The young couple new managers were great. The new braai and outdoor area around the pool is great. Everything you need to cook and eat on and with us supplied. It's only a short 5min drive into town. The room was huge.

L’Heritage Retreat is located just 2 km from the charming village of Wilderness along South Africa’s iconic Garden Route nestled at the base of the Outeniqua Mountains. Surrounded by natural beauty, the retreat offers a peaceful environment perfect for relaxation and exploration. The area is home to diverse wildlife, including graceful buck, owls, and flocks of guinea fowl that roam the landscape. Bird enthusiasts will also delight in spotting species such as the Knysna turaco and the vibrant Narina trogon. The nearby Wilderness Section of the Garden Route National Park boasts even more wildlife, like grysbok and the elusive Cape leopard. Guests can enjoy picturesque picnic spots scattered around the property, ideal for soaking in the atmosphere. While the retreat is well-maintained, there are some minor signs of wear that don’t detract from its charm. L’Heritage Retreat is an ideal destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful getaway amidst the lush wilderness of the Garden Route. Now under new ownership and undergoing exciting renovations, we are giving this property a fresh new start.
