Find Hotels in Wilderness, South Africa

We had a great stay at the Wilderness hotel. Staff were friendly and helped carry our baggage on arrival. I booked our stay over a few different bookings and eventually got the rooms sorted and remained in one room. The hotel are recovering from a long period being closed and one cant expect that all facilities are 100%, but the thing that matters are that they are all trying very hard and their effort is noticable. One cant be too hard on them, especially because they are rated 3 star. Definately getting value for your money. Enjoyed the stay and looking forward staying there again... And hopefully notice some improvement!

This place has been a holiday destination for me as i was growing up and it still is now, with my own little family. The hotel isn't too modern but it has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. Greatest perk is that the cater for muslims. It is strictly halaal (yay!). The food was exceptional. Breakfasts were different each morning and there is a chef who makes your eggs as you wish. The view of the ocean as you enjoy your breakfast is spectacular! Even the walk to the private beach is so welcoming and refreshing. Being a private person, this was idyllic and perfect for me. The staff was so friendly and hospitable. This was truly one of the best holiday experiences. There's so much to offer and appreciate about this gem. I'm already working out when my family and i can escape to this little bit of paradise again. The 5 hour drive (with a busy baby) is most certainly worth it!

The acommodation is new, clean, and modern. However, you can get a much better room with half the price in wilderness There is really no facilities in this place. It's just the room you booked and that's it. The swimming pool is small. The dining area is small and breakfast they provide is not that good. Most of the rooms they shared balconies with each other. The pictures don't reflect the real feel of the room. The bathroom is tiny and, has no ventlation.

A great place to stop over for a couple of nights in Wilderness. Beautiful view of the sea from their terrace. Denise & Lou are very friendly and helpful hosts, make you feel like you're visiting old friends in their house. Just check that you're getting what you booked with Agoda, not very clear. Best contacting the property directly after booking to be sure. A minor issue compared to the great setting.

Staying in Xanadu for 4 nights in Presidential Suite during our trip around South Africa. I don't even have a word to describe the view from this room... amazing... breathtaking... beautiful... Defenitely the best guesthouse on our way! Furthermore it's probably the best stay for last 5 years we're traveling around the world! There're so many kind words was saying to describe this house that I have actually nothing to add except that this are all true. You'll fall in love the decor in the house which is tastefully chosen and the hosts have paid attention to every detail. Communicating with Albert you'll understand what the true South African hospitality is. Don't miss this diamond of Garden Route!!!

WE only spent 1 night in Wilderness before heading to Knysna. We arrived late at night and had no issues with check-in. We had to drive back to town about an hour after check-in and it was quite scary as we were two girls driving alone in very dark roads and streets. Breakfast the next day was really nice and had a homey feel. We didn't really get to enjoy the pool and the morning views much as we had to leave early. The owner recommended a few nice places to eat aswell as attractions in Wilderness which was very nice and helpful.

Wish we had stayed longer😌 we arrived tired and went onto the spacious terrace out front of our large room and couldn't believe our luck. Excellent value for money. We had it all ! Excellent room with an unbelievable view of beach at Wilderness, few steps through the lovely gardens with sun beds and were on the beach. Fantastic! Breakfast was great with a lovely view again.

Me and my daughter planned a peaceful weekend away and that's exactly what we found here. We stayed in room no 4. It has a beautiful little garden with a lovely view and birds singing and adding to the peaceful, beautiful atmosphere. The room consists of everything you need, a little kitchenette, tv, bathroom, etc. Carmen and her staff are the most friendly, helpfull people. We would defnitely return!!

A beautiful Guest House ,Tastefully Furnished and immaculate in detail. The Garden room is spacious and houses a king size bed and a huge bathroom complete with rain shower. The private garden is home to many types of birds and all are welcomed with water,seed and fruit supplied by the Hosts Gerald and JD . We were fortunate to sight the Knysna Lurie .JD phoned our room to tell us it was feeding on the breakfast patio. It is a magnificent bird. Gerald and JD provide an amazing breakfast starting with a cold spread of fruit,cheeses,cold meats,croissants,muffins,assorted breads and cereals and yogurts. All this is followed by an English Breakfast or a variety of egg dishes. JD and Gerald are committed to providing an excellent service to their guests and are gracious and caring. Their area Knowledge is remarkable. Booking Wilderness Manor will be a holiday in itself!

I spent an extra night here once I saw the view from my river facing room. So serene! The hotel is also far from the N2 highway where other hotel guests may hear the N2 traffic. The hotel has its own canoes so you can use it for free. Eden Adventures is on site if you plan to do more adventurous activities. Good wifi in the common areas. Friendly staff. Safe parking. Just don't stay in room 10 (the first room I was given facing the parking - I found it a little mouldy). Without hesitation the receptionist moved me to room 28 on the river which was much better (so good that I extended the night). If in Wilderness make sure you check out the Map of Africa Viewpoint which is a 10 minute drive up one of the mountains. That view is worth your trip there!

Worth staying for one night if you are eating at the restaurant and you don't want to drive home. Otherwise the room is small; the house is in activity from 16.30hrs getting ready for the evening guests; the main coast road is just across the lake and quite noisy; taxi options are scarce; and its a mile walk to the village. The restaurant food is excellent, but there are better accommodation options in the area.

We were so lucky to bumped into Moontide's owner while we were at St Francis bay. We had no plan to stop at Wilderness while on the way to Cape Town. Hence it came as a pleasant addition to our trip. Upon arriving at Moontide, we were awe by this exceptionally unique guesthouse. Moontide's premise was tastefully designed with each guest room tiered, from boat house by the lake, to treetop rooms. We chose the treetop room and had a lovely view of the lush greenery and lake. The room is beautifully furnished in African theme. There was bathtub and an outdoor shower area. The highlight of Moontide, for me at least, is their 2 intelligent and gorgeous Siamese cats. As a 100% purr cat lover, I am elated to have their company. Another plus point, they had heated bed. We get to lay in the warm bed, while keeping the balcony door open, feeling the cool winter breeze. Our biggest regret, was that we can't afford to stay another night as we had a schedule to meet.

I have worked in 38 countries and am visiting the grandchildren in South Africa. Daughter allowed us to take them on their first visit to Addo elephant park and then onwards to Safari Ostrich farm. Decided to stay one night at Far Hills and were completely amazed. Will definitely return when back in South Africa (but next time possibly on a romantic visit with "granna nana". Daughter "Princess" is definitely planning on visiting.

Definitely not for the refined traveler. No towels provided for thos staying in the accommodation. Very basic indeed, The ablutions need a massive upgrade. Communal Kitchen heaving with cups and overloaded fridge. Only for students and backpackers I feel.. Staff friendly enough but although the surroundings are very lush and pretty. there is a constant stream of people meandering around. A table and chairs outside my room with a constant night light shining in to the glass door made it a rest spot for those in serious and normal voiced conversation right outside. I suppose it didn't dawn on them that someone else may be trying to sleep ! I have to say that "mindfulness" in among the nature lovers is a tad lacking ! One needs to consider others if you are in a shared" spaces. The cost ? A hefty R518.00 for a very basic bunk bed.... down the road R800 for a luxury room with gorgeous bathroom use of all facilities as well as a FULL breakfast. No comparison. Won't be doing that again

I travelled to Wilderness in July for a conference and was looking for a quiet place to stay for a few days. The Old Trading Post was the choice and I don't regret making it. It was very comfortable and the attention given by the hosts was excellent. Although a little out of the main centre, the drives each day around the lakes were genuinely pleasant and a great way to start and end the day.

Hosts were so lovely, we arrived late after travel delays which wasn’t a problem at all, we were greeted right away and walked to our room. The bed was huge and comfortable, and the room was very dark and quiet which was perfect for a big sleep after 36 hours of travelling. The common areas were beautiful and had every amenity you could need. We woke up to a gorgeous view of the mountains and delicious in room coffee. Highly recommend Victori Inn for well priced luxury along the garden route.

We got a unit (I think suite 6) which allowed us access to a kitchen and lounge area. The kitchen didn't have an oven, only stove top. If you like plunger coffee take your own plunger. Everything else was absolutely great. Lovely size room, fridge and kitchenette to make coffee, electric blankets on the bed, heater in the room, lovely sized bath, good water pressure for shower. For breakfast you have a nice view from the main house, overlooking the sea. They have quite a wide range of options for breakfast including omelette, fruit salad and muesli, flapjacks with banana and bacon, plus three other options. You are not even 2 minutes drive from several restaurants, the spar, and shops. I would definitely stay here again.
