Hunter's Country House, just 10km from Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route, is owned and manged by the Hunter family. This country house hotel is an oasis of tranquillity, a romantic retreat, set in beautiful gardens and overlooking the indigenous forest of the Garden Route. Suberb cuisine partnered with excellent South African wines make dinner in the candlelit dining room an elaborate, lenghy and truly memorable affair which will be remembered as a highlight of your stay at Hunter's Country House.
The original homestead at Hunter's is full of character and charm, luxuriously furnished with fine antiques and sumptuous fabrics. The romantic candlelit dining room is really a series of dining areas so that guests have a sense of privacy. The food is delicious. Outside there's a second, more informal garden restaurant open to the garden so that you can enjoy the views. This is ideal for more relaxed family dining. Hunter's Country House is set within a 90 acre forested estate with two marked walking trails on the estate.
Within the beautiful gardens of Hunter's are 23 luxurious thatched suites, each one individually decorated and designed for comfort and privacy. The Orchard and Garden suites have open fireplaces, delightful bathrooms, and private patios and are furnished with antiques restored on the estate. Premier suites offer even greater comfort. The Classic suites, each with private plunge pool, separate lounge-dining room, and indoor-outdoor showers, are a real treat. The Forest Suite is unashamedly indulgent, with a separate sitting room with hi-fi system & DVD, dining room, butler's kitchen and private plunge pool.
