“Anew Resort Wilderness Garden Route has the location going for it, nestled amidst the beauty of Wilderness and its surroundings. While some might find the facilities a touch dated, its proximity to local attractions like the beach and hiking trails gives it undeniable appeal. It seems like a place with potential, though management consistency would elevate the experience significantly.”
