Unfortunately we were only 2 days at JD and Gerald. The two are super nice and very courteous. The house and rooms are beautifully and lovingly established. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. It was all perfect. Here to spend a dream holiday. Stayed in April 2013

I wouldn't be so enthusiastic... The rooms are huge and comfortable, but this is a modern house with a view on the car park and on the road which is actually between the house and the lake. Not the paradise promised by the internet site, actually. It lacks some real soul! OK breakfast, but not so nice as in many... More

Lovely B&B. JD and Gerald are great hosts, attentive and helpful and do everything they can to help you enjoy your stay. Breakfast was very good, food well cooked and everything we wanted, loved the home baked muffins. The view over the lagoon is great, even when the sun isn't shining! We really enjoyed staying here.

JD and Gerald showed genuine care and concern even before we arrived. They had to ensure that we arrived safely and that all was in order for our Honeymoon. My wife and I had a great time staying at Wilderness Manor and the personalized service we received was just extraordinary (it was actually a last-minute booking). Starting from the room... More

The proprietors of this guest house, JD and Gerald, worked as cabin crew for South African Airways and they treat their guests as though you were flying first class. Everything about their accommodation and care of their guests can only be described as excellent. Travelling along the Garden Route this was by far the best place we stayed in. The... More

Spending time at the Wilderness Manor a few weeks ago was absolutely delightful, with two charming and knowledgeable hosts - Gerald and JD – who gave us a wonderful welcome and showed us around their beautiful manor. Our room, overlooking the lagoon, consisted of a lounge area, which was cosy and comfortable and tastefully decorated. Our Hosts gave us all... More

From arrival to departure the whole experience was without doubt as good as you would expect from a five star hotel, but better, because of the friendly atmosphere and attention provided by JD and Gerald. Our room overlooked the lake and was in itself impressive. The breakfasts were superb. The Reception Rooms were a delight festooned with all their objet... More

Owners Gerald and J.D bring a touch of class to the wilderness with their immaculate guest house overlooking the lagoon. Both are very knowledgable about the area and are only too happy to share the hidden treasures one must explore in the area. What we thought was a sleepy little town, had a charm and character to it like no... More

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left after six days, we were made to feel extremely welcome and special by Gerald and J. D. Our room was large with a small sitting area . Both were very comfortable and clean. We had a lovely view of the lagoon from our balcony. The guest house is superbly located... More
