Self Catering Accommodation
ABOUT
Nestled behind the dunes along the magnificent Wilderness coastline, Thatch Manor on 5th provides affordable self-catering accommodation to both leisure and business travellers. Hosted by Penny and Clive Tyson, this charming, coastal thatched house has two individual private suites ideal for that romantic getaway or a longer well-deserved break. Each suite has its own specific home away from home style with secure off-street parking.
Thatch Manor on 5th, conveniently situated just off the N2, is a short walk to the beach with trendy restaurants and shops just a brief drive away.
Wilderness is a small holiday town east of George on the well renowned Garden Route in the Western Cape. Sprawling stretches of white sandy beaches along the warm Indian Ocean coastline and picturesque hiking trails in the surrounding Outeniqua mountains, make this a most sought -after destination.

The kitchenettes are equipped for easy holiday cooking along with complimentary essentials like tea, coffee and sugar.
