Clairewood, a 16-hectare estate, is a place of quiet contemplation, where silence and solitude is measured by the harmony and tranquility of the Outeniqua Mountains and surrounding indigenous forest which provides habitat to nearly 200 species of birds and wildlife such as monkeys, baboons, bushbuck, porcupine, bushpig and occasional otters.

Clairewood is situated in Wilderness which lies in the heart of the Garden Route, and is only 5 kilometers from vast stretches of beach.

The area is one of the most diverse and scenically attractive areas in the Garden Route and is the place "Where the forest meets the sea".

Wilderness lies 15 km east of George, on the Cape Garden Route between the Kaaimans River and the Goukamma Nature Reserve. It is renowned for its tranquility, wetlands and stormy seas.

Wilderness overlooks not only the sea, but also the placid lagoon, the Serpentine, which meanders between the Touws River, Island Lake, Langvlei and Rondevlei. Island Lake is a favourite water sport venue.

Five rivers and five lakes, two estuaries and 18 km of Southern Cape coastline are protected within the 2500 ha Wilderness National Park. This rare and sensitive eco-system is home to a wealth of water birds.
