A fantastic experience from when we walked in the door - Met by the friendliest staff I have experienced to date and a bonus was the room being upgraded at no charge - The facilities have been upgraded and renovated to a beautiful modern look and the breakfast was exceptionally good - The Incredible gardens are meticulously maintained - I honestly did not expect such a great stay - I wish I had booked longer!

A lovely small boutique hotel with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. It’s located close to the Wilderness beach. The Guesthouse offers free on-premise parking.
We received excellent service from Dombi who served us at reception and at breakfast. She offered great advice on things we could do in Wilderness, including the Saturday market at Sedgefield which is an excellent one to visit.

Spectacular view, incredible sunsets! Perfect for sundowners. The land is covered with native indigenous plants that are medicinal, and draw beautiful wildlife like sunbirds.

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.
James's place is situated perfectly on the beach, with stunning views along the coast of Wilderness where you can spot dolphins frolicking. The hotel is one of the most considered places we've ever stayed, every little touch or requirement you can think of has already been catered to; the complimentary room fridge, fabulous breakfast and rather saucy in-room shower being a few of our favourites!
Would absolutely recommend booking Dune Villa & plan to return in the coming years.
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.
Location directly on the beach and also use of the gardens for sunbathing. Very large room. Breakfast room had great views and breakfast was very good. Hotel also had other sitting areas which could be used by guests. Very efficient laundry service.
Centrally located in the beautiful Wilderness village. Perfect location and friendly staff. I liked the idea of staying in a hotel that has been there for so long. Everything was clean and the breakfast was good.
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.
Wonderful breakfast and probably one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was clean, top quality and the location on the beach could not have been any better. I can’t wait to come back!
Incredible location and amazing views from rooms and public areas. Staff had amazing attitudes and were helpful at all times
Easy to travel to other cities in the Garden Route from hotel too
This place is amazing. Our room had such a beautiful view to the beach. Workers were friendly. Breakfast was good. There is a small walking distance from the beach to the Wilderness center.
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.
Gorgeous spot to start you kanu tour right off the hotel property. They are 100 years old soon, which is amazing, and are renovating a lot currently. Really nice compound.
