Garden Route Horse Trails offers horse riding trails into the indigenous forest of the Garden Route National Park. The Centre offers custom therapies such as Hydrotherapy, including Rasul, a treatment using mineral-rich mud along with heat and steam. Golfers can play on a Gary Player-designed 72 par, 18-hole signature golf course. The environmental diversity of the Garden Route offers forest, wetland, dune, Fynbos, estuary, riverine, montane, and coastal experiences. The Goukamma River, estuary, and Groenvlei Lake provide habitat for over 220 bird species, including the African black oystercatcher.

Location and Transportation

The Wilderness Hotel is 25 km from George. The hotel is framed by the Outeniqua Mountains and the Gwaing River Valley. Nearby landmarks include Palms Garden Square (1 km), The Le Roux Gallery (0.5 km), Map Of Africa View Point (4.5 km), Half Collared Kingfisher Trail (2.5 km), RPRX - Real People Real Xperiences (1 km), Kaaiman's River (0.5 km), and Kaaimans Waterfall (2.5 km).

Onsite Services

The combination of natural variation, a passion for nature, and scientific background has allowed Garden Route Trail to become leaders of informative nature guiding in the Garden Route.

“While the location and overall value proposition are strong, some aspects require attention. Reports mention outdated rooms and issues with key cards and hot water, indicating inconsistencies in service and maintenance. However, the property stands out with diverse recreational activities, proximity to natural attractions, and a family-friendly atmosphere.”
