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.
