This is a great guest lodge overlooking a lovely beach. Rooms are clean, bright and well equipped. The lounge area is spacious and comfortable and there is a charming courtyard. Gary and his wife are affable hosts and happy to stop for a chat or suggest local restaurants. Breakfast is excellent with both cold and cooked options. The fruit platter... More

On our road trip, we stumbled across this wonderful, stylish house warm with his hosts. Beautiful room, thinking about everything, Direct overlooking a wide beach, direct access, in the morning swimming in the sea, then a 5 star breakfast, art in the lobby, hanging out with drink and wifi ... The rooms are quiet and large .... The outspoken host... More

Booked us in to recommended restaurants that were excellent and lot of other good suggestions for things to do during our stay. Great breakfast too - excellent pancakes and... More

Having decided on the spur of the moment to book a weekend away in Wilderness, my husband and I weren't sure what to expect from The Dunes or from Wilderness itself, but we were blown away by both. What a lovely guest house and the hospitality we received there was excellent. It's in the perfect position to walk along the... More

I'm a very fussy customer Superb location, superb premises, superb service. Really nice to have the propietor actually fronting the house, checking you in, cooking breakfast and being an available point of contact.

"Could our stay even be better then last times?" was the question on our mind. Well it was! We had a more than excellent time with Gary but also with the other guest during breakfast. We are memorizing great hospitality, humor and the oceanview. Then we have not even started discussing the breakfast itself. We loved it, fresh fruits, pancakes... More

We had a great time here on our recent trip along the Garden Route. As others have said, the location of this guest house is amazing. It is literally on the beach and with fantastic panoramic views of the sea. Because it is on the dune, and not accessible directly from the main road, the beach you walk down to... More

The setting is spectacular; perched on the dune running the length of the beach, from your comfortable sun lounger you can see miles of wild beach and dolphins surfing. In a word, this guest house is very cool. You'll receive the kind of attention to detail you'd expect from a boutique hotel, yet the prices are very reasonable. We really... More

We stayed for two nights and had one of the best stays of our great SA holiday. Gary is a great host in this quiet lodge. We enjoyed the magnificent breakfasts and had two rooms on ground floor level above the beach. Impeccably clean, this place is somewhere we have got to go back to. Wilderness itself has a great...
