"We really enjoyed our short stay at Protea Wilds. I wish we could've stayed longer. It was nice to relax in the pool and enjoy the wonderful views. The communal braai area is a good idea if one wants to be social with the other guests. The room was clean, adequate and had everything we needed. Thank you and we will definitely recommend Protea Wilds to everyone who is going that way!"
