On my last trip to Belize I took some time away from island life on Caye Caulker and went to travel in the jungle for a few days. The area I visited is called Cayo district. While staying in Ontario village with my friend Patrick’s family we walked to the next village. In the village of Blackman Eddy I had visited a German couple who is running a Lodge on my first trip to Belize. Due to leaving Cayo the same day it was a brief visit with a couple of minutes of talking to Peter and the promise to drop by whenever I am back in the area.
In hopes of this time having more time to talk to my fellow Germans Patrick and I set out on foot to get to Wolf’s Place.
This is Peter Wolf's Burger Restaurant, the best there is in Belize!
Coming around the first bend in the road in Blackman Eddy we spotted McWolf’s on the lefthand side.
Situated on a green hillside lot is not only the cute lil Restaurant serving up the best burgers in all of Belize, there is also Peter and Petra Wolf’s Lodge and Cabanas, the original Wolf’s Place itself!
On the grounds you find Peter and Petra Wolf’s house and 3 (soon to be 4) Thatch Cabanas, a barbeque area, outdoor shower and a Palapa Hammock area to relax under.Peter and Petra not only host tourists on their property, they also offer tours that range from tubing and cave exploring, to snorkeling, to diving to jungle and river tours. They have been in Belize for almost 6 years now and Wolf’s Place has by now established a fabulous reputation among travelers and locals likewise.
When Patrick and I arrived at the main gate we were greeted by three large dogs who barked up a frenzy but otherwise seemed nice. I guess they were just guarding their territory.
Once the dogs started barking, Peter looked out of the window in the main house and hollered he’d be right down. He remembered me from my former brief visit and invited us in to have a look at Wolf’s Place. While walking around the property he told me of his plans for the future. There will be a new road built from Spanish Lookout to Orange Walk which would take away most of the traffic that is now still running by Wolf’s Place.

In spring 2010 Peter is planning to build the third cabana on his property and wants to equip it with a kitchenette and a bathroom.
In the long run, once the road from Spanish Lookout to Orange Walk is built he is planning to further expand Wolf’s Place as there is no shortage in bookings for him. “In all honesty”, Peter tells me, “I am booked well into the year of 2010 and coming to an end with my capacity to host visitors. It is the only logical thing to expand.”
Despite the ambitious plans I have no doubt that Wolf’s Place will not lose it’s charme and comfort, being a family owned and run business who does not cater to mass tourism but small individual travel groups seeking an experience off the beaten path.

I cannot find enough words of praise for the Wolfs as they have made me incredibly comfortable while I spent time with them. Peter had me taste his fantastic wine (secret receipe) and had me guessing what it is made of. It tastes like a semi sweet white wine. If you visit Peter, you HAVE to taste it!
Patrick and I spent the whole afternoon with Peter on the patio drinking his wine, eating sugar cane and talking about anything and everything. He showed me the new german guidebook on Belize he is publishing as well as let me play with his 3 dogs who are all very friendly despite all the barking at the gate.I promise you will feel instantly at home with Peter and Petra Wolf! They are the best!
