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.
The chalet is located on a property bordering Rondevlei and Langevlei, two lakes of major importance from a naturalist point of view (RAMSAR areas). For birdwatchers (like me), this is a place of great interest. In addition, Tim (the owner) is also a birdwatcher and was very helpful, offering to guide me to find the difficult endemic birds (Victorin's warbler). We had a great time in this beautiful area of the garden route. Self catering mandatory. The chalet is very well equipped for cooking.
What an amazing relaxing stay in the Wilderness right on the lagoon for swimming, canoeing, bird watching and close to the beach, hikes, restaurants, all adventure activities and the well equipped little Spar.
We loved our excellent, comfortable and super clean accommodation in our well equipped self catering suite. The best was the very friendly and helpful hosts, Nadia and Gert who couldn't do enough to help us with anything we needed, even an early check in.
Beautiful location, a really lovely beach house - extremely comfy bed, a little sea view. Lincy was absolutely lovely and so helpful during our stay. Would definitely stay again. Well placed for walking 5-10 minutes to restaurants, map of Africa viewpoint, various walking trails and of course the beach is right on the doorstep and Wilderness beach is BEAUTIFUL.
What a great hostel.. location is awesome.. Relaxing environment where I fell asleep with the sound of waves crashing on the beach..
Staff, accommodation, the bar, the wood oven pizza and live music
I really enjoy it all..
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and friendly hostel.
I stayed 3 lovely nights.
- location is breath-taking, nothing else to see from the room than the beach and Indian Ocean
- Gary and his staff are genuine and friendly. The breakfast they prepared is difficult to top
- the hotel is nicely decorated, some very cool artworks all around the place
- good dinner options close by
We had a wonderful time at Amber Light Wilderness Beach Cottage. Very comfortable beds, Ross and his team were great and very helpful, the location is great, super easy to walk into the village or to the beach, it's a wonderful place to stay, would highly recommend.
The location is just in front of the ocean. Quiet and safe area, parking available just behind the building. 10 minutes drive from Wilderness and Garden Route national park. Friendly staff. Fully equipped kitchen.
Tranquil shores is a beautiful place and Wilderness is a lovely little town. Gideon and Eurena were great hosts. We really appreciated the advice they gave us. Their tips greatly enhanced our trip. Thanks!
Nora received us and we never had such a warm welcome. The house is so well equipped and ON THE BEACH. The weather was so good but a weekend stay is too short. We will visit again and again.
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
The best place in Wilderness heights. Calm and stylish, with incredible view from terrace. It was a great experience in South Africa. Thanks a lot to owner!
