The Tops is situated in the centre of the Garden Route: fifteen minute's drive from the airport, one hour away from Mossel Bay, Oudtshoorn, Knysna , hiking trails, canoeing, paragliding (instructors take you tandem-gliding), a game reserve displaying the Big 5 and 20 of South Africa's most scenic golf courses. Pack a picnic basket and visit our 3 bird hides from where you will be able to watch the king fishers diving for fish and swallowing them right in front of you or try to land your own cob or grunter from the river on the boardwalk or on the beach. Canoe along the river to the waterfall and swim in the cool, cola-colored water in the pools below.

Lying in the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains in a region of incomparable beauty, Wilderness is an attractive holiday resort with beautiful beaches (blue flag status) and numerous vantage points from which to watch the whales and dolphins.
As far back as the late 1800's the reputation of Wilderness with its natural bounty of rivers and lakes and intrinsic peace and tranquillity, ideal for seaside holidays, was established in a little stone farmhouse. A seaside boarding house was established in the old homestead - and so began the tradition of hospitality which has made this small resort town famous all over the world.
The romantic resort of Wilderness lies 15 km east of George, between the Kaaimans River in the West and the Goukamma Nature Reserve in the east, bordered by the Outeniqua Mountains in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south. Wilderness is renowned for its vast stretches of beach, its peace and tranquillity and the absence of windswept headlands and wild, stormy seas. The long stretch of beach embraces the mouths of the Touw and Kaaimans Rivers, and is backed by northward cliffs over which the fringe of the forest reaches down to sea level.

Reviews
The hosts, Tom and Magda were very welcoming and gave a comprehensive run down on all relevant information. They provided an excellent breakfast ,which was served on a patio with wonderful views. An added bonus was a tame Knysna Loerie who was enjoying breakfast at a bird feeding station adjacent to the patio.
I booked for my sister and partner to stay here from UK, they loved it, the views the breakfasts. the hosts could not have been better, friendly, nothing too much trouble, made them very welcome, thank you so much
