Family-friendly holiday rentals in Wilderness

An absolute gem of a spot, over looking the sea on a quiet private road. Absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Everything provided including beach toys for the kids and board and card games. There is also so much to do in the area even when the weather was not perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our evenings in the hot tub stargazing. Thanks so much!

Livingstone Villa is tucked up the hill directly above the village of Wilderness. It offers fantastic ocean views from multiple terraces and is a quick walk to restaurants, shops and a grocery store. The villa is tastefully furnished with a luxurious primary suite. We did not use the other bedrooms, but the floorplan is a great setup for 2 couples or a group of friends. The kitchen is well equipped, and we enjoyed many meals there. We even used the indoor BBQ grill. Highly recommended, I would not hesitate to book again.

Great deal, did the job!

This wooden house with its large balcony, tucked away in the bush creates a lovely feeling of seclusion in Ballots Bay. The house has everything that you need, is full of character, and conjures up feelings of nostalgia with its decor and remnants of previous family holidays. We enjoyed the walk to the private beach (though some people might prefer to drive) and some of the pristine hikes marked in the welcome guide. The jacuzzi was fantastic on chilly nights! Lovely spot for escaping the rush without going far.

I can't wait to return. The serene farm stay was perfect for a family break from the city's hustle and bustle. There was a sprawling lawn for the kids to enjoy themselves, and the crate of bats/balls, etc., was put to good use. It is eye-opening to see what the city kids are missing. The hike to the river was amazing, and not once did the kids have a chance to even think of saying they were tired, as nature kept them guessing around every corner. Linda was amazing from the initial communication post-booking until after checkout. Genuine farm hospitality!

Cindy's place is great, with a wonderful outdoor entertainment and pool area. The kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms comfortable. Cindy was quick to reply to any queries or requests for assistance. Thanks Cindy!

Thesen Island is a great place to stay…..safe , secure and within easy reach of local amenities. Lianne was an excellent host, always on hand to answer any questions and help make our stay most enjoyable. Highly recommended.

My family really enjoyed our stay. The home was comfortable, great for entertaining. The location is perfect and +- 150 m walk to Sanctuary Beach The complex is quiet. Really a great holiday in a lovely holiday home.

Maria made us feel right at home. The place is incredible, and the furniture is equally impressive. We mostly followed the recommendations they gave us. The house is situated in a very safe area, just a 5-minute walk from a restaurant and a coffee shop. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away. It’s the perfect place to stay with a baby. We used the barbecue and beach chairs. Knysna is an ideal break on the Garden Route. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

The apartment was spotless and a great location to explore plett from. The bed was incredibly comfortable and had fantastic linens. We had a lovely time here and even walked to the beach to enjoy the lovely weather! Would definitely stay here again.

Anton was a very responsive and accommodating host. The place is tucked away in nature which means lots of serene sounds, peace and quietness. The place is decked out with all the basic cooking stuff, guides and books to really disconnect from our city lives. Only challenge was getting our small rental car over the driveway to the cabin. Highly recommended

We had a shot stay, we wish we could have stayed for more days.

Our stay at this beautiful property was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was not only comfortable but also exceeded our expectations in terms of ambiance—it was truly breathtaking. Kim was an exceptional host; she welcomed us warmly and took the time to give us a full tour of the house, which made us feel right at home from the very beginning. We had a truly memorable experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway. Thank you, Kim, for your hospitality!

Spacious family home in a residential and quiet neigbourhood. We had a great stay and communication was easy.

We loved everything, the house is equipped with everything you need, our stay coincided with my birthday, there is a restaurant on the waterfront where we were able to get oysters and champagne. At night the house offers a very beautiful view of the mountains and the coastline and of course the starry sky. Julia was very kind and it was a pleasure to talk to her. Definitely recommend for an unusual experience.

What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful family home with everything you need for a holiday. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We loved our stay

We had a wonderful time in our private log cabin. Everything was just as described and we felt right at home. We will definitely return.

A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

Lovely flat that’s much bigger than expected so perfect for families. We stayed with our 7 month old and a cot and high chair were provided which was super helpful!

Location was perfection! A stone throw away from the high street and few minutes to the beach with stunning bay views from her deck. Bibi is an attentive host that made our stay so great! This was a home away from home with abundance of things one tends to forget about when on vacation. Thank you so much for your hospitality

We spent 4 nights as a family of 4. The property is exquisite and has all the luxury amenities. The views are breathtaking! The house is massive but feels cosy and homely. The hosts are friendly, helpful and accommodating. I’ve now found my new favourite place to stay in Knysna!

The apartment has a fantastic central location and was exactly as we expected. It was very clear that the place was cleaned thoroughly and it was well furnished. Heathers communication was efficient and prompt. We will definitely stay there again

We enjoyed our stay, beautiful home that makes you feel its a home away from home. There's nothing you lack of...everything you needed was supplied.
