“Excellent value - the restaurant is also very good.”
Great location in the village. Might be a bit of noise but not enough to be a nuisance.

“A perfect stay.”
Lovely accommodation in the centre of Wilderness, and excellent value for money. I stayed with my father, each of us in a balcony room. It felt like being in a little European village hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the beds were especially comfortable. Occasional bit of noise from the street, but this comes with the excellent central location. Despite being above a restaurant, we were not bothered at all by noise from below. We were able to park our car at the hotel and walk to restaurants, the shops, and the beach. The restaurant downstairs is fantastic (truly no need to go anywhere else), and they serve a range of well-priced, delicious breakfasts from 7:30 am. After a morning out, I spent the afternoon on the shady balcony, watching the world go by, enjoying the iced water provided, and some snacks from the shop across the road. Blissful. We will definitely be back!
