Wilderness is a charming holiday village. With its long golden beaches, vast waterways and lush native forests, it is a nature lover's paradise. Located 15 km east of George, nestled between the Outeniqua Mountains and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the Wilderness is an ideal base from which to explore the world-famous Garden Route.
Already at the end of the 19th century the reputation of Wilderness was established as an ideal destination for holidays by the sea. In an old homestead, a guest house was set up by the sea - and so began the tradition of hospitality.
The WINTER CLIMATE is only 10 ° C. The annual rainfall is about 700 mm, which means that winters are warm and sunny in summer. The mild weather creates an outdoor lifestyle that draws locals and visitors to the long sandy beaches throughout the year.
Wide choice of restaurants, craft stalls, shops and art galleries to explore. Stroll through the serene forest, where huge yellowwood trees rise in the direction of the skyline, follow Bushbuck and Duiker on quiet forest trails or pay attention to the glowing purple as Knysna Lourie starts from his resting place. Recommended by Kingfisher Walk and Brown Collar Walk.
The wilderness not only overlooks the sea, but also the tranquil Touw River Estuary, the serpentine meandering between the Touw River, Island Lake and Rondevlei. This is a favorite for water skiing and attracts enthusiasts from near and far.
