Charlie
The ideal place to stay on the Garden Route as approximately halfway.However more importantly The Trading Place exudes a beautiful calm rustic charm, exemplifed by the host. The most delicious breakfast awaits you at a time of your choce, the bread is homemade. Highly recommended is their preordered pizza in the evening. The host is coincidentally the guide for the river trips, so has exceptional knowledge on the nature of the area. If all this attracts you if you are considering being based in the Wilderness area I would urge you to stay here.
Charlie
I arrived after a long tiring 5 hr drive and immediately relaxed with the warm friendly obliging welcome. Mike the owner was very helpful and patient about my enquiries for the area. His wife is a tremendous cook and equally amenable..Highly recommended is the offer of a pizza in the evening totally delicious. The lodging has utmost rustic charm. Such a great relaxing cheery vibe - go for it

Quiet place
This was a nice quiet place but difficult to find and a ways out of the way from the town.
Nice hiking and things to do

Rustic, Tranquil Stay!
We LOVED staying at The Old Trading Post. There's a lot of history to the place, which my mom really enjoyed. The properly is beautiful and surrounded by nature. We enjoyed watching many species of birds while staying on the property. The dogs on the property were friendly and sweet and not overly loud. We enjoyed only one night here but which we could have stayed longer...and plan to return on our next Garden Route adventure. The property is truly peaceful and tranquil. We enjoyed sitting by the pool reading books and resting, the beds and room are comfortable and clean. We stayed in the Tin Room. The only thing we did not like about our room was the floor boards create SO much, it was very noisy to walk around one side of the room. We felt terrible being so loud on our way out the door in the early morning because the room shares a wall with another suite. Mike and Renee were great hosts and even woke up to prepare a breakfast for us, ready at 6:30am so we could get on the road on time! Great food and lovely people who gave us our space but were also very friendly and helpful.

Good Night.
Helpful host, lovely breakfast. Bathroom a bit of a museum.
Katherine
Comfortable B&B just outside Wilderness
We stayed in a twin room. It was clean & comfortable. Couldn't get wifi in our room & had to be in the main house to use it. The breakfast was delicious & plentiful with a good selection of both continental & hot options. The owner was very friendly.
Erin
beautiful lodge in wilderness
We only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed for longer. The house itself was beautiful with a big front porch. We spent a few hours outside, reading and staring at the beautiful scenery. We were there in winter, but were cozy warm with a heated blanket and after taking warm baths in the tub. Breakfast was big, with both cold and warm options.
We'll definitely be planning to come back someday.

A delightful place with a great host.
A tucked away place that is very peaceful. Breakfast good, and facilities adequate. Mine host is friendly and informative. For bird watchers one of the lakes' hides is about 5 km away.
Will

Wonderful hosts
The proprietors were fantastically hospitable to some slightly changed plans. Breakfast was good, the pool clean, everything was nice and pleasant and lovely. The gardens themselves are quite nice.
Verified traveler
Very comfortable night followed by an amazing breakfast definately a place to be recomended
Ulrich
On our way from Cape Town to the wonderful Pure Nature Lodge in Paterson we stopped twice at The Old Trading Post for one night stop-over. We really enjoyed it and on the way back to Cape Town it felt already like coming home :-) And the pizza dinner was really outstanding - really the best pizza we ever had!!!

En lille perle for naturelskere
Vi havde et ønske om at besøge Wilderness National Park. Da The Old Trading Post Guest House ligger ideelt tæt på National Parken, valgte vi stedet som udgangspunkt for vores besøg. Stedets værtspar og deres 2 søde hunde var en glædelig oplevelse i sig selv. Vil du bo på landet i Sydafrika i rolige omgivelser og et hyggeligt miljø, skal du lægge vejen forbi netop dette sted. Vi var så heldige, at værten havde en bådfart i Wilderness National Park, som vi benyttede os af og fik en stor oplevelse om parkens fauna og fugleliv på sejlturen.
Robert
Private but average
Great breakfast and private, but that is it. No wifi in our room. The bathroom did not have a proper door. The lake near by dos not feel accessible. Good hiking near by though. The service was good.
