Plan your visit

Wilderbliss is remote and self-catered. A little planning makes the difference between a good stay and a great one.

Wilderbliss is a self-guided wilderness stay. Guests must bring their own clothing, footwear, food, safety equipment and specialist gear for any planned outdoor activities. Hunting, fishing and river equipment is not supplied.
