 As
far back as the late 1800s the reputation of Wilderness with its
natural bounty of rivers and lakes and intrinsic peace and tranquillity,
ideal for seaside holidays, was laid in a little stone farmhouse.
Today the romantic seaside resort of Wilderness lies 15 km east
of George between the Kaaimans River in the west and the
Goukamma Nature Reserve in the east, bordered by the Outeniqua
Mountains in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south.
Wilderness offers the the visitor 18 km of Southern Cape coastline
surrounded by a national lake area with five lakes and two estuaries,
The Wilderness National Park is a charming world of lakes, rivers,
fens, estuaries and beaches which gently unfolds against a backdrop of
lush forest and lofty mountains.
 The
charm of Wilderness is its other-worldliness; its sense of being
cut off by its boundaries of sea and forest from the hectic workday world.
It is an ideal base to explore the Garden Route being close George,
Sedgefield, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Knysna, PLettenberg Bay and the
Tsitsikamma National Park.
