This is a beautiful resort in nature with lovely views of the Touw River. We booked a ground floor unit overlooking the river. The room is spacious and modern. The food at the restaurant were great especially the lamb curry. Included in our booking was a basic buffet breakfast which were more than enough. We were there in April so the weather was not great for swimming. It is a family friendly resort - you can make use of the canoes at the swimming pool.
Featuring free WiFi, an outdoor pool and a barbecue, Cinnamon Boutique Guest House offers accommodation at the foot of the Outinqua Mountain Valley in Wilderness.

Lovely view from the communal living room. Also loved the huge bathroom. And the complimentary basket of fruit was most appreciated. The breakfast was absolutely five star.

The room was very clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable, and the room had a lovely balcony. I had supper there one evening at Pomodoro's and it was excellent food.
Tucked away at the end of a private road and right on the lagoon's edge, this 4-star lodge is a private paradise in the charming village of Wilderness.

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.
A comfortable, spacious apartment overlooking the Indian Ocean. Peaceful, rural location in the hills above Wilderness town.. Kitchen is well equipped. Gas water heater and gas stove, so you can still shower and cook during load shedding. Comfortable bed with plenty of blankets during winter. WIFI worked well. Appreciated having Netflix for movies in the evening. The host, Darryl, is very friendly and helpful. He clearly loves where he lives and had lots of great suggestions for hikes/walks in the area.. Recommended.
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.
This home on the beach is splendid! My wife and I booked a weekend there, and loved the cozy atmosphere, and natural wonder just outside our door. If you're looking for a place to enjoy the beach with your family, this is it.
Everything you may need was provided in the home, and our host Nora was the most lovely, interesting person.
Being encapsulated in nature but also a stones throw away from wilderness centre , the two top rooms were beautiful and comfortable with great views of the Indian ocean and dunes. great having the entire place to yourself with all the facilities and conveniences of a home but with the luxury touches of a hotel.
The Resort is perfect for kids
The facilities available are perfect for a great holiday which we absolutely loved, we never had to leave the hotel unless we really needed too.
The staff was great! Loved Maggie at Breakfast she was amazing, friendly helpful and very professional.
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.
We have no words to describe how happy we were for 2 nights at this marvelous hotel. It is a home with the highest hotel standards you could imagine. Elsabe (the owner) made every moment our stay comfortable and pleasurable.
The restaurant is the best in SA.
On the beach, kitchen is good, showers and bathroom good, wifi works well in dorm room. Dorm room is amazing- open view of ocean. Super chill and welcoming vibe . Love it 😍. I returned there 2x so it’s definitely the best place in Wilderness to stay!
Amazing property with large luxurious rooms.
Safe shaded parking.
Nice pool with a beautiful view over the lake.
Very friendly owners that serve a great breakfast.
Awesome location to discover Wilderness, Knysna or George.
Nice square in Wilderness. Hotel is actually located above a good restaurant. Room was the most spacious I had in 3 weeks SA. Excellent bathroom with rainshower. Huge balcony, very safe environment to walk around.
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.
the room was perfect, it felt like we were on the beach and in the middle of the forest at the same time.
The jacuzzi bath was perfect.
Stuff was amazing and breakfast was delicious!
The location is more or less 1/2 way between Sedgefield and Wilderness which allows you access to either. It is also far enough away from the freeway to be quiet and restful.
Loved the location. Walking distance into wilderness village. As well as direct access into the river right across the road.
Also loved that they were pet friendly.
Best value for money. We love the location of the hotel. Breakfast was great and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We love the view over the river.
Wonderful place to stay in Wilderness. Very clean, safe and comfortable. The host was very Kind and helpful Thank you Mr Gerrit and glad to be your guest.
