180 degree Luxury - Wilderness
Beautiful place with the best views and all amenities. Location is great in close proximity to everything. Perfect place for a getaway!

Cozy 1 bedroom Beachside Suite in Wilderness
I stayed the night when I was travelling to Cape Town. Shantal was very accommodating and promptly helped me inside and showed me the basics of the unit. Suzi the dog was also very friendly and chilled out, enjoyed greeting her whenever I left/came back to my room. I had some car trouble on my way, and Shantal recommended a fantastic mechanic who sorted my problem in no time. Couldn’t recommend more and will definitely be staying again on future trips!

Sky Light Apt 4
What a beautiful lady! What a beautiful place! Stunning finished ( may not be to everyone’s pallet but it was perfect for me!) and just the quiet was loud at first but only because I am from JHB and all I know is noise… but she was so kind to me and totally understood and helped me settle beautifully in the silence.✨✨✨ Love love love this place! I’ll try come through in summer when the weather is more accommodating for outdoor activities but to be honest all I wanted was to be in peace and quiet and I got exactly that!❤️❤️ Thank you Yvonne💐 Really appreciate your hospitality ❤️✨

Deluxe Seaview Self-catering Unit
Thank you for a lovely stay! We really enjoyed it and you will see us again!

Sand Cabin: Nima Lodge
We had a fantastic stay at Nima Lodge. The view is absolutely stunning – even more impressive than in the pictures. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, peaceful, and spotlessly clean. We loved how it blends into nature while still feeling modern and comfortable. You can really switch off and unwind here. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway – we would definitely come back!

180° Sea View | King Bed | Fireplace | Fast WiFi
Our stay at Matilda & Dean’s stunning home in Wilderness was absolutely unforgettable. The 180-degree sea views are simply breathtaking—pictures don’t do it justice! Every detail in the home was on point, from the cozy fireplace in the lounge to the thoughtful addition of heaters in each bedroom, which made the entire space warm and inviting despite the winter chill. The property is not only beautiful but incredibly comfortable, and you can tell that every effort has been made to ensure guests feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better winter getaway. Highly recommended!

Tranquility at Its Finest - Kaaimans Luxury Villa
I have no words to describe Sandro’s house! It is a unique place and I can’t believe how lucky we were to find it and spend a couple of days there! It’s a magical place surrounded by nature with everything you will ever need for an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend it and wish to come back some other time in my life.
