The Wilderness Hotel

Good service, the staff was helpful when my safe was malfunctioning, they sent a maintenance person during night hours to fix it!

Great value, impeccable service, wonderful staff and very comfortable beds. Our room was basic but we never needed anything extra. It was clean and we felt safe the entire time we stayed there. The food was delicious, too. I would definitely return.

The hotel need a bit of revamp more especially the reception area, the passage and aircon(s) in the rooms is very old need to replaced.

I want to add that I nearly left the hotel feeling very despondent until Tracy Mokhali walked into me and asked how I am enjoying my stay.... it was at this moment that I felt her warm embrace, literally as if she wanted to hug me as I told her about my stay / experience! She very quickly and professionally sorted this all out by speaking to / and calling the manager to have a chat with me. Tracy was prepared to give up her very own room to make my stay better! I swear I would've left the hotel, very unhappy and would've shared my views until I had encountered her. Today I saw her and told her how she made my stay so easy and comfortable for both my daughter and I. I even called my hubby last night to let him know how accommodating Tracy and Roelof were. My family and I will definitely be back, all because of them. Roelof, the manager made me feel quite special too. I know that the hotel is quite busy but he took time out of his crazy schedule to have a chat with me. Holidays are enjoyable and checking in at hotels are usually easy and guests tend to be happy, more so when the receptionist joins in on the smiles and "holiday vibes" - I did however feel the receptionist to be quite abrupt - even the way she spoke to the Rugby boys / other guests..... Again, I re-iterate the way Tracy made my daughter and I feel, was really special! THANK YOU, TRACY AND ROELOF! Stay Blessed! Kelly

A rambling hotel well situated for visiting the Garden Route. Restaurants, shops and beach in easy walking distance. Friendly staff and a very good breakfast is available. However, there were problems. In 4 days we only managed one hot shower. Seems to be a problem there as other guests we spoke to experienced same problem. There also seems to be a chair problem as well. The one in our room had a nail sticking out whilst the one on the balcony was split down the middle-2 dangerous chairs!

The experience was fantastic. A BIG thank you to your lady at Reception called TAMMY she goes the extra mile and more re customer service) The HOTEL owners should invest in Employees like TAMMY. The Restaurant is beautiful and the Food Excellent value for money! We will definitely be returning!!

The hotel seriously needs some maintenance. Broken doors and windows. Dirty Spa pool. No porter to carry bags all the way to the back. Olivia at reception was great at check out. Could have been warned about the Telkom/Open Serve conference when we booked.

Beautiful retreat The staff of the Hotel was friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room had everything we needed, and the view of the commonage and the river was a bonus. The pool area was relaxing and so convenient not having to walk far for a swim as it was very hot. The breakfast was a bit disappointing it lacked attention and the waffles were already made, cold, and somewhat burned, but on the flip side, the eggs were made to order and super delicious. The shop in the foyer of the hotel was simply stunning, could not help myself and had to buy some stunning clothing items at very reasonable prices. A very enjoyable stay.

Avoid if possible. Needs investment also staff training. A positive is that it’s a good location and has a pleasant pool
