Wilderness hotellia

Plussat: Fantastic location direct at the beach lovely hosts with friendly staff , we were well looked after had an excellent breakfast We felt very relaxed in this stunning Guest Villa .

Plussat: Xanadu Guest Villa is a most beautiful home overlooking the seafront with easy access to the beach. The house is adorned with the owner's artwork which is stunning.

Miinukset: We liked absolutely everything and only wished we had stayed for more than one night.

Plussat: This was our second stay and we only can recommend it!

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Everything about Xanadu reminds you that it is a 5 star establishment, from the owner’s friendly reception, to the pristine gardens, amazing ocean views, delicious breakfast and service of the staff, to the beautifully decorated luxurious rooms. Xanadu is truly what dreams are made of and we were so blessed to experience this piece of heaven on earth for our 5 year wedding anniversary. Thank you Albert and staff for truly going the extra mile to make our stay this memorable!

Plussat: Had a wonderful stay. The most amazing sea view and a wonderful beach for an early morning walk. Fabulous breakfast with lots of variety. A very comfortable stay.

Plussat: From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Everything is so beautiful and the view and setting spectacular!

Miinukset: Absolutely fantastic place with wonderful service!

Plussat: Really lovely setting with amazing views of the beach (even saw dolphins at breakfast) and perfect for beach walks. Didn't matter that we had a room facing opposite the sea as there was plenty of comfortable seating outside and in the indoor lounge areas overlooking the sea. Room very clean and spacious. Breakfast also lovely! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Miinukset: Nothing it was all great

Plussat: Wonderful, impressive seaview with direct access of the beach. Two big lounge areas, nice breakfast, nice host couple.

Miinukset: A new coffee machine is desirable.....

Plussat: Incredible location, very peaceful and relaxing. The chalets are awesome. Vida and Anthony are lovely hosts. The breakfast was great as well.

Plussat: Amazing rooms with modern stylish design and an incredible view over the mountains of wilderness. Very comfortable king-size bed. Our hosts were so kind and helpful. Especially Anthony was so kind to take his time helping me to change my flat tire. Definitely a cool guy. Thanks again for that!

Plussat: Loved this place. Vera and Anthony were so friendly. The place has amazing views, great breakfast, and is beautifully designed. If you want total relaxation this is the perfect place.

Plussat: We loved this place, newly renovated and beautifully done. A realy special place in the middle of the nowhere that feels very exclusive for an affordable price. Breakfast was unique as well and we liked it a lot- a little break for the traditional breakfast you eat everywhere

Miinukset: The road is very challenging- a mix of dirt and rocky road up a steep hill- that ride is no joke- I would suggest to arrive well before dark and to bring dinner supplies to avoid driving that road more than twice. With that said we thought it was worth it. I have another note- there was a lot of light coming in the morning- The blinds are thin and not really doing anything.

Plussat: Vida and Anthony were so nice and helpful. Guys are so passionate about what they are doing. That's why this place is so cozy and amazing to stay. There were so many things we liked! I would say swings on the terrace, outdoor shower, amazing view, and Vida's breakfast are off the charts. The interior of lodges and Lapa looks minimalistic and reminds Scandinavian style. The place is so calm and peaceful with beautiful and pure nature around. I would definitely recommend spending at least a night here to break away from everything and fall asleep on the terrace.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Outstanding place to stay and relax! The location is just perfect with a great view but still just 10 minutes from Wilderness beach and restaurants. The hosts invest a lot of time and love in the accomodation and the time you will stay there. Awesome Breakfast.

Plussat: Best accommodation that we had on our journey through South Africa. Amazing rooms, great views, lovely hosts and a beautiful surrounding nature.

Plussat: You are surrounded with nature and the beautiful views. The mountain cabin is decorated beautiful and is luxurious. We liked the swing and the day bed on the deck!

Plussat: Wonderful View of the mountains. Cool Design of Lodges. Very Good breakfast. Excellent and lovely owner!!!

Plussat: We really loved everything about our stay in Wilderness. The Mes Amos Guest House was the best place we could choose. Everything is exactly as described and even better. We would had loved to stay longer and will do so on our next trip to South Africa. Gerhard is the most amazing Host you can have... has the best recommendations for food and activities and is such a lovely person in general we had so much fun talking with him and honestly learned so much during our conversations. We highly recommend this beautiful place to every traveler on the garden route.

Plussat: Room was big and clean, comfortable bed. Lovely bath and shower. Good view.

Plussat: We must admit the pictures made the place look a little dated but when we got there we realised the decor was actually gorgeous. Eating breakfast in the garden watching the birds splatter about in the fountain was a lovely way to begin the day. Staff were friendly and breakfast delicious - can’t go wrong when eggs benedict is on the menu!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely fresh breakfast. Plenty of options.lady of the house couldn't do enough for us. Very willing to engage in conversation regarding best places to visit, etc.keen to pass on her knowledge.wouldnt hesitate to recommend.

Miinukset: Our only downside was that we didn't have enough time there. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed Sunday evenings. If we had realised earlier in our planning, we would have chosen a different day as the restaurant is noted for its fine dining.

Plussat: We were recommended this hotel by a couple we met travelling and boy it didn't disappoint. The evening meal in the restaurant was second to none with paired wines. We were the only ones staying the night so had the terrace all to ourselves which was lovely. Lovely room. Nice and peaceful.

Plussat: Amazing location besides the river. Very rich and delicious breakfast. The dinner served in the restaurant was a delicious and interesting event, not to be missed. We enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: Just 1 night....

Plussat: The breakfast was really good and we had a lovely view over the river. The room was a good size with a large comfy bed and a terrace with view over the river. Dinner at the restaurant is outstanding; an absolute treat.

Plussat: This place was amazing, stunning view from room. We also had dinner in restaurant and the food was exceptional.

Plussat: Great accommodation with balcony overlooking the river. Within a short walk to town and the beach. Amazing dinning at the restaurant.

Plussat: Excellent stay in Wilderness. Awesome hosting by Newton and Sonia- they helped us plan the rest of our trip! Location is amazing - first line to sea view and also has a 5 min. staircase to beach. Breakfast was excellent and rooms are big, bed was great!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The owners are diligent and run a clean establishment. I highly recommend the guesthouse. Wonderful!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was fabulous, as usual!! The best B and B we have ever stayed in, and we have used them all over the world. J.D and Gerald are the most attentive and fastidious host's we have ever had. The quality of the premises, renovated since our last visit three years ago, the breakfast and the overall assistance are simply first rate.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing!!

Plussat: The property is located in a beautiful place. Situated on a hill you can go down to the beach which is less than 5 min down. Amazing view. The couple that owns it Lena and Hank are very sweet and made us feel like home. Breakfast was great, Lena ensured we had every thing we liked and she has the most amazing baba ganouch:). It was home away from home and def recommend it.

Plussat: Boutique hotel which deserves the name, 4 rooms in an refurbished Villa in best location of Wilderness, right above a private beach overlooking the ocean. Interior of Villa is completely new, clean and very comfortable with high specs through-out. Very nice hosts who give you the feel of being at home, serving breakfast in the morning and always there to help. Without a doubt the best place we have stayed in on our Garden Route trip.

Miinukset: Nada.

Miinukset: Nothing

Dirk and Christof were awesome hosts and made our stay so much more memorable. Loved every bit of it.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely location with spectacular views. Great hospitality!

Plussat: Nice Rooms, Extreme good breakfast

Miinukset: From the pictures I thought it is more off the path then it actually is.

Plussat: Large rooms and bathrooms, very friendly staff, great restaurant.

Plussat: Everything!!! It is amazing place to stay.

Plussat: Immediately upon checkin, the entire staff was extremely inviting and friendly. The managers were always checking in on you, even at breakfast time. The views were amazing. The bed was comfy. The spa had great offerings. The food was delicious. Great stay all around.

Miinukset: The gym was open to the public, which is fine, but the cleaning standards weren’t up to par with the rest of the place. Lots of great equipment, but it just felt a little dirty everywhere.

Plussat: Unbelievable views and very spacious and luxurious room with a deck area looking right over the beach. Lovely touch to provide cake and champagne for a birthday celebration.

Miinukset: Somehow although the service was very good we felt there was a lack of atmosphere in the restaurant and bar area. In the spa area unfortunately the steam room was out of order at the time of our visit.

Plussat: All great besides the food- minimalism has to be to go for it! Not for this price! But all other was great!! Thyx to the staff!

Plussat: The location of this Guesthouse is wonderful, the wooden walkways outside take you straight to the beach. The staff is very nice and they serve a lovely a la cart breakfst which is included.

Miinukset: nothing, really!

Plussat: The location! It’s straight on the beach with beautiful view. The room was comfortable and spacious. The outside terrace had amazing view as well. Breakfast was very tasty, you order from the menu. Coffee was nice.

Plussat: Wonderful view onto the ocean from the bed. Very good breakfast. Everything is clean.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent. It was located on a plate! It was great to re-visit after 17 years. I have already replied to this review so don't send me another. Lettie was an excellent hostess.

Miinukset: The loo seat needed fixing correctly.

Plussat: Little flowers on the beds

Miinukset: View

Plussat: Beautiful room and amazing location.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was great. Staff and owner were excellent.

Miinukset: It was great.

Plussat: View from the room and the chance to walk down to the beach

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been better. The furniture in the room was old an very used

Plussat: Great location, very nice b&b. Warm and friendly welcome.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The host was super nice and welcoming, the room was very quiet, the bed was very comfortable and the view was amazing

Miinukset: It is really hard to write this because the host is such a nice person but he really needs to be aware of the following: 1. the room description says its 28 meters. maybe with the balcony it is.. the room itself is 8-9 meters. the smallest room i have ever been in. almost no place to stand up 2. everything in the room is super old - furniture, broken window shutters, bathroom, the towels were moist and looked at least 100 years old. 3. somewhat poor breakfast - not really tasty, there were no water/juice on the table, you have to specifically ask for it and it is not very convenient. there were not even napkins on the table.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, and I had an enjoyable dinner with other guests.

Plussat: Host is very welcoming and friendly.

Plussat: Friendly, informative host booked very good restaurant for us within walking distance. Comfortable room with mini bar and patio overlooking verdant garden area. Wide range of cooked breakfast choices.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike.

Plussat: The pool, breakfast, bathroom, bed

Miinukset: _

Plussat: Location from the beach by car

Miinukset: It was mentioned that it was a 6 minute walk away but with two kids and on my own, walking alone under the bridge was unsafe and not the best advise from the host. The locals at the beach advised that it’s best to use a car which reiterated my instinct. The host is helpful and warm but does not make up for the fact that for the price it was sub standard. So for a local South African you can get better quality Rand for Rand from an alternate venue but if you an international traveler your $€¥ will find the accommodation quaint and charming.

Plussat: Property is beautiful and incredibly well situated. Full of character, warmth and quiet romance.

Plussat: Great accommodation. Free use of canoes, swim in the river (brown water, sandy ground) and a short walk to the beach. Lekker breakfast with a fantastic view. We had a 2 bedroom 1 bath accommodation for two couples. One excellent big room and a small average one.

Plussat: The scenery was spectacular. The lodging was comfortable, and the staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: A lovely view on the river, nicely decorated and spacious rooms, free kayaks and Kanus which may be used, nice places and chairs to relax at the river.

Miinukset: There was a hairdryer in the room but unfortunately it matches to none of the power plugs. The breakfast had a good variety of warm things (which were also lovely) but for those not wanting to eat warm things for breakfast and no musli the choice was quite limited.

Plussat: Location, accommodation, swimming pool, wonderful breakfasts and Jon's cheerful helpful personality

Plussat: We return each year. Location wonderful, John a wonderful host

Plussat: The host was extremely friendly. The atmosphere was just great!! We will definitely go again.

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn't like.

Plussat: We had the most wonderful stay at the beautiful,immaculate Shining Waters Guesthouse. Jon was so helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay as relaxing and as enjoyable as possible. Our suite was gorgeous and cleaned daily to look so neat and tidy. All the staff were always obliging and always greeted us with smiles on their faces. The bed was so comfortable!! We slept so peacefully and we feel so rested. Luna and Prinz made our stay that much more special with their wonderful natures. Parting from them was not easy!! The breakfast was nothing short of superb. Should you be wondering where to stay whilst at the Wilderness, we highly recommend staying at the exceptional Shining Waters Guesthouse.

Plussat: Amazing view & Jon was so friendly

Plussat: I liked everything, especially value for money. Decor was really nice, so tasteful. Breakfast, especially the way the fruit was presented, was great. I'd definitely recommend and would stay again.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The host was outstanding and a fantastic conversationalist.... very knowledgeable on surrounds and life in general. This has been one of the most pleasant stays i have had at a BNB and certainly will make use of this place in future ...... even for private accommodation

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike .... pity about the weather as it spoilt what would be stunning views but we needed the rain so no complaints

Plussat: Excellent sunset and sunrise view right on the ocean, extremely friendly host, fresh fruit and great coffee for breakfast

Plussat: Jon was very hospitable. He even helped us booking activities and restaurants. We had an unforgettable journey in Wilderness!

Plussat: The host Jon was brilliant accommodating and informative Booked a restaurant, loaned us a charger, made a pleasant atmosphere for everyone

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great overview of the sea and stunning position: very relaxing environment. Inside a beautiful context.

Miinukset: The owners are too much present. They don't leave privacy during the breakfast. The breakfast is poor.

Plussat: Very friendly, homely and welcoming.

Plussat: The position of this guest house is outstanding overlooking the ocean

Miinukset: A little remote, no nearby resaurants

Plussat: Lovely guesthouse. Well presented and the location was great. The owners were extremely hospitable. However, the room was inadequate for three people and it seemed that the hosts were unaware that we would be checking in with a child.

Plussat: clean , helpful staff

Plussat: The owners were very friendly and helpful; sharing information about the area. Beautiful views of the ocean from our porch.

Miinukset:

Plussat: We were made very welcome and we were very well looked after by the owners. The room was great with a lovely view of the sea as it was positioned just on the sea front on top of the cliffs.

Miinukset:
