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.
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).
Beautiful and with amazingly friendly and welcoming hosts. The view was stunning and we had ample outside space on the balcony to enjoy it. Comfy bed and plenty of space to stretch out and repack our bags.
The next morning we had a delicious breakfast outside overlooking the lake. I want to think of reasons to return to the Garden Route just so I can stay here again, and longer.
The proximity to the beach was gorgeous - both a beautiful vista with sound of waves and access to the water via a path through the greenery. I really liked this charming hotel with nice gardens. I was leaving early the next morning and the host made sure I had a breakfast packed the night before.
The room was absolutely huge and very comfortable to stay in. The birds outside get fed a little so that you can do a little bird watching during breakfast which is lovely. The breakfast was fantastic, probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had.
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!
Very friendly and helpfull staff, nice room, great breakfast. Kayaks are there for some paddling on the river and the location is great: very close to town and also some hiking paths just off the hotel parking. We had a fabulous stay!
The location of the hotel and the views from the hotel are just amazing. The quality of the food that was served to us was outstanding . The staff were very friendly and did their best to ensure our stay was a memorable stay
Exceptional stay that included an extensive and delicious breakfast and amazing view of the ocean. Direct access to the beach was an added value! Couldn’t think of a better place to stay along the Garden Route!
This is truly outstanding accommodation. I have stayed in hotels in over fifty countries and Hamilton House is world class and rivals some of the best accommodation in the world! It was a joy to stay here.
While it is across the street from the beach, it is a very unbusy road. It is a nice distance outside of Wilderness. Still a few minutes drive, but feels quite remote. The beach and bluffs are amazing.
Amazing view, cheap price compared to other accommodations in wilderness. The owners are very nice and took much care of us during our stay. Breakfast was excellent. A very recommended place.
What an amazing stay, two rooms with a view and direct access to the beach. We had a great experience and very hospitable owners. Definitely one of the best Hotel we visited in South Africa.
Superbly friendly and welcoming hosts and staff in a beautiful small hotel fronting straight onto Wilderness beach. Great room and bathroom, excellent breakfast. Stunning views.
