Attentive host, incredible view!
We had a great stay at The Tops! We felt incredibly welcome and Tom is a very attentive host who made sure every aspect of our stay was perfect. A very cozy place to spend a few nights - and not to mention the view! Also the breakfast was excellent and they even altered the menu for me when they found out I don't eat meat! What a treat. Highly recommend!

Just a quick stay at the Tops in Wilderness but must say it was a lovely stay with an incredible view from the spacious balcony. Tom checked me in and was such a great guy. Gave me rundown on everything in Wilderness. He was super friendly and helpful and gave me a later checkout. It’s a up a hill but super close to the charming town. Highly recommend The Tops for your stay in Wikderness

The hotel is in a great location with beautiful views. We were also very thankful for the lift to get our cases up to the room.
A very warm welcome from Tom and lots of local knowledge of things to do and places to eat.
Our room was rustic and fairly basic in furnishings and felt in need of an update plus some tlc.
Our kitchen was very well equipped for any self catering needs including an air fryer!
Overall our room was great value and Tom is great!

Amazing stay
The owner couldn’t do enough - truly amazing service and beautiful room and views. I also liked the cat and the birds which came to visit the bird feeder!

Belle vue, petit déjeuner correct bien que peu varié d'un jour à l'autre.
La chambre est très mal insonorisée, dans le passage de la guest house qui laisse peu de place au calme et à l'intimité. Rapport qualité-prix peu intéressant hélas.
Dommage, je voulais un endroit calme pour pouvoir me reposer, mes nuits ont été courtes à cause du bruit environnant et du fait que le petit-déjeuner ne soit accessible que de 8 à 9 heures. Cela laisse peu de place au calme, repos et grasse matinée.
Je n'y retournerai pas.

Au top
Rien que pour la vue, on oublie les 40 marches. ( il y a un monte-bagages). Nous avons été très bien reçu et Tom nous a donné plein de bons conseils. Nous avons dormi avec le bruit de l’océan et le champ des oiseaux. Le lit est grand et confortable. Lit à baldaquin…parquet en bois exotique, la maison est pleine de charme. On a l’impression d’habiter dans les arbres.

Interessantes Guesthouse mit Weitblick
Eine interessante Erfahrung - es war „die Höhe“ - tolle Sicht mit Blick auf Berge und Meer. Tom ist „Mädchen für Alles“ und hat es wunderbar gemacht. Ein Haus zum Wohlfühlen - rustikal, ich mag so etwas. Mein Morgenkaffee war lecker - das Obst köstlich.
