Garden Route – Legacy Wilderness Dunes
The website calls it “a piece of paradise on the Garden
Route”. Situated on a 9km stretch of beach, Wilderness
Dunes is a great getaway for a family. Six-, eight- and
10-sleeper chalets with lofts are set in a resort-style
village. A children’s playground and a games room are
engaging and safe spaces for youngsters and, as most
parents know, when the children are entertained, it’s
a relaxing holiday for mom and dad.
The village offers a swimming pool, tennis,
trampolines and, of course, beach walks and fishing
are also popular family activities. Whale-spotting is
possible in season.
Off-site, guests can enjoy visits to local markets,
many scenic beaches, restaurants and Red Berry
Farm, all close by. Those willing to venture a little
further have all the delights of the beautiful Garden
Route to look forward to.
