi who served us at reception and at breakfast. She offered great advice on things we could do in Wilderness, including the Saturday market at Sedgefield which is an excellent one to visit.

Spectacular view, incredible sunsets! Perfect for sundowners. The land is covered with native indigenous plants that are medicinal, and draw beautiful wildlife like sunbirds.

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.
Wilderness is one of my favourite places in SA and it was great to stay at Dune Beach House, a wonderful place right on the beach. Most rooms overlook the ocean which is worth the money. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful, especially Gary, also when I had a special request, thank you so much! The breakfast was fantastic, with starting off with a great big plate of fruits. We also got great tips on what to do in Wilderness, so we went kayaking which really was a wonderful experience.
Mes Amis is a beautiful guest house, with very comfortable, gorgeously appointed rooms, in one of the most beautiful spots in South Africa. Paul and the team were excellent in every way, making us feel completely at home and going out of there way to ensure we are comfortable and well looked after.
The house has direct access to the stunning Wilderness beachfront, and is perfectly situated to enjoy both sunrise and sunset with fantastic coffee or a glass of wine.
Absolutely recommended!
Ideal location. Friendly staff. Best overall value for money. Breakfast is idea and fillingl for travellers driving far. Nice break away for newly weds or young couple. It's in the garden route and near great restaurants and beautiful scenery. Map of Africa is only a few minutes away. To find your happy place and total relaxation go to Whales Way.
I heartily recommend this hotel if you're searching for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's owner and staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast was tasty with a nice river view.
We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights in the south-side wilderness area, which was only ten minutes by driving to George Town.
Sea Paradise was perfect! The view and the sound of the ocean was absolutely mesmerising! There is nothing quite like falling asleep to the sound of the ocean! A few steps out the door and you're right on the beach! A really beautiful getaway and a really good breakfast!
This hotel definitely exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was amazing and the food was delicious. Housekeeping was sweet and left us surprises for Easter (cookies and a teddy bear with a handwritten note). We will be staying again :)
The cloverleigh guest house is a great place for couples wanting to explore the Garden route. It is secluded but walking distance to Wilderness village centre and the Beach. The room has a fantastic view of the lagoon and the hosts are extremely accommodating.
On the beach, kitchen is good, showers and bathroom good, wifi works well in dorm room. Dorm room is amazing- open view of ocean. Super chill and welcoming vibe . Love it 😍. I returned there 2x so it’s definitely the best place in Wilderness to stay!
Well appointed modern guesthouse located right on the beach at Wilderness with stunning sea views. Sarie, the manager, is charming and saw to our every need. We cannot rate Escape to the Beach too highly and are already planning our next visit!
Nice square in Wilderness. Hotel is actually located above a good restaurant. Room was the most spacious I had in 3 weeks SA. Excellent bathroom with rainshower. Huge balcony, very safe environment to walk around.
The view, the welcome, the breakfast, the bed. Very relaxing to hear the waves just outside the door. Would have stayed longer but we were travelling through the garden route.
We had an exceptional stay at MGM Wilderness. Our room, the property and service were top-notch. Our hosts and their staff members were all extremely kind and caring.
The location is amazing. Overlooking The Indian Ocean. Walking distance to Salinas bar and restaurant on the beach. Great stop off whilst driving The Garden Route
