    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 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).

    This home on the beach is splendid! My wife and I booked a weekend there, and loved the cozy atmosphere, and natural wonder just outside our door. If you're looking for a place to enjoy the beach with your family, this is it. Everything you may need was provided in the home, and our host Nora was the most lovely, interesting person.

    Everything was perfect! A stunning hotel in a beautiful location. Our room was spacious with wonderful decoration and gorgeous comfortable bed with crisp white sheets. Wonderful details made it extra special - from the bag packed ready for the beach, to the coffee and biscuits replenished daily. And the team were lovely!

    This cottage in the middle of the green wild with a stunning view over the wilderness bay left an unforgettable memory. Our host was more than helping. He did an extra 1 hour drive to rescue us from a car breakdown in the late evening on the day of our arrival. Thank you so much, we’ll come back!

    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.
