Our village will welcome you with a drink at our social bar, a vibrant ambience where we set the tone with live music and a generous yet finely curated plate of food. With the best spot in the Garden Route, we are ready to show you what Wilderness has to offer right on our doorstep.

    The vibe is so relaxed and beautiful. The food was delicious. We had hamburger, pizzas and the thai duck and chicken salad was to die for. The service was excellent and so friendly and helpful. And off course qualified for a 20% of the bill because one of us was a "wise above 60 pensioner". Don't miss this little gem. See you soon again.

    We’ve eaten twice in the 3 nights here at the Wilderness, as the menu selection, quality, service and price was outstanding! We highly recommend this restaurant and can’t thank you enough for those 2 outstanding meals. Regards, Iain and Kirstin from the UK and SA!

    Spare ribs were tough. Calamari half portion was good. We were never asked how we enjoyed the meal.
