Fantastic hotel set on the hill above Wilderness Beach, fabulous service provided by James & his staff

Out of this world location, stunning views, the breakfast was 1st class with plenty of choice & James the hoist told us on our arrival at lunch time you will see sandwiches & cake please help yourself. This was a lovely touch & was all included in the price you paid. Highly recommended 👌

We stayed two nights and had always a great start in the day with a breakfast. The host is a very talkative person and the beach is nearly free of other persons. We did paragliding next to this place which I only can recommend. Overall, we had a great stay.

I can’t recommend Dune Villa highly enough! Set on the beachfront, you have endless views of spectacular unspoiled Wilderness beaches. The Villa has two levels. The ground floor is a lounge and dining room with a coffee bar, drinks and snacks available for guests 24/7. There is also an honesty bar with wine, spirits and soft drinks so you can choose from their selection. The ground floor opens onto a beautiful garden with decking and a plunge pool. There are stairs at the end of the garden taking you onto the beach. Upstairs there are the 5 rooms. We stayed in room number five which is a very big and luxurious suite with sea views all round. (All rooms have a sea view). The bed is large and comfortable there is a large lovely bath and shower. Everything is clean and beautiful. The hosts are incredibly friendly. They have provided so many little extras for guests, I haven’t experienced this level of hospitality and attention to detail anywhere else. For example there are scented candles for you to use while you bath. Sunblock ( lots of different brands) and pool towels are provided, as well as binoculars for dolphin and whale spotting; the beautiful coffee bar downstairs is amply stocked; there is a snack fridge in the room that’s complimentary, where you’ll find wine, chocolates, water, beers; there are lovely gowns and slippers provided in each room. You feel really pampered! Needless to say we have already booked our next stay!

This hotel is located in a residential area, which gives it more a B&B then a hotel idea. We were the only guests and therefore a bit surprised about the breakfast spread, which was very big. The room had a beautiful view of the Indian Ocean and it was nice that you could sit outside on a private balcony. The room itself was spacious, but the lay out was a bit odd, with a glass shower potruding into the room: not very nice when you want to shower in privacy (:-)). There were comfortable beds, but a stand for suitcases was missing while there was enough space for them and part of the room was badly lit. In the room were plenty of snacks, so you could nibble away while relaxing. When we wanted to know if we could leave the balcony doors open during the night, it was difficult to get in touch with the owner. That was a bit annoying.

We stayed at Dune Villa for 2 nights during our round trip in SA. We chose this place as we wanted to stay right at the beach! “Right at the beach” in Wilderness is always “above” on the hill where all private residencies are with a lovely view along the whole beach. We enjoyed our stay there very much, we had a great time despite we hit 2 very windy days! James, the owner, is a friendly person that helps out with any issue. The suite was very spacious and clean. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is to offer breakfast a bit earlier than 8:30/9 as it might crash someone’s day trip plans.
