Whales Way Ocean Retreat ★★★★

"We stayed at Whales Way twice on our trip - once in December and then on our way home. What a lovely place to stop over at. Benji and Annie (and Benji's father) go out of their way to make the stay very pleasant. The first room was the garden room at the back - nice garden view the road noise from the N2 was not too bad. The TV is not worth watching and wifi was a little weak at times. The stay in the loft room made up for the garden room stay. What an amazing view over the sea. Breakfast was amazing. Benji and his father together made it happen and it was delicious. All in all, a great overnight B&B or even if you are staying in Wilderness for a few days. Recommended."

Views Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

"During one of the most painful times of my life—the sudden death of my husband on 02.11.2025 whilst on a dream holiday in South Africa , this hotel provided much more than a 5 star service , they showed a level of compassion and humanity that went far beyond anything I could have expected. From the very beginning, the managers and staff treated me not just as a guest, but as a person in deep grief. They were gentle, patient, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. Every interaction was handled with genuine care, dignity, and kindness. What stood out most was how far they went beyond their professional responsibilities. There was no obligation for them to do what they did—they did it purely out of empathy . In a moment when the world felt overwhelming, their support provided comfort, stability, and a sense of safety. I will never forget the compassion shown to me here. This is not just a hotel with excellent service—it is a place run by truly exceptional people. I am deeply grateful, and I cannot recommend them highly enough"

Serenity Ocean Lodge ★★★★

"Such a beautiful place and the hosts were so friendly and helpful. So sad we only could stay for one night. The rooms are spacious and the views stunning. The location is perfect for getting around Wilderness. Tea, coffee, sugar and rusks were provided. Hope to be back soon. 🥰"

Sea Paradise ★★★★

"We had the most pleasant stay at Sea Paradise, right on the beach and easy walking to the Wilderness village for the restaurants etc. The staff were lovely and very helpful, our room was very clean and very comfortable. Look forward to a return visit next year."

Hildesheim Guest Lodge ★★★★

"This place was breathtaking. Steve and Charmaine were amazing hosts and made us feel welcome immediately. My husband and I enjoyed the lovely spa bath in our room and we could take a few step and we were in that amazing pool. Every morning the breakfast were devine, so we could start the day. I will definitely recommend this to family and friends. We are planning our next visit soon!"

Beach Villa Wilderness ★★★★★

"As we walked through the door, it was a WOW moment, with the amazing view facing us! Our room was equally beautful, again fabulous view, spacious and well set out. The hospitality from the owners, then also with the couple looking after it, when they went away, was all totally outstanding. The staff, without exception were all amazing too. Great breakfasts provided daily were lovely, buffet as well as breakfasts cooked to order. Everything was faultless. We will most definitely return, thank you! A perfect start to our trip."

Boardwalk Lodge – Self-Catering ★★★★

"Set against the backdrop of the Garden Route with its lush greenery and the ever-present blue ocean, this lodge offers fresh interiors with perfect vistas. Our en-suite hotel room was luxurious, romantic and spacious with a lovely deck. All the linen and towels were of a high quality. Excellent amenities. Outstanding hospitality. The accommodation exceeded all our expectations. Ideal for a romantic breakaway."

Inn2Wilderness Guesthouse ★★★

The Old Trading Post ★★★★

"I stayed at The Nest for 4 nights and just loved every minute of it - what a treat. Set above and behind the Old Post House in its own little hidden-away spot - so peaceful and surrounded by greenery with a balcony overlooking the Vlei. Loved the rustic but super comfortable set-up of The Nest. It is a home away from home. Would absolutely stay here again."
