We loved our stay at this stunning, modern guesthouse with fabulous views on the beach from every corner in the house. The interior decoration is wonderful, great rooms with direct access to balconies or the swimming pool. Excellent breakfast and very friendly host and staff. Just forget about Wilderness itself (pretty dull) and enjoy the beachfront and Ocean View.

Ocean View is a fabulous contemporary guest house located right on the beach with breathtaking views of the sea. First impressions are of a brilliantly designed, spacious, light building with unusual artwork and luxurious furnishings.  I'll  never forget walking into the building - the view of sea sound of the waves were magical. The beach was fairly deserted and remained... More

Whilst I cannot argue that the position and style (getting a bit dated in places) is excellent, I would say that the customer services side of things need looked after. We arrived at 14.00 to find that no electricity would be on until 21.00 that night, having confirm the reservation with a credit card we were not offered to not... More

We stayed for one night in mid-February. The house is relatively new (finished in 2010) and the rooms are well appointed with high end furnishings and fixtures. My wife loved the bathroom (which in room 4 at least) was divided into three sections -- again, lovely fixtures and a large shower. Real care and attention to detail by an owner... More

This house is a fabulous example of minimalist style,design and elegance! All rooms have unbelievable views over the enormous Wilderness beach, the whole house seems to be made of glass and the decking and pool is just a lovely place to chill out and watch the incredible sunsets. You can walk straight down to the beach. The owner is very... More

Perfect location right on the beach. Stunning view from every single room. A modern, minimalistic high quality villa that definitely deserves its five star rating. However, the service doesn't really match the exterior.

Stayed here as part of my recent South Africa trip and could not have been more satisfied with this place. I made a more than reasonably priced "stay 3, pay 2 nights" arrangement at short notice and found the property to be very stylish with all beautiful views of the ocean. Both management and staff is extremely friendly and professional,... More

We just had a four night stay at this magnificent guesthouse and it was absolutely superb! Being out of season we got a discounted rate which was excellent value. The house is situated literally on the beach, providing us with stunning views, even whilst still lying in bed. The architecture and decor is very modern and minimalist, very unusual and... More
