My wife & I were very impressed with our bed & buffet breakfast during our 3 night stay in Moondance. Our one suggestion would be to install a heated towel rail in the bathroom for the cooler nights experienced at the present time. Manager Tim must be given 5 stars as nothing was too much for him to handle -... More

We went back. Service was excellent. Place is spotless. Love having my own private space. We stayed in Tree Tops and the cottage and last stay in the Boat House. Each room is unique. Lovely caring atmosphere, concern for your needs. Staff extremely polite. Will go back again.

My husband and I were desperate for a little piece of heaven - and that's exactly what we found! Quiet, charming, elegant - Moontide hit all of these notes and then added on luxurious and friendly on top of it! By the time we left we were already trying to figure out when we could go again. A truly incredible... More

We were recommended this place by our guest house in Swellendam. And what a treat. My wife and I could only spend one night here as we were on the way to our game lodge. We heard so many things about Maureen, but unfortunately she was not there. Still I think this is exactly the level of privacy and fun... More

My husband and I spent 5 nights at Moontide in the Moondance room. First off, we were in awe of the gorgeous setting of the guest house, in easy walking distance of the beach. Staying there was literally a home-from-home, where you are treated as a special friend. Our room was massive, there was a mini bar, oil-fin heater, a... More

Maureen is a gem. And the place is magical. WIth so many places to choose from in Wilderness this is one of the best. Ask them about dinner options. Nice place in town called The Girls. We liked Moontide a lot and will return. Thanks to all the staff for a great time/.

We stayed for 2 nights at Moontide over a rather miserable weekend for the point of view of weather. Friendly and helpful staff there and the lovely rooms and setting helped us to nevertheless have a pleasant time. It is well worth a visit!

We stayed here for two nights and found Tim's hospitalty and the rooms excellent. The guesthouse is located right on the banks of the lagoon, it makes for an incredibly peaceful setting. It's quirky, impecably decorated, and well located. The breakfasts are top quality and very substantial. We stayed in the tree house room for the first night which has... More
