Hotels near Garden Route Dam in George

The best stop in South Africa! Leon and his wife provide a seaside villa that everyone dreams of! Good hardware (5 stars), invincible scenery, good service attitude, exquisite breakfast, rich outdoor activity base nearby! After breakfast, drive out to find a destination Day trip. At 4 pm, I returned to the villa to guard the dolphins and come to the shore for ”breakfast”. At 5:30, I went to the beach to feel the most beautiful sunset. At night, I opened two bottles of wine and lay on the terrace to listen to the waves and watch the stars!

My wife and I recently escaped to Arendsrus for a quick breakaway, and it was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a place that feels ”off-the-grid” and immersed in nature without sacrificing luxury, this is it. The setting at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains is spectacular. The wooden chalets offer a sense of total privacy and a ”wilderness” vibe that immediately makes you forget the hustle of daily life. The attention to detail is top-notch, especially the 800-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets—it’s clear the hosts care deeply about guest comfort. The absolute highlight of our stay was the a la carte breakfast served directly to our room. It was delicious, beautifully presented, and allowed us to enjoy a slow morning soaking in the views from our balcony in total peace. The hospitality was warm and genuine, and the entire atmosphere is one of tranquility and refined rustic charm. It truly is a hidden gem on the Garden Route. We left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to go back!

The service facilities are absolutely first-class, playing with children, the hotel can also ride and swim, many restaurants are reasonably priced and taste good. Golf course beauty painting recommended 👍

Such a lovely place to stay, felt so welcome and looked after from the moment I arrived. Will definately come and stay again.

I booked a trip for my mom. She had to stay close to the hospital in town because of a family emergency. I told the staff this, and they took extra special care of my mom. They even included a free breakfast for her for both days, which was not paid for. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and everyone was friendly and helpful to her. The nature was also top-tier, and she had a pleasant day during this tough trip.

An amazing place with amazing views. One of my favourite places on the coast. Will get self-catering next time as only 1 restaurant nearby. The food is great though.

The view is excellent and the hosts are very friendly. Everything is perfect here and your stay will definitely be comfortable.

I had an incredible experience at this hotel! The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The hotel’s amenities, such as the pool were well maintained . The location was at housing area which not suitable for public transport, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay

From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The room was spotlessly clean and well-appointed, with beautiful views. We enjoyed dining at the hotel's restaurant, ordering from the a la carte menu. The food was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The service was attentive and prompt as well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at The Wilderness Hotel. The combination of the beautiful natural setting, the hospitable staff, and the excellent dining made for a truly memorable stay. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a rejuvenating retreat in a stunning environment, close to the beach.

I didn't take a photo, I'm sorry! It's about 10km away from George Airport, but it's not going into the city, it's going to the beach. The hotel was originally owned by Hyatt. For some reason, it became an independent hotel. The rooms have superb views, with ocean view rooms, and the other direction is not ocean view rooms, but it is facing the golf course, opening the curtains, and the eyes are green. Breakfast was very, very good, lots of fruit, and sushi! Stayed several times. Very satisfied
