Protea Wilds Retreat

 
 

Description

Situated in the heart of the Garden Route, this small and personal family-owned farm offers you peace and tranquillity like you have never experienced before. Protea Wilds Retreat is conveniently situated between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, close enough to enjoy all the activities in and around the area.

Spoil yourself on this 270 hectare retreat, abundant with birdlife, proteas, and fynbos. You can enjoy our self-drive scenic 4x4 route, take your mountain bike and explore, hike down to the Bitou River, or relax on the pool deck whilst enjoying the view.

Just in front of the units is our unique Fynbosskerm, an enclosed lapa area with kitchens, private and central barbecue areas, lounge with fireplace and DStv, and dining/breakfast room. The views are exquisite and our hospitality second to none.

Protea Wilds Retreat is continually moving closer to becoming greener and more environmentally friendly. We recycle, we only use fully biodegradable and organic cleaning agents that are not tested on animals, we conserve water where we can, plant indigenous flora and fauna, and we save energy by phasing out normal bulbs and using solar heating for the pool.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Great Outdoors: With 270 hectares, we offer an abundance of fynbos, breathtaking views, and at least 22 km of 4x4 or mountain bike trails.

Pets Permitted: Our Bitou Valley House is pet friendly. The house is fenced and located 2 km away from all other accommodation. No busy roads, just plenty of space to let you dogs roam around.

This was our first time at Protea Wilds. The hospitality was fantastic and the breakfast definitely a must! Even the dinner was wonderful! You are part of the family now, thanks for everything Amanda. You really are the best hostess ever! It truly was an amazing stay. We’ve built up great memories and will definitely see you again in the future.

This was our 3rd time at this establishment and we travel 1000km from Johannesburg. As always, the food is outstanding, the service is excellent and the management have become part of our family. Having 4 children is never a problem and they are catered for with caring and love.! Thanks again Amanda for an amazing holiday. the memories grow with each visit. We will see you all again soon.
