South Africa`s Garden Route is world famous for its emerald hills of indigenous forest, lakes, lagoons and rivers. The dusty gold beaches, hidden caves and temperate climate make it an ideal destination. It is here, between the lagoon and the Indian Ocean, where you`ll find the Protea Hotel Wilderness Resort. Each of the comfortably appointed 155 luxury rooms and suites are en-suite, with air conditioning and colour TV. Sporting and leisure activities include lazing on the beach or at one of the hotels` three pools, (one heated), a health spa, tennis, squash, a bowling green and miniature golf. Play outdoor chess, visit the Kingfisher Trail or the Tsitsikamma forest, the famous Cango Caves, ostrich and crocodile farms, or cruise along the Knysna lagoon with champagne and fresh oysters.
