Wildekrans Country House is a “No Smoking” zone and we encourage smoking guests to smoke in the garden or on the stoeps. The Wildekrans garden includes a swimming pool with stunning vistas of the Houw Hoek Mountains. The garden leads to a river across which a footbridge leads you to the mountain paths for leisurely walks and hiking. Mountain Biking trails can be found on the neighbouring lands.

For winter visits bring warm clothes and relax round one of the log fires after a beautiful mountain hike. In summer be sure to bring swim and sunning gear for long days around the swimming pool. All facilities include braai facilities and “braai packs” are available on request.

The Wildekrans Country House family make their own wines and olive oil. We encourage visitors to try these garagiste wines which are available for purchase at the guest house. An abundance of food and wines and adventure can be enjoyed on the Green Mountain Eco Route.
