Garden Route hotel rooms a the Independent

"A gorgeous property with exceptional service. We wish we could have stayed for more than one night!"

"Gondwana offers a fantastic experience for anyone looking for a short Safari within the confines of a private game concession. There is a diverse array of animals to view in amongst beautiful scenery despite being close to Mossel Bay. Our accommodation went way beyond our expectations - a huge 3 bedroom lodge all to ourselves. We loved the 15+ minute self drive to get there! The food at Gondwana is nothing like you get on a typical safari - it’s more like a 5* hotel experience with so much choice (take aways available!). In summary we had an excellent experience "

"Lovely ocean view room. Spacious and clean. Staff fabulous. Bar and restaurant food great. Cannot think of anything wrong other than the tv was small and controls were dodgy. "

"We had a fantastic time at Pezula Nature Retreat. The staff were exceptional! The sevice was top notch! We plan to come back as we gad a fantastic experience!"

"Thank you for excellent stay!!!"

"This is one of our favorite half-way stops on our way down to Cape Town. Wildernis is a quant little town with world-class restaurants and The Wildernis Hotel is such a great place to stay. Lovely pool, padel, tennis and mini-golf facilities. Excellent breakfasts! And very, very friendly staff."

"Our stay was very good!"

"Amazing hotel, 5 big stars. Everything was perfect we couldn’t have asked for anything more, lovely friendly staff. Lovely restaurants nearby, safe to walk to. Excellent, thank you."

"The pictures online do not show the overall shabby condition of the property. The property has not been updated in a long time and it shows. Window latches broken, poor quality curtains that do not block out the bright outside lights at night. The ceiling paint in the bathroom was pealing and the net curtains ere dirty. Paint splashes on the doorknob and a broken curtain tie in the corner on the floor. All round just not the quality type of property I would ever stay in. And the photos are a little misleading. The pool is nice, but that is about it."
