    Rooms getting a little tired/grubby around the edges, probably a result of being the end of the season and noting a little attention would remedy pretty quickly. When I say grubby I mean a few marks around the paintwork, chipped furniture not to be confused with cleanliness which was absolutely fine. Perhaps a bit of a trim of the foliage would have made the view even more spectacular?

    Beautiful views, close to town but made extra special by Melissa who was a fabulous host!!

    The breakfast could have more variety. It is quite simple but definetely enough to start your day.

    The view was stunning, wether it was from the pool, our room or the breakfast area. We even saw dolphins while having breakfast. Our room was just perfect from the furniture to decarations. You really feel how much love went into this place.

    The room / apartment was beautiful. We were only there one night but we wish we had stayed longer, there was an amazing BBQ area and balcony that we were not able to make use of. The cot bed was also perfect for our baby. The view and location was also spectacular. The hosts were lovely and went out of their way to help us and make us feel at home.

    There‘s a stove but apparently you‘re not expected to use it - tried to turn it on for half an hour and thought it was off due to loadshedding until we texted the host and found out there was a switch to turn on the stove‘s power hidden behind a painting. Toilet didn‘t always flush well, needed a bang against the side of the cistern until it worked properly. Travelling as friends, we would‘ve wished for a bigger bed and the bathroom door really afforded no privacy - this could be mitigated because of the spacious layout, though.

    The room with its patio and…communal area?!…were simply amazing! Fantastic views over Wilderness and its beach and very spacious. Room has electricity even during loadshedding - very important. Location is great, walk to the beach was via some roads and past a petrol station, but short. Wilderness area itself has tons to offer.

    Really awesome experience.  The room was stunning overlooking both the ocean and the wilderness lake with everything we needed to make our stay extra comfy. The owners are very pleasant and were fully committed to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They are also knowledgeable of available amenities in the area and more than willing to make any arrangements and bookings on our behalf. Great breakfast offered in house as well. We were able to safely walk to most of what Wilderness has to offer with a little bit of challenge to our fitness with all the hilly terrain. Looking forward to returning.
