DESCRIPTION:
Wilderness Manor is a stylish 5 star Waterfront Guesthouse situated on the beautiful Wilderness Lagoon within walking distance of beaches and village restaurants. Up-market, luxury accommodation with personal, but discreet, service.
Halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth on the internationally famous Garden Route, and situated between mountains and glorious beaches, you will find one of South Africa's most sought-after destinations, the seaside village of Wilderness. Wilderness is only 20 kilometers from the well-served airport of George, gateway to the Garden Route. Nature at its best, an eco-tourist's paradise! With its spellbinding beauty and blissful peace it is a most sought-after destination in South Africa in all seasons.
Idyllically situated between mountains and beaches, with a chain of tranquil lakes locked in between, Wilderness has a unique beauty. It is the only village in South Africa, that, together with the lakes, surrounding forests and 28 kilometers of coastline, is protected within a 2612-hectares National Park.
The Guest House
Wilderness Manor is an elegant and refined colonial Guest House situated in Water Side Road on the banks of the lush Wilderness lagoon in the heart of the scenic village of Wilderness. The Guest House is within easy walking distance of glorious beaches, restaurants and village shops.

Guests find Wilderness Manor a tranquil base from which to explore the idyllic surroundings of the lakes area and Garden Route towns like Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo. A three or four night stay is ideal.
