The hotel

Fancourt Hotel is definitely one of South Africa’s premier hotels. Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, rooms are split between the 150 year old Manor House, which has been completely remodelled to create a boutique hotel and the main hotel, which effortlessly combines modern luxury with traditional elegance. A golf estate – Outeniqua and Montagu 18-hole Golf Courses are two of the finest you’ll encounter – a must for any enthusiast. Meanwhile, those intent on a spot of pampering are also in for a treat. Rituals inspired by the four elements: air, water, fire and earth form the basis of all therapies, ensuring you leave your tranquil surrounds feeling balanced and on top of the world! Dining can be as formal or as casual as you please. There are several restaurants to choose from, including La Cantina, which is ideal for all the family. For that special occasion or just because you want to spoil yourselves, Henry White’s dedicates itself to excellence in the culinary arts – open five days a week, make sure you experience it at least once. When it comes to sightseeing, there’s plenty to do in the surrounding area, including Garden Route excursions, a trip to the stunning Knysna Waterfront and trips into the wilderness to spot the 'Big Five'.

I spent five nights at Fancourt last week with three friends as we played golf at Fancourt and elsewhere. The hotel is incredible, the setting and views amazing. The golf courses are fantastic and our last game was on the Links which was a very special experience. As a visitor from the UK the trip was exceptional value and I will be back

We’ve been fortunate to do a number of golf tours in recent years. I thought some of the best courses & resorts we played/stayed in New Zealand & Australia were hard to top, but Fancourt BLEW THEM OUT OF THE WATER. If you’re reading reviews Fancourt is under consideration. If you can, just do it. You’re worth it!
