Wildekrans Country House

Very comfortable accommodation in this heritage house in the Houwhoek village. Highlights are the South African art collection on the walls and in the gardens and the authentic experience of an owner-run establishment with a strong sense of place, history and community

Beautiful and peaceful setting, with welcoming owners and staff. Birch cottage was a fantastic spot for us as we were attending a wedding 5 mins walk down the road.

A well organised trail. The guides were knowledgeable and made the hikes very interesting giving us information about the plants and wild life. A highlight was the delicious breakfast and snacks provided en route! The trials themselves were well chosen through the most spectacular countryside and mountain scenery.

Such a beautiful place. The most lovely home and staff and owner who came to great when we landed. Alison is a great host. We loved our room so much overlooking the mountains. They arranged for a beautiful hike for us through the Finbos and amazing breakfast and dinner every day. The pool was lovely and refreshing and they have three beautiful rescue dogs who kept us entertained and we felt less homesick, having the energy of the animals. Cannot wait to go back!

Great setting, full attention to small details to ensure a comfortable and relaxed stay. Delicious meals, all spaces filled with a really special collection of South African contemporary art. Swimming pool to cool off in with view of the mountains

Loved our stay at this serene country home, surrounded by rolling vineyards. The walking trails were fantastic, and we spent our mornings hiking the Green Mountain trail. Wildekrans epitomizes the essence of tranquil luxury, where the food is as breathtaking as the views.

This was our fourth time at Wilderkrans ! Yet another lovely stay. Not only a superb and genuine set up but ALSO an exceptional host team who make it a very a humane experience. Thank you Alison and Barry, Annie and Rosie See you very soon hopefully !

We stayed at Wildekrans and walked the Green Mountain Trail. It was an unforgettable experience and everything about it surpassed my expectations. The walks themselves were beautiful, well planned and expertly led and coming back each day to Wildekrans began to feel like coming home - but without the work. Alison, the owner of Wildekrans is a wonderful and very generous host. It's a beautiful farmhouse with stunning views and garden. The homecooked food is utterly delicious - thankyou Annie - and of course some great wines.
