Protea Wilds Retreat  

Tucked on a 270-hectare, 'end-of-the-road' farm between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route. Set above the Bitou Valley with Langkloof Mountain views, and minutes from Adventure Land (water slides and play park), Radical Raptors, Lawnwood Snake Park and Plett Puzzle Park. Pet-friendly and family-friendly retreat close to local attractions.

Choose from individually decorated guestrooms, self-catering studio units, a cottage or the upmarket Bitou Valley House. Rooms feature private furnished balconies or patios, en-suite showers and some have fireplaces. Studios include fully equipped kitchens, fridges and microwaves. Expect sweeping fynbos and protea views, pick-your-own flora, guided walks with a resident horticulturist/birder and quiet, wide-open spaces for serious breathing room.

Pool and pool deck overlooking the valley, a small splash pool at the cottage, outdoor pool and aquapark facilities nearby. Picnic and BBQ areas, a communal fynbosskerm with lounge and DSTV, massage room and tour desk to book local excursions. Playrooms for kids, diving-club access, safe shaded parking and laundry service on site. Wake up to fynbos mornings and valley breezes.

Complimentary wireless internet at reception and free Wi‑Fi across the property. Multilingual staff, safe-deposit box and on-site parking.

Cooked-to-order breakfasts available daily for a fee and farm breakfasts on request. Order picnic baskets or enjoy the shaded BBQ and dining room. Local touches include cheese and regional wine tastings nearby for a true Garden Route flavour.
