Given that it has been welcoming guests since 1924, the Fairy Knowe Hotel has certainly earned its affectionate nickname of “The Grand Dame of Wilderness”. Having spent time there while timing a race in the area, Team #FinishTime can attest to the fact that as time has proven, it’s an outstanding place to stay.
For a start, the Fairy Knowe hotel is an ideal base from which to explore the Garden Route. From pristine beaches and indigenous forests to extreme sports, hiking trails, birding opportunities and much more, The Garden Route is a holiday destination second to none.
The room rate at Fairy Knowe Hotel includes a five-star buffet breakfast in the onsite Amare Vita restaurant, served between 7am and 10am daily. Our rooms had king-sized beds and tea/coffee making facilities, as well as glass sliding doors that led to our private patio.
One of the factors of their stay that our team members proclaimed to be unforgettable is the breathtaking views. Being situated on the banks of the Touw River, the Fairy Knowe Hotel is infinitely Instagrammable – and guests get to make free use of kayaks if they have the time to do so.
If you’re planning a trip to Wilderness for work, leisure or a race – you’d be hard-pressed to find a better place to stay than Fairy Knowe Hotel.
