types – Cape Fynbos, forest, riverine gorges and open grasslands
ensuring that the bird life is both varied and prolific.
Horse riding
Experience the freedom of exploring Wilderness by horseback with horse
riding into the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains.

For the somewhat less adventurous enjoy the many Mountain biking and hiking
trails that are suitable for all fitness levels - Wilderness provides
the perfect escape where one can rejuvenate the spirit and enjoy the natural
splendour of the Garden Route.
Swimming
And after an energetic morning, there is no better way of relaxing than
a picnic at the river and a quick dip in the refreshing rock pools.
In the area:
-Whale watching (August – Oct), paragliding and surfing are all
available along the Wilderness coastline, whilst the surrounding Garden
Route offers numerous championship golf courses, visit our Golf page for
more details on the golf courses such as Fancourt, Pezula, Pinnacle Point
and others in the area.
Day trip
There are wonderful day outing opportunities from the estate
Shark diving (Mossel Bay), bungi-jumping (Blaaukranz River – World’s
highest bungi-jump), caving (Cango Caves) and ostrich riding (Oudtshoorn).
Or take the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe, a lovely steam train, for a scenic trip
from George to Mossel Bay and visit the Diaz museum then enjoy a lunch
overlooking the bay before your return to enjoy sundowners at the Lodge.
Revitalizing treatment
We do not have a resident masseuse, but rather employ the services of
a fully qualified kinesiologist who is resident in Wilderness Heights
– unfortunately we cannot offer kinesiology here as the equipment
cannot travel, but we do offer Aromatherapy Massages or Electro-Magnetic
Therapy – so you can enjoy a soothing massage on the private deck
of your chalet whilst overlooking the unspoilt Wilderness National Park.
And then while you are in the mood to be pampered round it off with a
facial, a manicure and a pedicure. Perfect for the ladies while their
other half enjoys a round of golf at the nearby golf courses of Fancourt,
the Links and George Country Club.
Golf
Porcupine Pie Boutique Lodge is centrally situated along South Africa's
Garden Route and was recently voted as a top golf destination in Middle
East & Africa. There are a wonderful selection of golf courses including
Pinnacle Point, Oubaai, Fancourt (The Links, Montague, Outeniqua and Bramble
Hill courses), George Country Club, Pezula, Simola and Goose Valley.
We have an exclusive arrangement with the Garden Route Golf Academy whereby
they will arrange & host games at most Garden Route Golf Courses.
Johann Lourens is a qualified PGA Pro and in addition to being in a position
to assist in all aspects of the game, can accompany our guests on their
rounds of golf.
As we do not offer twin beds, we are not suited to all-male golf tour
groups, but rather to golfing couples. And if only one partner wishes
to play, we will host the other partner and make sure that they enjoy
all that Porcupine Pie Guest Lodge and the Garden Route have to offer.
