Hunter’s Country House

Hunter's Country House is an exclusive family-owned retreat, set in the heart of the magnificent Garden Route of the Western Cape. Situated west of South Africa's premier resort town of Plettenberg Bay with its endless golden beaches and magnificent indigenous forests, and just east of the lagoon town of Knysna, the hotel is surrounded and framed by the majestic Tsitsikamma Mountains.

Property Details

The Hunter’s first fell in love with Pear Tree Farm in 1979 and with dedication they have transformed this farm into a beautiful country estate. The gracious, original homestead is reminiscent of the traditional country architecture of the region. In the extensive gardens surrounding the manor house are 18 luxury guest suites, each one individually decorated and designed for the absolute comfort and privacy that one would expect from a Relais & Chateaux property. All suites and cottages have en suite bathrooms with both bath and shower, ceiling fan, mini bar, safe, television, tea and coffee-making facilities, a telephone and a hairdryer. The five different accommodation types are individually decorated with antique furnishings and fireplaces, private patios and forest views.

Hunter’s Country House welcomes children of all ages. Pumba’s Garden includes a playhouse of videos, books, Play Doh, toys, games, art supplies and much more. It offers full baby-changing facilities, a small kitchen and opens out onto a luscious garden, which includes a splash pool, Jungle Gym and a sheltered sandpit. Children under the age of eight are restricted to the use of the pool in Pumba’s Garden only. From light snacks, fruit, beverages and ice cream, to diapers and sun block, Pumba’s Play House has been carefully stocked to ensure that your precious ones have everything they need for uninterrupted fun!

This multi-award winning property is the flagship of the Hunter Hotel Group and defines the benchmark for sumptuous country living, exemplary service and acclaimed gourmet cuisine. Three intimate Baronial dining rooms trimmed with silver and candlelight are the perfect setting for a fine diner. The wine cellar houses some of the Cape’s finest wines while the sun lounge and main lounge, with its upstairs library and antique fireplace, add to the charm of the main house. A sun-drenched conservatory is ideal for hearty breakfasts and seats up to 50 guests for functions.
