Overview of Hunter’s Country House
The original thatched homestead is set among beautiful gardens against the backdrop of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, offering a peaceful and tranquil retreat. Hunter’s Country House provides exceptional service and attention to detail. Relax in the homely atmosphere of the antique furnished lounge or outside by the swimming pool. Stroll through the estate’s private forest and enjoy the sights and songs of the plentiful birds or cocoon yourself in your suite for an in-room massage and pamper session.
Five golf courses are within easy access of the estate, while the golden beaches of Plettenberg Bay lie just 10 minutes away. Hunter’s Country House welcomes children of all ages and has a recreation area, including a shallow swimming pool, games room and thatch-covered sandpit, especially for them.
This is a welcome stop on the ever-popular Garden Route, especially if you and your family are undertaking a self-drive vacation from Cape Town.
