Andy,s Holiday Flat
A great place to enjoy the area of Wildernes. Good value for money and Andy and Barbie is great hosts. The place is be beautifully furnished and full of personal touches. I can recommend Andy's place.

Palm Terrace Apartment at Hilltop Getaway
Great retreat for the whole family. Harald is a great host and the local produce in the area is fantastic.

Garden Suite, beautifully appointed, self catering
Very nice and cozy little place although we have missed a microwave in the kitchen. As it is winter it was quite cold because of the beautiful high roof. I will suggest a gas heater or fireplace in the living room area

Charming Banana Bungalow in Wilderness-Village
Rita was so welcoming and friendly. The accommodation was so beautiful I wish we could have stayed longer.

Treehouse Cottage
What a beautiful stay. Sally & Margaret were great! The treehouse is actually a hidden gem. The estate is out of the way of the crowds but close enough to everything. The treehouse has all the amenities you could need, it is spacious, furniture is comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and the whole place was clean! I would 100% go back and wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for being such gracious and accommodating hosts!

Sunny self catering garden flat :)
Elizabeth was friendly and helpful. She provided several provisions including fruit, juice, and milk. We had a lovely stay!

Refurbished! The Garden Spa Cottage.
Nice little spot, we had absolutely no issues during our 2 night stay and would stay there again without hesitation

Robberg 2 Cottage
Nice place to stay at Plettenberg Bay! Unfortunately, we had bad weather but Hank tried to make our stay better with many recommendations for coffee places, restaurants and markets - something that can't be taken for granted. I guess with good weather the garden is quite a relaxing place, but we didn't had the chance to try it. The appartment has all the necessary amenities and is well equipped.

Kindred Spirit Lagoon Suite
Sherlee took wonderful care of my parents! Great place to stay with great views. Family oriented sub unit home so it’s always good to be mindful of that but would definitely visit again! Thanks Sherlee ❤️🌻

Island Lake Villa and Bungalow
A lovely place for a relaxing break away. The accommodation was great and had everything we needed. The views over the lake were wonderful especially as the sun set. Close enough to town and amenities, but away from the hustle and traffic nosies. The sounds of the beautiful bird life surrounding us was magical. Highly recommended 👌 Gordon was an amazingly host. We will definitely be back.

The Studio~Clifftop Escape in Nature.
Beautiful, cozy and awesome hosts. Will definitely recommend 🫶🏼. Had everything we needed and it was a lovely stay in nature 🌅

Stunning 2 bedroom unit with secret garden
Great place, lovely host.

Beautiful apartment with stunning view of lagoon
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay near the Lagoon at Knysna. The pool was relaxing. It is a quiet & peaceful location. A couple days we walked on Upper Duthie road & took in the neighborhood views. One day we drove nearby to the Jetty / dock & walked the path beside the lagoon.

Unrivalled estuary views at the Black Barn
This was an absolutely amazing and beautiful stay! Our group loved the view, amenities, and how clean the space was! The game room is awesome and the hosts were amazing and extremely friendly/responsive. It was conveniently located within a few minutes of stores and restaurants. We would definitely recommend staying here!

The Perfect Plettenberg Stay
We had a wonderful stay at Lyn’s place! The apartment was incredibly tastefully decorated — every detail was thoughtfully chosen and made us feel right at home. Lyn was an outstanding host, always helpful and caring, and we truly appreciated her kindness. It was also great to have access to laundry facilities during our stay, which made things so much easier. The location is perfect too, with the Robberg Nature Reserve just around the corner. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

4-star, breathtaking lagoon views, no loadshedding
The most serene place ever. My husband and I were so stoked to be leaving. We enjoyed the peace, the beautiful views, the accommodation that felt like home, the list can go on. The staff were so friendly. Everything was perfect!

Knysna Heads Private Suite
The location is an absolute dream. It’s peaceful, and the private pool has its own charm. I would come back here in a heartbeat. The accommodation is an absolute hidden gem.

Cozy 1 bedroom Beachside Suite in Wilderness
I stayed the night when I was travelling to Cape Town. Shantal was very accommodating and promptly helped me inside and showed me the basics of the unit. Suzi the dog was also very friendly and chilled out, enjoyed greeting her whenever I left/came back to my room. I had some car trouble on my way, and Shantal recommended a fantastic mechanic who sorted my problem in no time. Couldn’t recommend more and will definitely be staying again on future trips!

OFF GRID Beat the Blues
I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Beat The Blues. Pieter and Karin’s hospitality was outstanding - I really appreciated that they’d left me milk, rusks, coffee etc as well as some toiletries. I felt really cared for! The room was spotless and very comfortable. It’s in a beautiful, quiet location close to local amenities. Communication was Karin was excellent - I knew exactly where to go and check in was easy. This is a great value stay and I’ll definitely be back when passing through George. Thanks!

Loerie's Perch - On Knysna Lagoon
Elaine’s place was just what we needed for the week! She is also a lovely host and we can really recommend staying there. It was just perfect for us.

Strandmeer Apt, Short-stay, Keurbooms River, Plett
An Unforgettable Stay – Truly 5 Stars in Every Way! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Lindsey’s place is something truly special. Every detail — and I mean every detail — has been thought through with care, elegance, and heart. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully styled, and incredibly well-equipped with everything you could possibly need (and lots of things you didn’t even realise you’d want until you saw them!). Lindsey and her husband are warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive — the perfect hosts. Their thoughtful touches made us feel not just comfortable, but genuinely cared for. From luxurious linens and high-end amenities to local tips and personal instructions, the experience was seamless and filled with joy. If you’re lucky enough to book a stay here, prepare to be spoiled. It’s not just accommodation — it’s an experience. Thank you, Lindsey, for making our visit unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Sunny cottage ft mountain trails
The space is great! They are very welcoming with their children's playground!

Baharini
Dream location! It was such a pleasure to wake up and go for a beach walk and swim each morning. The house is ideally located — just a 10-minute walk to town via the bridge and directly on the beach. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely, welcoming feel. We felt completely at ease. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a huge plus, especially for a group stay. At night, the heaters and warm blankets kept us cozy and comfortable. It was a truly lovely weekend, and we’ll definitely be back. We absolutely love the Wilderness!
