Old Trading Post - Garden Room

My husband and I loved staying at the Old Trading Post in the newly renovated Garden Room. We had a wonderful time. The Old Trading Post is located in a quiet but tranquil place in Wilderness and the Garden Room is perfect for a couple. The open courtyard is perfect for braais which we made use of daily! Mike and Harja, thank you for your hospitality and kindness. It was a wonderful stay and hope to visit again soon.
