Fantastic guest house in a gorgeous location. A quality place which is maintained immaculately and is operated so well by the attentive owners Gerald and JD. They are so helpful and friendly. The lagoon facing room was large, well presented and maintained impeccably clean. It also had a large balcony with lovely views. The breakfast is lovely too with good choices and food cooked to order.

Ein B&B das kaum zu toppen ist. Die Unterkunft ist top in Schuss, Blitz sauber, bietet grosszügige Zimmer, die modern und komplett eingerichtet sind und die Gastgeber machen ihren Job in Perfektion mit viel Herzblut - besser geht es wirklich nicht. Wilderness ist sehr schöne mit einem tollen Strand und schönen Seen. 2 Tipps : River Safari und Ausflug zur Map of Africa mit 10 Min Tandem Paragliding Flug buchen und machen

Wilderness Manor war die Unterkunft mit dem besten Service, den wir jemals erlebt haben. JD and Gerald sind die besten Gastgeber, die man sich vorstellen kann. Alle Räume und die Gästezimmer sind wunderbar eingerichtet und wirklich perfekt gepflegt und sauber. Das Frühstück ist toll, besonders das Bircher Müsli (mit Geheimzutat). JD und Gerald haben uns viele nützliche Informationen für unseren Aufenthalt gegeben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen sicher wieder.

This is an amazing guest house run by two dedicated people who have the highest standards. It is a place that I would really like to keep a secret as I love it so much. The house is walkable distance to Wilderness village where there are lots of beautiful shops and excellent restaurants. The people who run Wilderness Manor make time with guests and go the extra mile to ensure comfort.

Alles war sehr sauber und die Zimmer liebevoll eingerichtet mit viel liebe fürs Detail.Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und Lecker. Nicht umsonst unter den Top 20 B&B's in ganz Afrika!!!

Wonderful Stay!

Wilderness Manor is a beautiful property with a wonderful staff. I wish we stayed longer than one night. The Garden Room is beautiful with a giant bathtub and beautiful bathroom. The breakfast was to die for and the location was perfect. We walked to The Girls restaurant, a wonderful rec from JD and his partner. They went above and beyond to help us plan the rest of our trip. We can't wait to return!
