Dit was vinnig, maar ek het lekker gebly.

Lekker sentraal en naby George en strande.

Perfect location!

Nice rooms in the center of Wilderness just above a good Italian restaurant. Close to other excellent restaurants and Coffee Roastery for a good tea with a cake or a breakfast with crusty croissants.

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your honest reply. I prefer guests to know that this is nota quiet area and therefore I advise on our site that should anyone prefer a more quiet place to search for accommodation outside Village. We find that this is ideal for younger guests that want to explore the area and surroundings and also do not want to interact with owners and management every day.
We trust you could go around - as much as possible, under the current situation. Hope to see you again on another stopover.
Regards,
Magda

Lekker atmosfeer.

Groot kamers, netjies, diens goed, as jy egter groot op stilte is en vroeg wil gaan slaap, kan dit nogal lawaaierig wees veral oor die feesseisoen. Die kos is uitstekend en daar heers 'n lekker trendy vibe in die restaurant onder.

Nice atmosphere.

Big rooms, neat, good service, if however you like things quiet and would like to go to bed early, it could be a bit noisy, especially over the holiday season. The food is excellent and there is a nice and trendy vibe in the restaurant below.

Sandra, baie dankie vir die eerlike terugvoering, ek waardeer dit. Pomodoro restaurant is die besigste in Wildernis en daarom wys ons graag die gaste vooraf daarop dat ons reg bo Pomodoro geleë is. Die Desember/Januarie vakansie is ons besigste tyd en sal nooit rustig of stil wees in die Village nie. Ons hoop dat jul ten minste 'n middag slapie kon inpas.

Baie goeie diens, veral in die restaurant. Verblyf baie netjies en skoon.

Lodge ligging puik, diens baie goed, net kamer se ligging is reg bokant restaurant en op hoofstraat se hoek wat geraas te weeg bring maar ook by gesê net tot so 22h00 saans. Sal weer hier tuis wil gaan in die toekoms.

Very good service, especially in the restaurant. Accommodation very neat and clean.

Lodge location great, service very good, only the room's location is right above a restaurant and on the corner of the main street which causes noise but also said only until about 22h00 at night. Will want to stay here again in the future.

Gerieflik naby alles.

Baie gerieflik geleë met goeie geriewe. Kan dalk net so bietjie aandag gee aan parkering, maar ek glo dit kom met tyd.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, ek waardeer dit. Die geallokeeerde parkering bly 'n probleem met ander motoriste wat die tekens verontagsaam en parkering is skaars in Wildernis. Voorstelle word altyd waardeer, twee koppe is beter as een!

Gesellige oornagplek.

Goeie waarde vir geld in die hart van die Wildernis. Ek het veral gehou van die feit dat daar deurkodes is, wat die beslommernis met sleutels wegneem. Die personeel in die restaurant onder was besonder vriendelik en baie bedagsaam. WiFi was nie in my kamer beskikbaar nie, wat jammer is. Die badkamers het 'n bietjie vernuwing nodig.

Cozy place to stay.

Good value for money in the heart of the Wilderness. I especially liked the fact that there are door codes, which takes the hassle out of keys. The staff in the restaurant downstairs were particularly friendly and very considerate. WiFi was not available in my room, which is a shame. The bathrooms need some updating.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Ek het die versoek met betrekking to badkamers aan die eienaar deurgegee en vertrou dat daar werk gemaak sal word van. Wat betref die Wi-Fi, normaalweg van dit wel in die kamers op en ek sal nie kan verduidelik wat hier fout gegaan het nie maar ons sal wel dit laat nagaan. Baie dankie vir u tyd hieraan spandeer.

Ons het by die Ou Poskantoor oornag en die kamer was skoon en netjies met alles wat ons nodig gehad het vir die aand. Die ontbyt by Pomodoras die volgende oggend was net so lekker gewees.

Bo 'n restaurant en in die middel van Wildernis. NEE!

Die geriewe voel of dit in 'n harwar aanmekaar geflans is. Die restaurant is reg onder die lodge en dit sorg vir 'n redelike lawaai. Nie vanuit die restaurant nie, maar die straat se verkeer en voetgangers is lawaaierig. Jammer om te sê, maar dit was moeite om met die staf te kommunikeer. Jy as gas voel ook asof jy inbreuk maak op hul tyd. So al asof hul jou iets skuld. Die plek sal my nie weer sien nie.

Above a restaurant and in the middle of Wilderness. NO!

The amenities feel like they were cobbled together in a harwar. The restaurant is right below the lodge and it makes for quite a bit of noise. Not from the restaurant, but the street traffic and pedestrians are noisy. Sorry to say but it was a struggle to communicate with the staff. You as a guest also feel as if you are encroaching on their time. As if they owe you something. The place will not see me again.

Ek is baie jammer dat u nie die verblyf by ons geniet het nie. Dit is wel in die middel van Wildernis Village bo 'n besige restaurant - in die hartklop van al die gebeure en dit voel meer soos 'n plekkie oorsee met al die beweging en lewe maar almal kom normaalweg tot rus na tien in die aand. Wat die staf aanbetref - ek sal dit met hul opneem, indien u wel besluit om 'n volgende keer oor te bly - my telefoonnommer is oral aangetoon indien u iets benodig. Aangesien ons nie 4-ster akkommodasie is nie, het ons nie 'n voltydse ontvangs nie, maar die bestuurder van ons restaurant onder is meer as bevoeg om gaste behulpsaam te wees.
Al die plekke nader aan die see, of dieper in weg van die Village sal stil en rustig wees.
