We stayed with Jon for a week in February - made to feel very welcome.  Our room was spacious, clean and the view was stunning.  Heaven.  Jon was so kind arranging taxis and restaurant bookings as well as local information.  Lovely welcoming pool.  We could not have stayed anywhere better for the last week of out holiday in S A.  Hopefully we will be able to return again.

Wonderful relaxing stay

Had a great stay at Jon’s place. He was a wonderful welcoming host with a great sense of humour. Our room was spotlessly clean and delightfully decorated with views over the ocean and even dolphins swimming right out in the bay. The pool area is a little haven of tranquility and great for dip on a hot day. The breakfast provided was amazing and the little madeleines a light and fluffy treat. Jon recommended some great places for dinner for which I will write a separate review. Overall two very happy travellers and would return here in a heartbeat. 

Lovely stay

Second year in a row at John‘s shining waters for paragliding in Wildernes with some friends. And again it was a really nice time there. Everything was clean and breakfast every day with a view to the sea at John‘s breakfast deck. After Paragliding the landing beer at the pool.... what can be better? 

Happy to know Shining Water and having John and his two lovely Dogs as friends now. We will be back!

If you want to have a great time with the possibility to start and land right in front of you house that is the place to go. But it is also a good place to start daily tours to nice places around Wildernes or even Knysa or Tsitsikama. You can reach also the Knysna Elephant park and outshoorn safari park.

Paragliding in January 2020

We recently (November 2019) spent two wonderful nights at Shining Waters, a lovely bed and breakfast location in Wilderness along the Cape's Garden Route. Our room was lovely and bright, and the views from all windows were breathtaking. A very comfortable bed, and the room was also equipped with the makings for coffee and tea. A full breakfast was included, with hot items made to order as well as fresh local fruits and made-that-morning madeleines.We had our breakfast on a lovely patio overlooking an inviting pool. Jon is a wonderful host, and he and his staff were so friendly and helpful.  We look forward to coming back again!

Fabulous views

Stayed for two nights Wish it could have been longer Wilderness is a beautiful area but we didn’t want to leave the fabulous balcony attached to our room The view was gorgeous watched the dolphins swimming past Jon made us so welcome along with the pooches Standard was excellent room clean breakfast amazing beautifully decorated Jon arranged some lovely restaurant choices for us If you get the chance make this your stop in wilderness

What a gem

Perfect location in Wilderness. Direct at the sea. For paragliders it is possible to launch and land direct in front of the house. The owner and staff is great. With a fantastic breakfast you will start a perfect day in Wilderness. 
Thanks John, Lisa, Jane and Team for the unforgetable time at Shining Waters. I´ll be back ;-)

Perfect location to stay in Wilderness

My husband and I spent a few nights at Shining Waters Guest house during December and we had the most amazing time. From the clean, beautiful rooms with amazing sea views to excellent coffee and a freshly prepared breakfast every morning. Perfect location, we even saw whales and dolphins from out balcony. Jon is an excellent host and he has a real passion for his Guesthouse and his guests, the staff are also really friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this guesthouse.

Incredible stay at Shining Waters!

The last few days I stayed at Shining Waters. The location is beautiful! You have a magnificent view of the sea and the beach is within a few minutes walking distance. The beach is quiet and there is no waste.

The room I had was nice and very clean. Every morning I could enjoy a delicious, fresh breakfast. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I would highly recommend this guest house if you want to stay in Wilderness!

Excellent!

I waited until after breakfast before writing this review. First of all, everything was to me as stated on their website with a touch of great service. Jon seemed very passionate about what he does and occasionally cracks a joke, which made me feel at home. This venue is set very beutifully and you can see and hear the sea, which is walking distance ONLY if you don't mind taking down the steep set of wooden stairs going down to the rocky beach below. But as stated in the well-organised file in your room, a swimning beach is really not far to drive to. If yiu choose wilderness, bear in mind its name. You might not encounter wild animals, but there will be birds crossing the road if you walk far enough. Getting back to the guest house, I felt the service was wonderful, the host showed a lot of interest (for the sake of making your stay more pleasant) For me personally, I would have liked an upper room, but having stayed alone, I would have to consider the price and other guests - but even my ground level room had a bit of sea view and was beautifully furnished as I expect any good guest house to be. In the end I can fully recommend this place for a nice relaxing time - even it it is just for listening to the waves crash when you go to sleep. The wi-fi is good, but not in my room, but then again, you don't need too much wi fi in your room when you are on holiday. I just needed to go upstairs for wi fi coverage, but that was the only thing that was a bit of an effort. For drinking water, I would recommend you buy some at the local Garage, which is really not too far (I could easily walk there) -  PS and the pool was nice and clean too ;-)
