This is the ideal location for enjoying nature, row on the river and explore the Garden Route.
The children had a lovely time rowing and playing with other children on lawns. Wilderness village is a few minute drive away as is the beach.
House was well equiped and tv and wifi kept the kids busy during the cold evenings.

River views stunning. Comfortable home that had everything we needed. Lovely and clean. Friendly host and easy booking process. Easy access to Kenyans, sedgefield and cango caves. A days river kayaking highly recommended.
Only recommendation would be provision of firewood for first braai.

I have been visiting At Rest for over 15 years now and have always enjoyed my stay, taking in the fresh air and enjoying the tranquility. I was there with my family in March 2022 and I can say its still as peaceful and beautiful as ever. I was glad to see some upgrades have been done to the chalet, just to improve its already well put together house.

At Rest was more than I dreamed it would be! We had an amazing time and really felt at rest. It was beautiful, the view was spectacular. It was the perfect location for our getaway. I would love to go back tomorrow if I could!
The only problem we had was that it was close to the road and could hear the traffic especially trucks!

Having never spent the night in Wilderness we were not sure where to book in order to enjoy our weekend to the fullest. We hit the jackpot by booking at At Rest!

Firstly, the beauty of the setting and view is hard to describe. Then, the accommodation checked all the boxes - It is close to the Wilderness Village and the beach, it has all the amenities you can think of, it is super clean and luxurious and we felt right at home from arrival to departure.

We stayed there over the Easter weekend, and what an amazing time we had. It is definitely a home away from home. There is cottage is so well equipped we didn't need to bring anything, everything was clean, comfortable. My husband and son definitely enjoyed the canoe. Wilderness is one of my favorite places and At Rest is a bonus (lovely home). I absolutely love At Rest it wasn't my first stay and I will definitely go back for a holiday. Well worth it!

A little gem away from the cities hustle and bustle, located on the banks of the river. Activities for both old and young with its tranquility canoeing down the river and on the trail to the beautiful waterfall. The chalet was fully equipped, clean and well maintained. Definitely a peaceful destination and close the beaches and shops. Thank you owners of “AT REST”

The house is neat, well equipped and comfortable enough to leave your old life behind and live here permanently (I wish). A view that you could spend all day staring at. The included kayak is a great bonus.

This has been our fourth visit and we hope to return very soon. This is probably the best holiday home we have come across and the only reason I can think of that I would not recommend it is to prevent other people from competing with us for a booking :-)

Thank you for having us!

This is our second visit to At Rest in Pirates Creek and we were equally as happy this time around. The accommodation was perfect for our family of five and we just love the location on the river at Wilderness. The added bonus of the use of the owner's kayak was very much enjoyed by our grand-daughters who were on holiday from the UK. Winter weather didn't deter them from venturing down the river each day of our stay. The house is well equipped and spotlessly clean. A place we will no doubt enjoy going back to on our next trip in that direction.

We stayed 4 nights at At Rest , we were 6 adults and one child it was fantastic. The beds were comfotable the house was equipped well and all functioned properly. The scenery is out of this world and the kayak that is free to use is in good condition and is a great asset and lots of fun. We found no complaints and the owner and hostess were fantastic always ready to help with anything.

Sure will return !!

Everything was just perfect. I don't think you can have a bad day after waking up with a view of the Touw River. Well equipped, neat and very comfortable. Right on the bank of the river and the canoe is a great bonus. Thank you for allowing us to share your slice of paradise.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the location overlooking the Touw River, the cleanliness, and the facilities more than met our needs. Having access to the river canoe was a real bonus. Our 17 month grandchild felt right at home and was very comfortable to stay there, as were we. Congrats on a value for money chalet ideally situated for access to the many attractions around Sedgefield, Wilderness and George.

It was an amazing experience. Totally at Rest in the cleanest accommodation imaginable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit in the beautiful and quiet surroundings and will surely make use of it again in future. We departed from at Rest to other holiday resorts and believe me, we missed At Rest for the rest of our holiday. Only negative thing is the bikers using the nearby highway as a test drive for their speedsters.

We unfortunately only had one full day in this lovely Chalet treating it as a stopover from Cape Town to KZN with our family of three from Scotland. They made full use of the kayak & our son in law spent a couple of hours paragliding over the beach, & we ate that night in the village, in a great restaurant recommended by Ilza our hostess. At Rest is located in a safe & secure resort so an ideal location for anyone considering a longer stay.

Thank you to the management team of At Rest for a wonderful, relaxing and very comfortable stay in Wilderness on the Touws River. The chalet was beautifully located, and well designed to maximise on the peaceful river views. The rooms, bathrooms and kitchen utensils were all very clean, and this was greatly appreciated.

Wow, it was a beautiful place we stayed. Very relaxing and calm. The chalets is furnished with what I would say very good taste. We had everything we needed for the stay and it was right next to the water. We really enjoyed it. The chalet can accommodate 6 people and I must say it will not feel crowded, although we where only 3.
