We expected a very cold weekend with rain. It was so nice to live in a warm welcome and cottage with enough blankets and heaters.
We had a great time hanging out around a boma and enjoying rugby by a fireplace. Perfect.

Friendly service, very nice surroundings.
The environment and friendly service make up for the lack of "attention to detail" in the cottage. There were dirty dishes when we arrived, and problems with the water pipes. There was also little privacy after the other guests arrived.

Jammer ons kon julle nie tevrede stel nie. Daar het 'n groep uitgeboek die dag met julle aankoms en my personeel was nog besig om skoon te maak, en het waarskynlik in die dolheid eers alles anders gedoen en toe vergeet, baie jammer daaroor. As jy my gese het het ons dit dadelik kom was. Die toiletpyp wat geraas het as jy dit trek, het ek nie van geweet nie, ek het dit toevallig gehoor, en het dit die dag na jul aankoms uitgesorteer. Ons adverteer ons akkommodasie as aards, maar gemaklik, met goeie beddens, linne en handdoeke. Wat die privaatheid betref, daar is ander gaste en julle sal wel in gemene areas hulle sien, of hul mag dalk by julle eenheid verbyloop van tyd tot tyd. Mooi gaan.

Protea Wilds Retreat can be recommended, the place is breathtakingly beautiful. Amanda, the hostess, is professional but very pleasant. The road there is in good condition. If you want to appreciate the Garden Route, Protea Wilds is a good starting point, from here you can drive around to Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.

Our visit to Protea Wilds was way too short. Our room was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed like coffee, towels and the most beautiful view. The gravel road is kept in good condition and Protea Wilds was easy to find. Amanda was very friendly and helpful and sent through all the directions before our stay. We will definitely stay at Protea Wilds again.

Great. The gravel road can be challenging, but it's possible.
The destination is lovely and well located between Plett and Knysna. The house is old, but neat. The old clothes and mittens hanging on the hall stand just made us a bit uncomfortable. Looked as though the people living there were on their way back. The fridge defrosted the meat I put in there for some reason. Other than that, it was really nice! The wine tasting and cattle on the farm are lovely.

Hallo Christelle
Dankie vir jou mooi skrywe. Ja, ons hou die pad so goed moontlik in stand, dit is soms moeilik sonder hulp van die padowerhede, maar ek het darem nog nooit probleme gehad met enige gaste wat dit nie kon ry nie.
Dit is my ouma se voortrekker rok, wat sy gemaak het, en my ma se handskoene. Ek het gedink dit gee karakter aan die huis en pas in by die tema. Jammer oor die ongemak, ek kon dit weggeneem het. Wens ek het geweet van die yskas, ek sou dan 'n plan probeer maak het.
Dankbaar dat julle lekker gebly en dit verder geniet het. Mooi gaan.

Baie dankie vir jou mooi woorde Karina. Alhoewel die grondpad net 9 km vanaf die N2 tot hier is, het dit ongelukkig hard gereën toe julle aankom. Die pad word gelukkig gereeld geskraap en goed onderhou. Versigtig is maar die antwoord tot 'n mens hom paar keer gery het en meer op mens se gemak raak. Gaste het darem nog nooit vasgesit of 'n ongeluk gemaak nie. Dankie vir julle geduld hiermee! Hoop ek kan jul weer verwelkom!

I sought rest and found it there.
However, the sound density is not good and you hear every sound from your neighbors. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful and safe for walking. There is beautiful fynbos. For families, however, it is a bit remote and you have to drive too far. For those looking for peace and quiet, this is the right place if you can find quiet neighbors. It's wonderful to swim in the heated pool.
