A wonderful experience. Very warm and friendly staff and very knowledgeable and passionate about conservation and wildlife. The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff were able to accommodate special requirements. We saw every animal we wanted to and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The huts are small but fun.

This was one of the best properties we have stayed at. The attention to detail was phenomenal. There was not one thing we wished could have been better. The view, the gardens, the comfort, the games, the beds - everything was set up with our comfort in mind. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

What a wonderful place, probably our fifth or sixth visit over there the last 20 years. Safe, peaceful and in fact Belvedere is unchanging, the whole area highly controlled.
It’s Gods window, a place I am so happy and content. A wonderful place to stay.

Where to stay for 5 nights on the 'Garden Route'? Should we rove from one location to the next so we tick them off?
We stayed 4 nights here before taking 1 night on the route back to Cape Town. The lovely thing about the Cinnamon Boutique is that you can easily and safely walk into Wilderness town for dinner/lunch without the need to drive, and also the hotel is within easy reach of wonderful locations - Knysna Head & Lagoon, Wilderness Beach (try the Views Hotel for a drink), the walk up the...

Great view from the balcony to the ocean. Even it's loud, you won't here the sound of the sea while sleeping. Very clean and quiet, beach is not far away and also the drive to Knynsa doesn't take too long.
Hope to be there again any time

For a unique educational experience, consider visiting a local artisan market where children can learn about traditional crafts and perhaps even try their hand at creating something special. After a day of exploration, unwind in charming towns along the route, which are dotted with inviting family-friendly hotels that offer spacious accommodations and attentive service, ensuring that your family feels pampered and well taken care of throughout your stay.
