Since 1989 under the careful stewardship of Ian Hunter, Hunter Hotels has become one of the foremost collections of boutique hotels in the famed Garden Route of South Africa, which stretches from Cape Town along the Indian Ocean coast to Port Elizabeth.

Internationally acclaimed and catering for discerning travellers who cherish peace, impeccable service and immaculate attention to detail in beautiful surroundings, each Hunter Hotel is unique – no cookie-cutter approach here.

Set in malaria-free, year-round locations, they are ideal for honeymooners and couples marking a memorable occasion or who are yearning for accommodation that is stylish but also slightly off the beaten track. Gorah Elephant Camp near Port Elizabeth will allow you to recover the romance of safari, the Tsala Treetop Lodge in the beach playground of Plettenberg Bay transports you into the forest canopy while the Country House at Hunters near Harkerville exudes an unmistakable old-world charm.

At Hunter Hotels, staff are handpicked for their professionalism, charm and talent. They strive everyday to make every guest’s stay as unforgettable an experience as possible.
