The Ocean View Guest House

We loved our stay at this guest house - we had the penthouse apartment, which has panoramic views of the sea, along with its own pool. Unfortunately the weather was a little overcast, but it was amazing to be right on the beach and to wake up to the sounds of the sea in the morning.

The location is great, direct access to the beach and the accommodation is really stylish and gives a great first impression. We did enjoy our stay, however, I feel a bit more attention to detail would be good regarding the room. I expected a brighter, slightly larger space. I am sure some of the other rooms are better. Breakfast was good, but having stayed in many other hotels on our trip in South Africa, I think the breakfast offering could be slightly enhanced. We really appreciated Jay's help on arrival with our bags and also during our stay and he gave us some good tips on some additional stops on our Garden Route.

We know Wilderness well, it s one of my fav places! This guest house is located right on the beach with direct access. The rooms are small and adequate but have the most annoying light switches in the world!!! The wardrobe is really hard to open without breaking your nails and the TV stops the door opening properly! But it has access to a terrace next to the pool which is nice! We had plenty of towels and hot water during our stay. Breakfast was very nice especially when it didn't coincide with loadshedding. The views from breakfast are spectacular. The manager, Alex, was surely and uncommunicative. No one helped us with our bags when we left despite 2 long flights of stairs, and my husband has a heart problem. Alex never really spoke to us our entire 4 day stay! Never gave any help or advice of where to eat or go..in SA we are used to the managers being so helpful that his attitude really marred our stay. It's a stunning location and the property is nice. I imagine the higher rooms are better, making use of the view. I was very disappointed with our room but we did have lovely weather!

Alex and Yana are the worlds best hosts. They always try and make my say here as pleasant as possible. My room had the most beautiful view of the ocean and I felt like a queen staying in this guest house. I can recommend this place to anyone with a smile.

Location perfect and house magnificent. Room was excellent with great views of the beach, very clean and great linen; bathroom was also excellent. Beach superb and breakfast looking over the beach was amazing. All staff were excellent, but have to make a special mention to Yana. She was the perfect host, always available and gave great recommendations for trips and especially restaurants. If in Wilderness again, would not stay anywhere else.
