The Old Trading Post is a guest house in Duiwerivier, Wilderness. The guest house occupies a restored former trading post on the edge of the Wilderness lakes wetlands.
Location
The property is at The Lakes Road, Duiwerivier, Wilderness. Wilderness is a small village between a long surf beach and the Touw River, at the western end of the lakes district that runs on toward Sedgefield. The Garden Route National Park surrounds it, George and its airport are about fifteen minutes west, and Knysna is roughly forty-five minutes east.
Wilderness is on the N2 about fifteen minutes east of George, and George Airport is the nearest arrival point at roughly twenty minutes away. The village is small and walkable, but a car is needed for the lakes, the passes and the rest of the Garden Route. Our Wilderness destination guide covers the area in more detail.

Booking this property
Availability, room types, rates and cancellation terms are set by the property and its booking provider, not by us. Wilderness is small and fills quickly over the December and January school holidays and at Easter, when rates peak and minimum stays are common. Rain falls through the year rather than in one season. Spring and autumn usually give the best balance of weather, availability and price.
