"We spent 2 wonderful nights at this delightful property. Right on the beach with fantastic rooms and lots included in the price. Warm and friendly owners and this extends to all the staff. Even though the weather wasn't great, it was lovely enough for us to take a long walk along the pristine beach, watching dolphins in the surf. We loved it so much we have booked to stay again for 5 nights later this year - that should show how much we enjoyed it - and we can't wait to return."

"Where to stay for 5 nights on the 'Garden Route'? Should we rove from one location to the next so we tick them off? We stayed 4 nights here before taking 1 night on the route back to Cape Town. The lovely thing about the Cinnamon Boutique is that you can easily and safely walk into Wilderness town for dinner/lunch without the need to drive, and also the hotel is within easy reach of wonderful locations - Knysna Head & Lagoon, Wilderness Beach (try the Views Hotel for a drink), the walk up the Touw valley, the Power Van train ride from George. And the hotel itself is excellent with great staff."
