The house

A beach house on Wilderness Beach

Set on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world — we may be biased — Dune Beach House is a rare taste of paradise on the Garden Route, and a refreshingly informal place to unwind.

A rare taste of paradise.

With spectacular views of the Indian Ocean, Dune Beach House is the ideal place to relax, unwind and enjoy the best of what the Garden Route has to offer. Our elegantly decorated guestrooms are bright and airy, and tastefully furnished to a consistently high standard of comfort, luxury and convenience.

On the beach

Right on Wilderness Beach.

We have direct access to the endless Wilderness Beach, where you can walk for miles. Beachfront sundecks with loungers look straight out over the sand and the surf, so the ocean is always in view.

Big skies

Whales, dolphins and the wide Indian Ocean.

Whales and dolphins can be viewed directly from the sea-facing bedrooms, the dining room, the beachfront sundecks and the timber deck at the poolside.

In season — roughly June to November — southern right whales come close to shore. Dolphins can be seen throughout the year, often playing in the surf.

Mornings

Breakfast with a view.

A full English breakfast buffet, with delicious extras, is available every morning. Our sumptuous breakfasts are served in the casual elegance of our dining room, overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Pool, lounge & garden

Unhurried afternoons, cosy evenings.

Our private swimming pool sparkles invitingly beside a sunny timber deck. When the afternoon cools, the light-filled guest lounge — full of plants, art and comfortable corners, with a fireplace for cooler evenings — and the leafy garden courtyard are made for slow hours.
