Virgin Holidays View
A truly great property, located off the beaten track and appointed in the most luxurious style, with pathways, shops and squares lending this resort a genteel village ambience, offset by clean, contemporary architectural design. The main draw here is the Ernie-Els designed Championship Golf Course, a challenge for all levels of skill and where if you’re lucky enough you may even sight a whale as you tee off! Positioned between the Indian Ocean and the majestic Outeniqua Mountains on the Garden Route in an area renowned for its pristine beaches and indigenous forests and nature reserves. Several dining options are available with the Cucina Restaurant open all day and offering breathtaking views from floor to ceiling windows of the Outeniqua Mountains, Oubaai Golf Course and the ocean, from either indoor or outdoor seating areas. There is superb food and attentive service from the hotels signature restaurant the Waterside Grill which is the perfect location to watch the sun set. You can retreat to the calming environment of the Freesia Spa. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, you can indulge in a wide range of body and facial treatments or have all your stress massaged away. Other more active pursuits on offer include a great running track alongside the golf course, tennis and squash courts, hiking trails, great cycle rides abound in the area and there are daily shuttles to picturesque Herolds Bay. Children aren’t forgotten about either with their own pool and a kids club too.
