Kingfisher Country House  

Set in Wilderness on South Africa’s Garden Route, this country house sits about 2 km from the town center. You’re close to Wilderness National Park (a Ramsar site), Victoria Bay Beach, Sedgefield Beach and the Garden Route Botanical Garden.

Country-chic rooms with antique furniture, fresh flowers and romantic log fires in winter give a warm, relaxed vibe. Cosy cottage-style en-suite bedrooms offer king or twin beds, private entrances, heaters, fans, tea/coffee trays, safes, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries; wide covered verandas overlook the rambling garden and park.

Sparkling outdoor pool, terrace and garden, plus a picnic and barbecue area with grills. On-site perks include a library, TV in the lobby, tour/ticket assistance, private check-in/out and free parking — ideal as a base for hiking, canoeing and birding.

A complimentary breakfast is served daily on the wide covered veranda, featuring freshly baked muffins or scones and homemade jams.
