Garden Route, Western Cape hotel rooms at the Independent

"Really impressed with the spacious rooms, wonderful service, great facilities, excellent food and lovely indoor and outdoor pool and spa. Rooms are a little dated but still comfortable and elegant. Hotel definitely has improved since a previous stay and look forward to returning."

"Thank you for excellent stay!!!"

"This is one of our favorite half-way stops on our way down to Cape Town. Wildernis is a quant little town with world-class restaurants and The Wildernis Hotel is such a great place to stay. Lovely pool, padel, tennis and mini-golf facilities. Excellent breakfasts! And very, very friendly staff."

"Wish we had been able to stay another night as we loved this place so much. It's in such a beautiful spot with spectacular views over the bay. Reception staff were all so friendly and welcoming and we had a fantastic dinner in the on-site restaurant that night with great customer service too. Worth noting, there is a fairly long and steep hill to the shops/cafes/restaurants in the town so if you had mobility issues that may be a problem (unless you were driving)."

"Beautiful and friendly "

"Amazing hotel, 5 big stars. Everything was perfect we couldn’t have asked for anything more, lovely friendly staff. Lovely restaurants nearby, safe to walk to. Excellent, thank you."

"This place is an absolute gem! My husband and I truly enjoyed this venue for our last few days in Plettenburg Baii! The venue is absolutely beautiful but I can say that this place wouldn’t be as beautiful as it was without the great staff. The service given was superb and it truly felt like home being there!"
