Hunters Country House, South Africa

Adam Chapman

This is an exquisite and entirely unique lodge. The tree houses are to die for and the location within the forest provides tranquillity and peace. It is top end accommodation for those looking for something special and very different from other places on the Garden Route.

This indeed is a 'country retreat'. Set in the most exquisite gardens I could have spent days here curled up with a book. While Hunters is in close proximity to the many activities on offer on the Garden Route it provides a welcome and quiet retreat at the end of a day of hectic sightseeing. The service and food are excellent and the rooms are decorated in an English country style with all modern amenities. It is a fantastic spot for both families and couples.

Location

Between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna on the Garden Route. Approximately 5 hour's drive from Cape Town, 45 min – 1 hour drive from George Airport and approximately 3 ½ hours to the Eastern Cape and Port Elizabeth Airport.

Highlights

  • Polished brasses around an inglenook fireplace, low beaming ceilings, gleaming silverware on an oak sideboard, and outside, a beautifully manicured garden with poppies, lavender and rose covered trellises made Hunter`s an award winning country retreat.

South Africa Review

I loved it. I did not think it was so developed and so clean and there were no potholes on the roads. My conclusion is that I was very ignorant about the country. The level of developement I foundw as far superior to what I had anticipated and the quality of the food was excellent. In terms of crime...
