Wilderness Hotels

The crashing waves of the beach and rippling surfaces of nearby lakes and lagoons are perfect spots to engage in an array of water-sports from skiing and Surfing to fishing and canoeing. Wilderness is also a popular place to go hang-gliding and paragliding. Lift off the escarpment; get a bird’s-eye view of town, and gliding to the beach below. The Map of Africa viewpoint overlooks a river snaking its way through dense woodland, carving out a patch of land reminiscent of the African continent.

A number of excellent mountain-bike and Hiking trails as well as abseiling routes are also in the area. The neighbouring village of Sedgefield hosts a weekly Wild Oats Market selling good food, interesting crafts, and local produce. Wilderness’ convenient location and range of accommodation options allow for easy exploration of the surrounding Garden Route. Plus: it’s an ideal stopover when travelling between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
