Our last days in Wilderness

Feb. 21st – 22nd: One of our favourite lunch destinations is Fynboshoek Cheese Farm which is 2 1/2 hours from Wilderness. We decided that we didn’t want to drive that distance so we hired John (Wilderness Express) and combined a tour with our lunch plans. This worked out so well as John introduced us to sites along the way that we would never have found on our own. He was knowledgable of the area, accommodating and entertaining so the drive did not seem long at all. We left at 9 a.m. and arrived back at the apartment at 7:30 p.m. – we did lots of sightseeing along the way. Larry especially loved it as he could enjoy the scenery, have wine with his lunch, and relax knowing he did not have to drive us back.

Fynboshoek Farm Restaurant is a rustic, hidden gem. Alje, the owner, prepares and serves a variety of raw Fynboshoek goat and cow milk cheeses with freshly baked breads and homegrown garden salads. Farm to table at its best – so fresh and delicious. We brought our own wine, Cederberg Chenin Blanc, which is our current favourite white. We have been to Fynboshoek many times so we wondered if it would still be as good as we remembered – it definitely was!

Our time in Wilderness has come to an end. When we decided to stay in Wilderness for 13 days, we didn’t know if it would be too quiet as we normally stay in Knysna or Plettenberg Bay. Without question, Wilderness was the right decision. We loved our apartment at Wilderness Waters because of its close proximity to the beach, restaurants and the small grocery store – we didn’t need to use our car unless we wanted to do a day trip. Ruan, the Owner of Wilderness Waters, was a delight – always a smile and available to assist as needed. Thank you Ruan for a wonderful 13 days. We will return!
