Mountain Magic Hoekwil

Outdoor bath and wooden chips on the outdoor area. It felt so homey.

Stove didn't work properly - couldn't make coffee

Loved the location, views, beautiful nature and amenities. Getting the kolkol going on a beautiful day with views of the ocean was amazing. Loved that there were aircons and electric blankets so we were very comfortable in warm or colder conditions

Nothing to complain about, we were so comfortable and appreciated the wood provided for the kolkol. Only thing we noticed was the mirror in the bathroom was very small and too high so we couldn’t see ourselves in the bathroom (and I don’t think I’m that short haha) so I had to use the mirrors in the other unit. Just an inconvenience not a train smash!

Serene!

Location, facilities, comfort.

Too short stay.

An amazing place to chill

Its such a pretty location, the views are out of this world and the unit itself is so lovely

No complaints at all

We enjoyed the view, the location and everything about it. We would love to come back one day. This place is very special

We absolutely loved the views of the mountains and the sea, as well as the privacy. All the small details and comforts made such a difference. The hot tub, beautiful sunsets, and fully equipped kitchen made our stay so special.

Nothing!

Love the view and the hot tub.

The sliding door was noisy when the wind was blowing. Easily remedied though.

Very cool location, amazing views. Loved Wilderness - amazing nature, nice town. Go canoeing! Jess was super helpful

Really comfy bed and bedding! Hammock Cosy lounge with fireplace Fully equipped kitchen Aloe flowers on the table - small touches! Very friendly and helpful host

A recycling bin option could be useful!

we stayed just one night at this beautiful place- we wished for more..☺️ mountain magic hoekwil is placed at an outstanding location with fantastic views over wilderness. our room was super lovely with an excellent view from bed and the bathroom- so waking up here is simply amazing! 🤩 also the outside area is outstanding, with its braai and the hot tub on a ‚second‘ area- we absolutely loved this peaceful place. jess is super responsive & we can truly recommend a stay here- hope to see it again someday! 🫶🏽

Wauw wat een geweldige plek dit. Het uitzicht is práchtig, zowel op de oceaan als op de bergen. Het huisje waarin wij zaten had een (splinternieuwe) hot tub in de tuin, heerlijk. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien en de bedden slapen heerlijk. Vanuit hier kun je wandelen in Wildernis, maar bijvoorbeeld ook cagediven in Mosselbaai (klein uurtje rijden). Dat laatste hebben wij gedaan, een unieke ervaring en kans om de witte haai te zien. Ik zou deze plek aan iedereen aanbevelen!

We had the most incredible weekend staying at Mountain Magic in Hoewil. Honestly, one of our best stays ever. Everything about the place was just right — peaceful surroundings, beautiful views, and a perfect escape from the busy routine. The highlight for us was definitely the hot tub. Sitting there, relaxing and taking in the scenery, was something special and made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway where you can truly switch off and recharge, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!

everything were Perfect !

The Location was exquisite The place was well equipped for all needs and Jess the host was very helpful and went the extra mile for us for a few unforeseen circumstances that arose. The good ground coffee was a lovely touch. We were only there for 1 night, but it would have been a beautiful place to relax for a few days

The hot tub was very disappointing as it really only got luke warm after at least 7 hours of fueling the fire..We then gave up as it was already 11:30pm

Sun birds! The View! Sunset! It was all outstanding

I liked the space, the view, and the calmness of nature around us. The space had everything we were looking for for a couple's break away from city life.

The view, hot tub, outside bath, hammock and outside shower.

Nothing.

Everything!

Amazing location - peaceful and connecting with nature. You have view of the ocean and the river and all facilities to make your stay comfortable.

Nothing - it was perfect

Absolutelty magical. The location can't be beaten. The peace and quite that comes with this place takes your body, mind and soul to a whole new place

Nudda

Loved the KolKol and the Fairy Lights. Beautiful evening views and sunset from the deck.

The outside deck chairs were a little uncomfortable and too low, so when seated outside you don't really have the full view as the balcony is in the way.

Best mountain place in the area. Perfect for people likes outdoorliving and camping. The mountain view is stunning and having a hotpot makes it even more magical. We had stated longer if we could.

Loved it, views for miles of both the ocean and mountains. Fantastic stay

Beautiful setting with spectacular views over ocean, Touwsriver and mountains. Self catering unit and equipped with everything you need. We especially enjoyed the KolKol Woodfired Tub.

Nothing

The view was just breathtaking. The kitchen was also well equipped . The area is very quiet as well and there are nice bbq facilities. The wifi was good. AC in the rooms. We enjoyed looking at the birds.

Maybe a TV and laundry facilities would be good add ons. The spiders around.

The views of the ocean from the deck is amazing, especially at sunset. This unit was very comfortable, private and well equipped. Stargazing from the hot tub at night was our favourite.

The view! The cleanliness

Location is brilliant. Set high up, surrounded by nature and peace and quiet.

Enjoyed it as is.

Stunning location - the best views we had from any of the properties we stayed out in SA. Looking over the ocean and down into the forests and valleys was spectacular. We saw eagles and an owl while there. Location was also perfect to get to everything we wanted to do in Wilderness and the two closest restaurants and cafe (all under 5min drive) were all highlights too, felt very homely.

Der Blick war atemberaubend

The self-catering unit had everything (and more!) needed for a comfortable stay. The evenings were colder than expected, but the extra cozy blankets kept us snug at night. Loved walking around the natural garden with flowers, birds and butterflies, and enjoying the slow sunsets from the deck!

The view was spectacular!

Would have liked the wine glasses to be glass not plastic.

The view was amazing, unexpected since we could see the sea. We had a great sunset. The kitchen is really well equipped.

We appreciated to have a hot tub, but you have to turn it one by yourself, and it takes 4 hours to be warm. The place was really clean, but since you are in the middle of nature, you need to be aware of spiders. (Especially rain spiders that are armless but quite impressive for European standards).

De rust en vooral het uitzicht

De badkamer kan een update gebruiken.

Just everything is wow

If i must, say something is that the hot tub takes 4 to 5 hrs to warm up

Lovely views, lovely sunset a get away with everything you need.

Amazing views. Private units and well equipped. Lacked nothing in my opinion. Just wished our plans allowed us to stay longer... Will definitely recommend

This was by far the best stay I had for my time off. Mountain magic exceeded all my expectations and more! The location was perfect, Great view for a beautiful sunset, the hot tub is perfectly located for a good peaceful view. The braai facilities were excellent, every aspect of my stay here was perfect, from the check in, to check out! The night was quite cold, and I though what are the odds of having electric blankets - and they did!!! Thank you so much for an amazing stay!

There is nothing that I can say was bad... everything was great! I would love to have this as my home!

It’s located in a really beautiful area. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Would only suggest more outside lighting but other than that we had a lovely time.

Amazing views, this little luxury container had everything and more. I enjoyed the private hot tub right on the edge, show casing an amazing view the mountains.

We encountered a couple of spiders in our room, including a big Rain-Spider. It was a bit uncomfortable to fall asleep knowing that there might be more lurking around.

Location is great. Spent a night on our trip down the garden route. Should have stayed longer. Remote location but still close to beach, hikes and great resturants

Don't park in area reserved for 4x4. Difficult to get out if area is wet.

TH VIEWS ARE EXCEPTIONAL

A stunning location and nice, quirky accommodation. You can't beat the view and the nearby attractions.

We only had 2 nights

I loved the location of this beautiful property, scenic views all around. We were completely engulfed by nature

The mountain views was just breathtaking

The bathroom was separated from the bedrooms. You have to go outside to use the bathroom.

First of all: yes, the views really are this incredible!!! The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. We loved having our coffee on the porch overlooking the wilderness. The hosts were very friendly. Communication was great and instructions were clear. Accomodation was clean and very stylish, beds were also very comfy. We were very grateful that they had heated matresses as it got quite chilly during the night. Very agreeable stay with the most amazing views.

The endless views, absolutely breathtaking! My family and I had a great Christmas there, thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and just general feel of the home. Megan was incredible at giving recommendations and answering our general questions.

If all the rooms interlinked that would’ve been amazing, but this is nitpicking and only because we have small kids, as this would’ve made it a little easier during night time.

The views were amazing and the containers were tastefully decorated and had everything we needed.

That the rooms weren’t connected. We were traveling with 2 young kids which we couldn’t leave alone in a room. It wouldn’t discourage us from staying again though and I understand that connecting the 2 rooms isn’t really possible.

creepy crawlies🤣

Everything! An amazing place to stay, even more private than it looks in the pictures. The views over the river and to the sea are incredible, the outdoor bath is a great novelty, loads of parking. A nice easy 20 min walk you can do in the grounds. The yoga deck is fab for chilling or doing a workout.

Beautiful and calm location with amazing views. it was a very relaxing location. There were also good amenities and the rooms are nice made.

The view of the mountains and looking over the river was amazing, aswell as the hiking trails through the property was fairly challanging which we really enjoyed.

There were a few things that was not mentioned on the discription like the bathroom was separate from the main container. Photos of the place that we were staying at were completely diffrent, they moved the hot tub around the other house which meant that we no longer had that wonderful view.

Everything, we booked it for elopement and honeymoon and it far exceeded our expectations.

Incredible views

The views are amazing!

The rooms themselves could use a bit of a revamp. And there was no private pool or hottub in front of the unit as advertised.

What a great idea to turn containers into accommodations! We had absolutely everything we needed for our short stay, really enjoyed it. The views were beautiful. Shame it rained and we didn’t get to use the outdoor space much, but I can imagine how lovely it is when it’s warm.

The only downside was that our two-bedroom accommodation consisted of two separate containers one of which didn’t have a bathroom or a kitchen so we had to run to the other container to use the facilities which wasn’t much fun in the rain.

Location was incredible. Views are unreal. Exactly as advertised and really clean. Enjoyable stay!

Containers curtains were a little thin / no curtains in the other container.

Everything was perfect, suggestion, hand held shower head needed at inside bath. Outside shower head needs replacing. All else was perfect

The view, unique setup. Quietness special touches in the rooms.

Lay-out for second cabin/room need to get out in cold to get to bathroom. No mirror in bedrooms to blow dry hair ect. The fire place cause alot of smoke inside the second cabin and is quite old but was still nice to have and the wood supplied was very much appreciated If rain can’t braai even when cold and wind as no coverage. Think cabin 2 layout is beautiful and would definitely book there again
