Best "boat house room" EVER!!!!
Our overnight stay was THE BEST in so many ways. The warm, helpful greeting was very heart warming and the location, comfort and tastefully decorated room was very very special. The attention to detail on the delicious and plentiful breakfast was admirable. I can recommend this accommodation to everyone.

South African road trip.
Moontide Guesthouse is in a beautiful setting overlooking the lagoon with individually designed rooms. Our room was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed and everything we needed. The staff were friendly and welcoming and were able to offer suggestions for dinner. The breakfast was delicious and there were a range of options. We wish we could have stayed longer.

10/10 Exceptional

Our only regret regarding the Moontide Lodge is that we only stayed one night! Our room, the “Milkwood” was clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and perfect for our family of four. It was decorated with all sorts of interesting curios which gave it a homey feel. Our children loved the loft and the thatched roof. We used one of the canoes to go for a little row across the lagoon. Breakfast was delicious, service was great, and Janet at reception was most kind and helpful. We would definitely go back should we visit Wilderness again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Rarely does a hotel match up to its reputation, this location is superb, and the care taken by all concerned to make our stay as restful and enjoyable as possible was truly exceptional. As you will gather we injoyed all elements of our three night stay.

Gorgeous place with great service
Moontide was amazing. I wanted to move in and stay for months! The "rooms" are huge and all different with little nooks and crannies filled with treasures and comforts. We had stone cottage that, while quirky, was fun and very comfortable. Service was amazing from everyone and the breakfast on the patio overlooking the river was delicious and so peaceful. My kids loved swimming in the river and taking a canoe out. Manager Tim booked the best restaurants for us each evening and was always available for questions. This is the best place we have stayed in South Africa or anywhere for a long time.

Perfection
Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Staff was amazing. We had to leave early morning and they graciously provided breakfast prior to normal serving time. Maureen is a charming hostess and Tim a very helpful manager in terms of suggesting restaurants and things to do. Each suite is different and beautifully decorated. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

If I owned or ran a hotel it would be Moontide
Moontide Guest Lodge is a totally unique hotel and a totally unique experience. We were looked after perfectly from arrival to departure by our excellent host Tim. We stayed in Stone Cottage which is perfect in every detail - its 2 bedrooms were a home from home. Breakfast - cooked to order and served on the terrace, was sublime. I have no doubt we'll be staying at Moontide again.

A little African Gem
Tim the manager is very welcoming & a great host. He works very hard to ensure the comfort of guests & to help them plan each day so they enjoy their stay at Wilderness to the maximum. Maureen the owner speaks to individual guests each morning at breakfast & is very supportive. She has given great thought to the decoration of each room. Ours had a strong African theme & we loved it. Special touches everywhere we looked in our room. Bathroom really well proportioned & had beautiful soaps etc

Um hotel pra ficar!
Esse hotel é um sonho!! Que delícia sentar nas mesas e espreguiçadeiras do jardim de frente para o rio ou pegar um dos caiaques disponíveis e curtir o sol. O quarto também, além de confortável, era de extremo bom gosto. Decoração cuidadosa e caprichada A equipe é fantástica: a dona, Maureen, o Judge, que esteve conosco na maior parte do tempo .. todos muito muito gentis e profissionais, genuinamente interessados no bem-estar dos hóspedes. Adoramos tudo e ficamos loucos de vontade de voltar!
