South Africa's Garden Route is world famous for its emerald hills of indigenous forests, lakes, lagoons and rivers. The dusty gold beaches, hidden caves and temperate climate make it an ideal destination and it is here, between the lagoon and the Indian Ocean, where you'll find the Protea Hotel Wilderness Resort.
Explore the surroundings and visit the nearby Wilderness National Park, Featherbed Nature Reserve, the Otter Trail, Tsitsikamma National Park or the scenic Bushbuck and Kingfisher Trails. The spectacular Sedgefield lakes district nearby, with its abundance of bird life and nature trails, is a must for nature lovers. Alternatively, go for a ride in the choo-tjoe, a genuine steam train, which runs between George and Knysna, or visit the famous Cango Caves, crocodile and ostrich farms in Oudtshoorn.
