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!

    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.

    The lagoon and beach are easily accessible by foot. The is a good variety of reasonably priced restaurants providing good quality meals. Did appreciate knowing that there is a medical facility in town. Amazing opportunity for paragliding. Close to a number of beautiful championship quality golf courses. Enjoy exploring surrounding beaches and hiking.

    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.

    We had a great stay here, it was our first night in a hotel after a few days camping on safari. We got upgraded to a bigger suite which was excellent, two balconies and a huge, comfortable bed. The shower and bath were great. The property organised a restaurant booking and a taxi for us which was really helpful. We were also given route recommendations and maps for our journey back to Cape Town which was really appreciated. We only wish we'd had longer to explore Wilderness.

    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.

    Absolutely fantastic stay! From arrival to departure, the highlight of our South Africa tour. Incredibly child-friendly with warm hosts. The rooms and lounge areas are modern and new. Perfectly situated by the beach, offering breathtaking views from our bed and private veranda. The breakfast surpassed that of many 5-star hotels. Highly recommend MGM Wilderness—stay a few nights to savor the guest house, the beach, and Wilderness itself.

    Lovely location..In walking distance of lagoon, beach, supermarket, market and restaurants. Breakfasts were delicious and great value. Helpful and friendly staff. We infmd staff about noisy children running through the hallways and banging doors until late at night and the manager on duty did not hesitate to move us to a much quieter part of the hotel immediately. We appreciated this very very much.

    The Alice in Wilderness style rabbit 🐇 room with chandeliers and an infinity mirror room that makes you want to examine from deep within a good bottle of South 🇿🇦 African 🍷 wine. The close walks to the beach. The great restaraunts. (Minus girlrs on the square. They were terrible) What a lively stay. Nothing was for want, and the host was superb.
