A beautiful stretch of coastline, witnessing rolling breakers and dramatic skies, Wilderness is distinguishable by its long stretches of white sand, estuaries, and sheltered lagoons. The beaches, though excellent for scenic coastal strolls, have a powerful rip-tide, and swimming is not advised. But with Victoria Bay to the west and Wilderness National Park to the east, there is plenty of pristine natural habitat to be explored. Our recommendations will show you the best places to stay in Wilderness, from boutique to historic, in this rugged coastal town.
Unsurprisingly, all this has made Wilderness a favourite escape amongst Capetonian weekenders and tourists traversing The Garden Route. Fortunately, it retains a sense of quiet solitude. Holiday homes are not obtrusive in number, and there remains a delightful sense of community, with plenty of bijoux shops and cafés, where everyone seems to know each other - a testament to its thriving homely feel!
Whatever the season, our collection of the best places to stay in Wilderness showcase the finest hotels along this stretch of The Garden Route. But just remember to book well ahead, it's a popular spot!
