We drove up up and up and got to a little area known as Hoekwil. If you want accommodation in Knysna or Wilderness area and want good accommodation, with great hosts, that are eager to assist where-ever possible, feel free to contact Hildesheim!

Our road trip started with a overnight in Hildesheim Guest Cottage (1/05/13). A warm welcome and a very classy Garden Cottage. This is no four star holiday destination--it should be classed as a five star venue. The beautiful birds and the trees are part of the restful atmosphere. Tony and Vanessa can be proud of their efforts. We should have... More

We recently embarked on a road trip of discovery. We travelled through various places of interest and eventually arrived at Wilderness. We had no clue of where we wanted to stay ,but we knew it had to be a quiet place ,away from busy roads , and also self catering-I was very tired of B&B's . We found Hildesheim on... More

Mid road trip with 4 adults and a toddler we came across Hildesheim. What a relief. Tony gave us by far the best service I have ever encountered while travelling. What a legend! We'll definitely return.

For those who are asking themselves whether the lovely photo of a palm-fringed pool overlooking a valley adequately represents the rest of Hildesheim Guest House – we are pleased to confirm that it most certainly does. The self-catering cottage is private, spacious, comfortable and equipped with many thoughful details. The host, Tony, is always accessible but never intrusive. The location... More

We spent 2 enjoyable nights at the Hildesheim Guesthouse. Tony, the host was extremely helpful with suggestions for excursions and meals. Our room had a comfortable bed and small terrace. The bathroom was quite small. A nice touch was the home made risks put out to have with our morning coffee. It would have been nice to have had some... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our Guest House. It is nice to hear that you enjoyed the freshly baked rusks and thank you for making the point about the milk! Our bathrooms are relatively small compared to the spacious room sizes, the original 1975 design makes it difficult to change. We hope the fluffy white robes, slippers... More

Dear Guests, Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review of our Guest House and the mention of our local Village Shop, close enough to the busy attractions in Wilderness but 'far' enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of Hoekwil.

Our 2 bedroom self catering cottage at Hildesheim was private, quiet, spacious, luxurious and very clean. Tony and Amanda have the hospitality gene, and couldn't have been more helpful - always available for advice on local sites, had all the maps and brochures we needed to plan our stay, and made us feel right at home.
