"Definitely old world charm which suits the old Dutch home, combined with superb hospitality from Fran the Manager of the guesthouse made this a perfect short getaway. The apartment was fully equipped, lovely sea views from the lounge and entertainment area which overlooks the beach, a big plus is the direct access to the beach. A firm favourite!"

"Our little family of three had a really nice time at Far Niente! Fran, the owner, is a very warm and friendly person, who let us stay in the big apartment, and we didn‘t even book it! We loved the perfect location directly on the beach.

If we should ever come back to ZA, we‘ll be coming back to Wilderness!"

"Amazing place to enjoy wilderness! Perfect! "

"You could give us toilet paper"

"A real home away from home with the most spectacular view!! Everything about the house was perfect. The hosts, Abby & Glenda made us feel very welcome. We highly recommend Far Niente and will definitely be back."

"what a great experience. very relaxing and beautifull!"

"We loved every moment of our visit. The house is lovely; very elegantly furnished, but still child-friendly. And the location is spectacular. I will recommend this house to anybody."

"We had a wonderful, relaxing rest, at Far Niente. It is in the perfect location, right on the beach, with the most amazing view. The house is spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped for a holiday house. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed."

"Clean & Comfortable, Far Niente Guesthouse was relaxing after a long day on the road. The apartments are spacious & well equipped. It was wonderful to wake up to the fabulous view of Wilderness Beach. We would very much like to stay there again!"

"This was our first time at Far Niente, but it is safe to say that it won't be our last. You can not ask for a better located place, all you see from your unit is the ocean and all you hear is the sound of the sea a few meters away. Abby and Glenda are fantastic hosts and really treated us well. If y..."

"Wat n prentjie mooi plek. Die kamer was pragtig en die mense was so vriendlik. Ek sal beslis weer daar gaan bly. Die see uitsig van die kamer was ongelooflik. Alles was so lekker en mooi. Nogmaals baie dankie.

What a beautiful place. The room was beautiful and the people were so friendly. I will definitely stay there again. The sea view of the room was incredible. Everything was so nice and beautiful. Once again thank you."

"We were almost overwhelmed when we walked into our room and saw the beautiful view! It looks even better than the pictures on the website. We were looking for a romantic hide-away and this exceeded our wildest dreams. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome without being intrusive, like the beach towels that magically appeared on the veranda. We really appreciate the fact that they moved another guest around so that we could stay on for an extra day. We will definitely be back!"

"I had a wonderful stay. The place is clean and the kitchen is well equipped. It was very cold when we were there, but had no problem with heating, because there was a heater in the apartment and the children also had no problem playing indoors."

"We had a lovely stay at the Beachfront, the guest house is so well situated, the location couldn’t have been more perfect, set right on the beach literally footsteps away. The rooms and the entire place is so lovely and so comfortable, we felt at home. Thanks for an amazing stay."

"We stayed for three nights in April with our three children ages 5, 7, and 9. Wish we could have stayed longer. House right on beach so children can play while adults at house.

"We stayed for three nights in April with our three children ages 5, 7, and 9. Wish we could have stayed longer. House right on beach so children can play while adults at house. Beach great for beach games, morning runs. House very well equipped, beds and linens very comfortable. We enjoyed the antique family furniture and pictures. Loved the old board games available. Braai and stoop were fantastic. Can walk to the small village from house. Really the greatest house to stay in wilderness, very accessible to everything."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week here, especially being right on the beach. Accommodation was comfortable even though we only had the one bedroom unit. So pleasant to sit on the stoep (doorstep) for meals, watching the world go by. Lovely to see the school of dolphins."

"Far Niente was absolutely wonderful. Location perfect, accommodation first class, and more than all that the hosts, Abbie and Glenda were so kind and welcoming.

Will most definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much.

"We had a tremendous stay and would certainly recommend it and would like to visit again as well."

"Far-niente was wonderfully relaxing accommodation. Well appointed and in a great position. The views are magnificent and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying there. Perfect for a small family. "

"We were very well received. Very neat and tidy. Excellent view of beach and ocean. Very friendly hosts. Secure parking and accommodation. Reasonably priced. Property is well maintained. Will definitely return."

"I had a lovely stay. I would recommend it to others and revisit when I need peace and quiet again."

"Verskoon tog dat ek in Afrikaans skryf, maar ek kan myself net beter uitdruk in Afrikaans.

Ons het ses maande gelede besluit dat ons graag 'n plekkie by die see wou hê vir ons vakansie in die tuinroete in maart. Het op Google gesoek vir selfsorg vakansie huise tussen Wildernis en Mosselbaai. Het op Far Niente afgekom - en besef maar dis die huis by Leentjiesklip in Wildernis. Ons het 15 jaar in George gebly en in 2005 weer terug getrek Gauteng toe. Al drie ons kinders het groot geword op Leentjiesklip se strand, dit was altyd ons gunsteling strand. Het altyd die huis gesien van die strand af. Far Niente het absoluut voldoen aan al ons vereistes, ons het heerlik ontspan en gerus. Die huis is baie gerieflik en absoluut als is daar, ons het tuis gevoel. Baie van ons vriende het alreeds navraag gedoen by ons oor Far Niente en ons sal dit defnitief weer gebruik in die toekoms.

Excuse me that I write in Afrikaans, but I can express myself better only in Afrikaans.

We decided six months ago that we would like a place by the beach for out garden route visit in March. Went on Google search for self-catering holiday homes between Mossel Bay and Wilderness. Found Far Niente - and realized but it's home to Leentjiesklip in Wilderness. We have lived 15 years in George and in 2005 moved back to Gauteng. All three of our children grew up on Leentjiesklip beach, it was always our favorite beach. Always saw the house from the beach. Far Niente absolutely met all of our requirements, we also relaxed and rested. The house is very comfortable and absolutely everything was there, we felt at home. Many of our friends have already inquired with us about Far Niente and we will definitely use again in the future.

"Our stay in Far Niente was perfect. The house is located right on the beach and has all the commodities mentioned on the website. I would say even more - we weren't expecting such a lovely place. The terrace with sunbeds with ocean view and the possibility to pick fresh mussels was unforgettable. I would recommend the house to anyone who wants to chill out in a beautiful ambiance. The house has huge kitchen, very well equipped, two bedrooms with bathrooms and very big living room. There are some good books too in case you forgot to grab the book from home. The hosts and the owners are very nice and helpful too. It's a quiet surrounding, so if you're here to party, that's not the place. But if you just want to relax, enjoy truly beautiful views - that's it."

"We had a wonderful time at this establishment.Beautiful view and it's close to the beach which was great.Had a very pleasant stay.
Thank you"

"A wonderful place to stay! Situated by the beach with direct access via lawn to the 10 km Beach of Wilderness... is there something to add? A great thatch roof house with historical roots and a very hospitable couple, as our hosts.

"A wonderful place to stay! Situated by the beach with direct access via lawn to the 10 km Beach of Wilderness... is there something to add? A great thatch roof house with historical roots and a very hospitable couple, as our hosts.
The furnishing in the kitchen is kind of averagely and some things in the bedroom seem like antiquities. Taken as a whole it´s a comfortable ambience.
The sound of the sea will ease you falling asleep at night.
If we return to RSA, we will visit "Far Niente" again.

"Far Niente is an excellent place to stay, the view and close proximity to the beach is stunning, the hosts welcoming but above all it is superb value for money. We were a couple staying with two single friends (who flew into conveniently nearby George airport) there was plenty of space for us to share a room in a sectioned off part of the house and our friends still to have their own en-suite rooms and privacy too. Going to sleep to the sound of the sea makes for a relaxing holiday destination, we will definitely be going back, I would highly recommend it."
