Booked this Hotel at very short Notice, only stayed one night. The Hotel location is convenient and the views are amazing. We had a sea facing room, with a sliding door to the ocean. Room was neat, clean and functional- not very modern. Wi-Fi wasn’t great, but worked most of the time. On the down side, seems that They have not adapted to the COVID challenges too well. The reception was not great, communication with person at the front desk was a challenge. Breakfast was included in rate, but we had to leave before they served Breakfast: breakfast was only at 9am. We had a really long ride and due to curfew, couldn’t wait. No alternative meal (or plan) was offered- we had a long drive and kind of relied on the Breakfast. Honestly feel that the Facility is great, sadly service not as good.

Had a lovely stay at Wilderness Beach Hotel. Although the hotel is a bit dated, the rooms are efficiently cleaned on a daily basis. Johan and Sandra, the Hotel managers and their dedicated staff has done well to turn this hotel experience around compared to previous reports. The hotel may have some limitations in internet accessibilty and other modern facilities but the friendly accomadating staff and management did they best to ensure an enjoyable memorable stay. The breakfast may be basic but is adequately sustaining for a late lunch.

Our stay at The Wilderness Beach Hotel was not as good as I have expected it to be. The hotel is perfectly located and has the perfect scenery, but the service was average. The guy at Reception was not very helpful and not very friendly. The room we were in was neglected - shower didn't work and the bedding on the one bed was dirty. The breakfast we had was definitely not the best out there. A Wimpy breakfast would have been better. Will not go back to this hotel for a holiday.

Excellent location and friendly management and staff made our stay very memorable.
Furniture and facilities are dated but rooms are kept clean and comfortable. The hotel manager is hands-on and he and his team did their best to accommodate all our needs.
With some investment in new decor, wifi and other entertainment for kids, this hotel, with its central location in the Garden Route, will attract families and business travelers from across South Africa and the world.

Room Tip: Best views are at the far end of the hotel - if you don't mind the long walk to your room.

Location was amazing. If you enjoy great sunsets then you won't be disappointed. Hotel is located on top of a hill. Rooms need a modern touch though but it will suffice. Service for food from Johan (GM) was excellent. Kitchen was fully halaal which made it very convenient for myself ito meal planning. The hotel leads to a large stretch of sea shore which was perfect for the early morning runs and evening picnic with the wife and kids. Bring your laptop and and mini wifi for your evening entertainment before bedtime as the dstv does not have a great selection and wifi only works in the hotel foyer. The chocolate muffins for breakfast are as good as the sunsets

I think it’s only fair to warn those looking at the website to see the truth of what this hotel is all about . Yes it’s cheap , but there’s a very good reason why . This place is in desperate need of repair . Fixtures not good , walls have water damage , little things like no tea spoons to stir the coffee you just made , no fridge to store the milk you had to buy . The plumbing echoing every time someone flushes or empties their bath . No light next to the bed , we were the only hotel without a working generator so when the lights went out , so did we . They could of warned us but they didn’t ( obviously ) . I will not be coming back here as there are so many much better options in wilderness .

Cannot recommend this hotel
Website said cocktails on beach.
Once I paid reception informed hotel is halal. Surely this should have been disclosed. I canceled my stay. GM assured me refund would be processed next day. Then 15 jan
And now they say sometime in Feb
Hotel is poorly maintained. Carpets are dirty ect
Clearly a dodgy place
Stay away

Misrepresentation of note!!! What you see on the website and what you will get are not the same. The staff are willing to help but the hotel is beyond run down and so 1980s! We were so beyond disappointed. Other than the location and a great view very little good there. Please try somewhere else. The owners need to do better!!!

Spent 5 days @ Wilderness Beach Hotel. Excellent location - very good base to explore the South Cape and Garden Route.
Breakfast is basic but sufficient variety for the hotel pricing. Hotel maintenance has improved compared to previous visits.

If travelling along the Garden Route and wanting a peaceful place to stay, this hotel is good. We enjoyed a relaxing day at the pool and visits to the SPA, which was great in the middle of a high-tempo round trip. The location next to a very long and incredibly beautiful beach is breathtaking. However, swimming can be fairly dangerous because of the currents. Better to swim in the pool but enjoy the sun on the beach.
Food was average. No spectacular food, but ok. One person had the purse stolen at breakfast (pick-pocketer), but was also a bit uncareful of where putting the bag.
Great service from the staff. We were the only ones there during the day, and were serviced with lunch and wine by the pool.
