Wildekrans Country House

Wonderful staff, relaxing environment & clean rooms. It’s the small things that really make this place amazing like fresh flowers in the rooms, the friendly staff, personal requests are seen to without problems and the gardens are beautiful too.

Wildekran's Country House was like a step back in time. It is an 1800's heritage house surrounded by beautiful,slightly wild, gardens and a swimming pool. The accommodation was extremely clean and comfortable. We were surrounded by the growing collection of South African artwork collated by our wonderful host, Alison. All the staff in the house were very friendly and helpful . The food was simple and delicious. After our exertions on The Green Mountain Trail every meal was a great treat. One of the most enjoyable features of the time we spent at Wildekrans was meeting very interesting people and having lively conversations over dinner. We were in a group of four family members and joined up with five others. This venue was highly recommended by South African friends of ours and we were not disappointed in any way. It was a five star experience . Jane Macdonald.

Beautifully appointed house with very pleasing attention to detail. Fabulous garden, the scent of honeysuckle wafting into our bedroom, great art, breakfast in the quirky barn, wonderful service from Rosie, Anna and Cassie, nothing too much trouble. We’ll definitely be back

We came to walk the trail with a group of our Pilates friends ,. There were 10 of us and we fitted perfectly into this ideal setting . The food is delicious with all our dietary requirements , respected and handled imaginatively . Even our late breakfast on the mountain was low carb and special . We had several wine tasting and lunches on farms organized for us and as Alison guests everything was tip top ! We had a very special art tour and talk one evening by Alison who has curated a magnificent collection of South African contemporary art over the years which is displayed in her home and extensive gardens . The staff are also lovely , caring and knowledgeable and we can’t wait to return . Thank you for your attention to detail and organisation skills ,It doesn’t just happen .💕

Spent one night at Wildekrans and it was lovely to see the Elgin Open Gardens. The gardens are beautiful and so very pretty. The mountain views are exceptional. The accommodation is lovely and comfortable. The only negative was that we were there for only one night!

Alison and her team have established a very special Country House, with impeccably curated art and antique furnishings. The old manor home is thoughtfully maintained, and surrounded by exquisite gardens. Dinner in the barn or lunch under the trees was a treat every time and we could taste the love that went into the preparation of each meal. Alison thought about every detail of our stay and the organisation of the Green Mountain Trail, which we did over 4 days, was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Wildekrans Country House and its Blue or Green Mountain Trail to any hiking enthusiast with a taste for luxury accommodation and attention to detail. I will definitely be back, and will be bringing my family with me. Thank you WCH!
