Home away from home.

Didn't want to leave, it's your home away from home. Very neat and spacious, well equipped, and situated in the bush and mountains near the shopping areas.

No unnecessary frills - simply perfect for us!

My elderly relative and I stayed in Wilderness for a couple of nights to break up the drive from Cape Town to St Francis Bay. Melkhout was perfect for us - no fancy frills that we'd never use and that would push the price up. Just practical necessities - like a gas bottle and camping kettle for that urgent cup of tea during load shedding! Yes, it's a duplex arrangement, but we never heard a peep from next door. There are stairs up to the front door and up to the main bedroom/ensuite, but my uncle managed them fine. We enjoyed sitting on the sunny back patio drinking our first coffee of the day and listening to the birds in the beautiful big trees extending up the wooded hill. The key safe arrangement meant we were independent and that the hospitality was not obtrusive. Yet, Mia was really responsive through text, and we knew she was on hand at a moment's notice if we needed anything.

Rustig, privaat en natuurskoon baie mooi.

Baie lekker gebly, dankie. Die geroep van die voëls in die oggend is iets wat jy nie op enige plek sal ervaar nie. Enigste moontlike negatiewe is dat mens nie werklik vinnig dorp toe kan stap nie, jy stap omtrent 25-30 minute tot by die restaurante. Dit het ons egter nie gepla nie en ons het maar soontoe gery. Die rustigheid en natuurskoon is 5 ster. Die omgewing is bebos en ek weet nie hoe veilig dit werklik is nie, maar jy is maar op ander plekke ook nie 100% veilig nie.

Quiet, private and scenically beautiful.

Very nice stay, thank you. The call of the birds in the morning is something you will not experience anywhere. Only possible negative is that you can't really walk to town quickly, you walk about 25-30 minutes to the restaurants. However, it didn't bother us and we just drove there. The tranquility and natural beauty is 5 star. The area is wooded and I don't know how safe it really is, but you're not 100% safe in other places either.

Lovely family getaway.

We loved our stay, peaceful surroundings with a lonely hiking trail which takes you all the way to the village.

Net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Melkhout was lekker wegbreek, as jy na 'n rustige wegbreek soek, is dit Melkhout, Wilderness.

Die plek is baie netjies en baie privaat.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Die plek is baie mooi en die omgewing is baie stil. Geen voertuie en motors wat die heeltyd daar verbyry nie.

Baie lekker gekuier. Huis is goed toegerus.

Hierdie huis is in 'n baie lekker, stil area van Wildernis geleë. Die huis is goed toegerus en het alles wat mens benodig. Ons voel net dit moes aan ons bekend gemaak gewees het dat dit 'n duplekshuis is, met huurders langsaan. Buiten dit het ons baie lekker gebly.

Had a great time. House is well equipped.

This house is located in a very nice, quiet area of Wilderness. The house is well equipped and has everything one needs. We just feel it should have been disclosed to us that this is a duplex house, with tenants next door. Other than that we had a very nice stay.

Baie gerieflik, goed ingerig vir alles.

Vriendelike diens, heerlike ruimte. Dis regtig lekker om 'n slag goeie diens te ervaar. Wanneer ons weer daar iewers moet wees, sal ons verseker weer Meklhout gebruik.
