We were looking for a place in Wilderness to stay as a base to see the surrounding area as well as Knysna. We had to search a while to find a place that would sleep three. When I inquired the gracious hosts replied that the only rooms available were on the ground floor and we would have to get both... More

This Guest house is situated right on the cliffs overlooking Wilderness beach so the views are fantastic. If possible, try and get the suite with the sea view at the top as it has a good sized balcony and lovely bathroom. The breakfast was great, especially as the sun was shining so we had it on the balcony. The owners... More

Overlooking the sea with no other properties in-between. A superb beach with miles of fine white sand in both directions. Our room had a separate entrance and a deck with a west-facing view over the sea and ideal for sunset! Highly recommended.

We stayed two nights in this B&B in Wilderness. Location is great, right on the cliffs overlooking the beach and the sea. It's a very large house, with big common rooms and even a small gym. All is clean and spacious. Rooms all have sea view, either from a balcony or a terrace. Free coffee and tea, and an honesty-bar... More

The decor of the rooms is elegant and tasteful, the furnishings are very comfortable and the location simply spectacular. Do not miss the sunset from the upstairs verandah. The property is very well complemented by it's parsonable hosts. Be sure to take Renato's dining suggestions which gave us one of our best culinary experiences amongst many notable ones in South...

We found by chance and were delighted with our luck. Not only Swiss-run but Italian Swiss-run. Hey that;s unusual. We had great room, great hospitality, and great breakfast on the patio. Internet use and Library was a bonus. Wonderful view over the beach - dolpins went past on cue. This B&B deserves to be high in the Wilderness rankings. Wished... More

Go for the deluxe suite if it's available, but you can't go wrong with a view from any of the rooms. Breakfast is delightful and hearty and a great chance to meet more guests. Renato & Corine do a great job of looking after your every need (including running to town to pick up our laundry when they gave us... More
