We stayed here for two nights having driven from Cape Town. We pre booked on recommendation from TA and have to say the guest house surpassed expectation. Brigitte made us very welcome and gave good info on the local area. Our room was lovely, with a vaulted thatch roof and was generally well appointed. The service was impeccable and the... More

Ideal to spend a few days after a long trip trough South Africa. You can do many nice Excursions around the place for families or even couples. Johann is a great manager of the hotel and he helps to fullfill all your possible wishes. More

We stayed here for 2 nights and could have stayed longer. The room was lovely with its African theme and we had a nice balcony. The service was first class as was the breakfast,we sat out in the courtyard if it was nice and under the verander if not. The restaurants and the lovely beach were only a short stroll... More

We choose Wilderness for its location on the Garden Route so we could use it as a central base for a couple of days - Palms Wilderness is located in lush gardens but had the convenience of the village & beach just a couple of minutes walk away. The guest house operates on a Bed & Breakfast basis but we... More

Palms is a lovely place to stay. All the rooms are set around lovely courtyard gardens. Its right in the centre of the village (which is really small) so the restaurants are only a couple of minutes walk away. We loved this as we'd had to rely on the car so much everywhere else. The beach is also a short... More

The manager was charming, and the rooms very comfortable, though a bit dark inside. This hotel no longer has a restaurant, whatever your guide book says, unfortunately, but there is a decent Italian restaurant not far away. However, it's not a big town so not a lot of choice. More

Stayed here one night on our Garden Route trip. The owners were lovely and breakfast very good too. The rooms are little thatched cottages which was a bit different, but made them a little dark inside. Well-equipped and comfortable rooms (including insect repellants and a decanter of port) but the downside was that ours smelt rather damp and musty. There's... More

We spent three great nights here at the start of the garden route and the decor was outstanding with more than a hint of Africa in the design. The room was outstandingly good and spacious and full of character - we absolutely loved it. Breakfasts were amazingly good and they were never quite the same each morning. There were lovely... More

This is a must if you are making a trip along the Garden Route. We have never experienced such a fine balance between luxurious service and private independence. The hosts, Vicky and Wayne are accomplished, kind and fun. We ahev a great deal more to say about Palms but we are compelled to leave this first post as we leave... More

We arrived 11 months late due to the ash cloud debacle of last year but boy was it worth the wait. On arrival Johann and Candice welcomed us and gave us our four rooms. We had the waxbill (named after birds), aka room 2. Right beside the beautiful plunge pool and surrounded by lush trees and plants. It was a... More
