Lovely location, lovely accomodation

Keith Godwin, South Africa

04 December 2010

We had a one night stay in this fantastic guest house set at the side of a beautiful lake. Ideal for bird watchers having two great hides in quiet locations. The accommodation was exceptional. We had the Garden Cottage - the welcome and service and food were also second to none. We highly recommended this superb guest house.

Wonderful setting !

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.

Wonderful Stay

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at “The Old Trading Post”. We stayed in the newly refurbished self-catering Garden Room and it was exceedingly comfortable and homely. Mike and Harja are lovely hosts, very warm and welcoming. We definitely suggest The Old Trading Post if you are looking for accommodation in the Wilderness area and surrounds. We will be back.
