    We received a warm welcome from Glenda. Her apartment/suite was superbly appointed, with a glorious view across the common where one could see the ocean beyond. The bed was comfortable, bathroom spacious and kitchen well appointed. I particularly enjoyed the Nespresso machine. Highly recommended, and we shall definitely stay here again.

    A great apartment with an easy walk to the large beaches and village of Wilderness

    The apartment was just perfect, a great size with a very large comfortable bed and lovely views over the ocean and park opposite. We were met by our friendly host, Glenda who was very helpful with ideas of things to do and see in Wilderness. The highlights were the lounge, great to relax in with a breeze with the windows open, comfortable bed and great sized bathroom with a very handy heated towel rail to dry things on, very useful when travelling around. It was so close to the village and large beach for walks with a short stroll to a great restaurant called Ilia, a lovely Italian with very friendly staff, then for the next day, a short drive to the fabulous Salinas, where we ate on the top terrace right on the beach at sunset, although to be honest, the apartment was easily large enough to stay in and self cater. The apartment was very well situated for the short drive to the hiking trails on the river and also for Vic Bay both of which we visited over our short stay. Great to have beach towels, a beach umbrella and cool box ( although we weren't there long enough to use them ), it was super clean, with a great well equipped kitchenette, with all you needed to self cater. Parking was very easy and safe right outside the apartment, Definitely would recommend, it ticked all the boxes for a great stay in Wilderness, thank you!

    A warm and friendly welcome. The apartment is perfectly situated in Wilderness within walking distance to good restaurants and shop. Enough of a kitchen and a Weber grill to prepare simple meals. Very clean and comfortable.

    The apartment in the Wilderness was a very nice surprise - bigger than expected with stylish decor and a panoramic view of Wilderness beach. The rate we paid per night was very reasonable taking into account that it was top of high season. The host was friendly and helpful. we will definitely stay there again .

    I didn't like the sofa. It wasn't comfortable

    We could see the ocean from the balcony. The suite was clean and tidy, and the kitchen was well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was large with a bathtub and was good for relaxing at night with a glass of wine after a walk. You can quickly reach the beach for a walk or a swim. There is a good market near you. Finally, our host was the friendliest, kindest, and nicest person I have ever met. Thank you, Glenda.

    A lovely modern apartment in a central location.

    Nothing. A few extras like a roll of paper towel and gladwrap would have been nice, but otherwise the apartment is well stocked with basics and serviced daily during the week.

    This is a lovely modern apartment with a pretty view in a very central location. Everything worked perfectly and due to the solar, loadshedding was not a problem. It is perfect for a shortish stay of up to about a week in Wilderness, where everything is in walking distance. For a longer stay a washing machine and more cupboard space would be useful. Glenda was friendly and helpful and she responded quickly when we contacted her.

    Thanks to Glenda, for the lovely stay and loved the personal touches of the welcoming, recommendations and the helpfulness throughout our stay!! We ended up doing a beach day on day 1 (beach towels, chairs and umbrella was provided on request), with breakfast and dinner at the Girls, and lunch at Salinas. Day 2 brunch at Ilali, a walk around the town and down the walking trails, with dinner at Pomodoro. They were also kind enough to provide a couple of plug adapters from the UK, which was much appreciated! Would love to come stay here again!
