The Wild Farm Review
Horses and cows in the field, a huge vegetable garden, and endless views over the ocean create a sense of space and abundance at this friendly, squeaky-clean hostel set high on a farm above Wilderness. Brothers Riaan and Theo Barnard, both qualified tour guides, offer excursions all over the Garden Route, as well as surfboard rentals and regular shuttles to and from Wilderness and the surrounding beaches. You're welcome to use the well-equipped kitchen or barbecue, though you might want to start the day off with a big farm breakfast for R35.
