Having stayed recently at the Wilderness Beach Hotel, I have noticed the consistent decline in maintenance and service levels of this hotel. I have stayed on numerous occasions and still remember the hotel from its former Holiday-Inn days before African Sky Hotels bought the property. The hotel appears to be in desperate need of refurbishment. In fact, it doesn’t look... more

This hotel was selected for my wife and I by a tour company as accommodation during their Garden Route Tour. The hotel foyer smelled rather like the foyer of a public swimming pool and the corridor to the bedroom that we were allocated had damp, musty smell. Although allocated a non-smoking room it was clear that it did not always... more

In search of accommodation in Wilderness, we came across this hotel and read all the bad reviews. Therefore we decided not to stay there. But all other hotels/guesthouses were fully booked or not available for the whole duration we wanted to stay. In the end we still booked the Wilderness Beach Hotel and went there with no expectations. But what... more

The Garden Route is truly worth spending a few long days. If you are considering checking into to this place have a look at the sky first. We had the best room (444) top floor with a double corner aspect over the stretch of sand and rollers. When it rained though, water poured throught the light fittings in the corridors,... more

The only thing going for this hotel is its location. Set above a long sandy beach, accessed by a long flight of wooden steps, this hotel is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of South Africa. However, it appears to be geared up for the mass market - coach tours rather than motorists - and hotel staff have no... more

I agree to some extent with Jonnyredpants, although this is listed as a 3 star hotel in Trailfinders brochure/website. I think this place suffers primarily due to the numerous fantastic accommodation options throughout the Western Cape. We had a suite here (basically 2 rooms knocked together) with wonderful views of the beach. The hotel is dated and the service and... more

I am have just got back from 2 fantastic weeks in South Africa and this hotel was the worst place we stayed. We booked our holiday through trailfinders UK and every place we stayed was rated 4 star. The Wilderness beach hotel should be a 2 star hotel. The hotel is just off the N2 about 4km from the wilderness... more

Throughout our stay in South Africa, we stayed in wonderful places, but this wasn't one of them. They put us in smoking rooms with children, then couldn't give us connecting rooms, the french window lock was broken, with the window opening onto the gardens, and the food was very ordinary indeed. The location is simply amazing, right on the cliff... more

If travelling along the Garden Route and wanting a peaceful place to stay, this hotel is good. We enjoyed a relaxing day at the pool and visits to the SPA, which was great in the middle of a high-tempo round trip. The location next to a very long and incredibly beautiful beach is breathtaking. However, swimming can be fairly dangerous... more
