"Very nice accommodation although a bit expensive for what you get. Was warmly welcomed, although not shown around the room so didn't know there was a bar fridge in the room which I felt could have been better stocked. Some of the windows couldn't close properly so I felt a bit nervous leaving my bags in the room while I was out in the evening. There are dogs on the property so this might not be the place for you if you are not okay with dogs, as they are quite boisterous and inquisitive when you first arrive. Breakfast was okay although their fruit/cereal table was very sparse. The large bed was very comfortable and had a huge mozzie net. Also a lovely deep and very large tub for soaking as well as a shower. Coffee/tea facilities in the room is always welcome if you feel like a late night cup of tea or need to wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee so I was very happy they offered that. Pretty garden with lovely view of the lagoon opposite. "

"What a beautiful spot to spend a night. Relaxing and tranquil. The hostess is delightful. Will be back. Value for money."

All in all a terrific experience! Kevin, Cape Town."

We where camping the day before and all our equipment rained wet so we had to set out everything at the Waterside Lodge. They where so helpful about everything. You also have to have the breakfast it is amazing and they have the best feather duvet, wish I could live there forever.

PS.

There is a restaurant close by called Cocomo :)

We were greeted very friendly and Nora was always there to give advice and information . The room was clean well with a nice LOOK- Review Room. The breakfast was very lovingly prepared ."

"This was a very nice B&B with a very friendly and welcoming owner. Our room was great, and we enjoyed being within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. I would love to stay there again!"

"The owner is very kind. She received us, e.g., with a welcome drink and gave us two rooms for the choice. Besides, she recommended us for the dinner several great bars in Wilderness.

"The owner is very kind. She received us, e.g., with a welcome drink and gave us two rooms for the choice. Besides, she recommended us for the dinner several great bars in Wilderness. With the breakfast she served to us to all only a really tasty and, besides, still fantastically looking fruit plate. Afterwards she prepared for us various eggs. She stayed during our breakfast very discreetly in her kitchen, so that we are relaxing completely alone very much and completely of pleasure could eat.

All in all, this lodging is a top address for a stopover on the guard route. We come again with pleasure!!"

"We had a 2 night stay at Waterside Lodge during the Knysna Oyster Festival. The hospitality that we received from Michael was superb! We stayed in the Sunbird Room (Honeymoon Suite) and need to say that we were very impressed with the room and dŽcor. We had a lovely view of the garden and lagoon from our balcony. Each morning we had a magnificent breakfast with fruit followed by a full English Breakfast. A choice of cerealÕs, yogurt, cheese and fruit juices Ð perfect to get you ready for your day.. Michael assisted us with dinner suggestions and places to visit, nothing was too much trouble! We will definitely stay there again and highly recommend this establishment."

"Had an awesome stay! Hosts were friendly and the room was clean. Felt very welcomed. Breakfast was great too!
Will definitely consider staying there again, highly recommended."

"Very relaxing and comfortable stay. Hosts were very friendly and offered great advice on where to go. Cannot thank them enough for recommending the Half-Collared Kingfisher trail, we had an amazing time and saw some beautiful birds!
The B&B is an easy walk from town, where there are several restaurants, so eating out is simple. The beach isn't much further and a boardwalk running along the near edge of the lagoon starts practically opposite the front gate.
Breakfast was lovely with a good selection of food. Slept very well in the room - we stayed in the Loerie suite - and generally had a great time. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back ourselves one day!"

"The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was served and it was good. It is a nice location and I would certainly like to go back."

"What a pleasure to stay as a guest. Will be back soon."

"We booked 3 rooms for a 1 night stay. We were welcomed with a very generous and lovely glass of wine. The rooms were clean and well equipped. Our hostess was very friendly and welcoming, as were the two lovely border collies. We will definitely book in next time we are in Wilderness."

"I found reception very pleasant and the rooms clean and fresh and it was obvious to me that Noragh paid attention to detail and had I spent more time there I am sure I would have been even more impressed. Would not hesitate to recommend. Very likely to make use of it again."

Bert was extremely helpful about letting us leave our trailer in his garage, and Nora served us a very nice breakfast. We would happily return to stay there again."

"Flexible hostess, allowing for breakfast at leisure and a late checkout. It would have been nice to have a dustbin in the kitchenette area."

"A nice, comfortable place with polite host and clean accommodation.

Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean and well appointed with stunning views. All our delicious breakfasts were at a time of our choosing, and prepared with care, creativity and attention to detail. Our hosts also provided for us a very much appreciated and excellent laundry service. We would recommend Waterside most highly - our hosts were warm and welcoming, and we shared a number of pleasant conversations admiring the birdlife in their lovely garden. This B&B offers outstanding value and we will be back! "

The owner really ensured that we had the best possible experience. They gave us a warm welcome and stayed out with us for drinks well into the night. It is a great base if you are visiting the Garden Route. Don't forget to play with their lovely lab "Bill". Would definitely recommend this to couples and family."

"Large room, nice garden and a lovely breakfast. Thank you!"

It was comfortable and luxurious and the service was superb, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Also the owners organised for a beauty therapist to come to our room and we enjoyed full body massages in the comfort of our own suite - Fantastic! (and affordable)"

"We enjoyed very much staying at the lodge - the view across the lagoon onto the ocean is outstanding. When visiting Wilderness - a reservation in the Serendipity restaurant (recommended by the Waterside Lodge owners) is a must!"

"The guesthouse and location was excellent. One comment to make was one of the windows could not be shut in our room, apart from that there were no problems. "

"We stayed here for three nights in February 2008. It was a trip down memory lane for me, visiting old haunts from a lifetime away, 1974/5. Kobus remembered why we had come, and welcomed us warmly. He, Michael and Juanita treated us royally. Very comfortable accommodation, wonderful food and the Japanese art of origami was applied to the towels and bed cover, a wonder to behold. We had such a happy stay and many thanks to all."

"The accommodation is in a great location with lots to do very close by.
The room we stayed in was very well finished with a lot of attention to detail.
A very nice breakfast was offered.
Our Hosts were excellent

This is the place to stay in Wilderness!

The host, Kobus, was too good to be true, the hospitality was as good as it gets and dog and cat provided an amusing sideshow. We'll be back.

"The Waterside Lodge was a lovely little spot in Wilderness. The owners went out of their way to make us comfortable and provide us with all the information and tips we needed to make the most of the town, and were welcoming, generous and kind. They also cook a wonderful breakfast spread! "

"This guesthouse is superbly situated with the lagoon and delightful boardwalk just outside. From this boardwalk we were collected by boat to travel up river to a riverside restaurant which was such a memorable experience.

The hosts gave us an informative introduction to the area and helped us with all reservations. The breakfast room overlooks the blooming garden and lagoon and was a perfect start to each day. Our Sunbird room was beautiful, just sitting on the deck watching the birds was great. It was furnished to high standards, very spacious and well designed .

A great place to stay, the hosts will do everything to ensure you get the most out of the area. Many thanks"
