Wilderness Manor

Beautiful home away from home. JD and Gerald are the most gracious hosts and nothing is too much for them. They know how to make you feel welcome and at home and special. Decor beautiful and rooms spacious and well equipped with high quality body creams, etc. Luxury without the stifness

Absolutely brilliant location, easy to find just off the N2, with a beautiful view across the lagoon. Gerald and JD run a spotless clean, brilliantly furnished establishment. They couldn't be any more welcoming or helpful, so that you can make the most of your stay in Wilderness. By the time we left, it felf like we were saying goodbye to good friends. Highly recommended.

This luxurious property; honestly the best we've experienced in SA, has the most amazing hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Daily turndown service is wonderful to return to after an crazy day of activity and lazy night in the village. 100% recommend to anyone visiting. Amazing views and photo opportunities, even from your bedroom!

Absolutely stunning guesthouse, where a lot of thought went into every little detail. Great breakfasts. The establishment is owner managed and JD and Gerald are the perfect hosts and gentlemen

We had an awesome stay at the Wilderness Manor. Everything was perfect. Spacious room, neat and clean and an excellent view. Very quiet and a nice place to rest. Breakfast was lovely and freshly made every morning. We will see you again soon! :)Wynand & Mariska Botha

A beautiful, quaint place run by 2 beautiful souls - Gerald & JD. Never been to a more peaceful place. Can hear the ducks swimming at the lake in front. Both the hosts are really warm and friendly and will guide you to plan your days here. Had the best breakfast here, made with such zeal and warmth. Much better than most of the hotels.

Gerald and JD are brilliant hosts. It was an absolute pleasure staying with them. Thank you!

Gerald and JD are excellent hosts—welcoming, helpful, gracious and friendly. They made our first stay in Wilderness enjoyable with their tips on where to eat and on activities to try.The guest house is opposite the lagoon, and within walking distance of all amenities, including the beach. The sunset from their balcony was spectacular.The room and bathroom are spacious, have everything you need as a home away from home"

Hosts Gerald and JD pay exquisite attention to ensuring your stay in Wilderness is memorable. The accommodation is beautifully furnished and impeccably clean. 3 of the rooms have beautiful views over the lagoon. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the restaurants in Wilderness.

Our stay at Wilderness Manor was wonderful and I give the experience 5 stars. From the moment we arrived, JD was at the door to welcome and greet us upon arrival with a smile! We immediately felt at home.Wilderness Manor is located on the mountain side facing the Wilderness Lagoon. 15-20 minutes walk from Wilderness Village center, past the common and Kingfisher trail.The service is impeccable, Gerald and JD could not do enough for us to make us feel more welcome and valued as guests. They are both completely knowledgeable about the area and gave us wonderful recommendations on how to spend our time, either dining or sightseeing. The room was luxurious and incredibly comfortable, a true 5 star rating. Breakfast was scrumptious with JD and Gerald on hand to cater to any dietary requirements or preferences. Wilderness Manor is elegant, tasteful tranquil and a truly magical experience for adults wanting a refined, classy and classic experience. South Africa experiences power outages everyday due to load-shedding, and the area does face water shortages. Check with Wilderness Manor how this may impact your expectations. We cannot recommend Wilderness Manor more highly. We arrived as guests, and left as friends. Thank you Gerald and JD for making our 3 days a truly magical time. All the best, Ari and Tracy.
