Wilderness Manor

Wilderness Manor is an elegant and refined Colonial guest house overlooking the beautiful Wilderness Lagoon, in the scenic village of Wilderness.

Step out of the front door and onto the boardwalk across the road, for an easy and safe stroll along the lagoon to golden beaches, restaurants and village shops.

DESCRIPTION

Almost halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth on the internationally renowned Garden Route and situated between mountains and golden beaches, you will find one of South Africa's most sought-after destinations, the seaside village of Wilderness. Wilderness is only 25 kilometres from the well-served George Airport, 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 18 kilometres of coastline, is protected within a 2612-hectares National Park.

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