Ideally located on the Garden Route, Hunter's Country House makes the perfect base from which to explore this stunning area. Hunter's is an exclusive family owned retreat set in magnificent gardens, surrounded by indigenous forest set against the backdrop of the Tsitsikamma mountains. Hunter's Country House is a member of Relais & Chateaux and therefore an excellent standard of service is assured.
Extensive, manicured gardens house 21 individually decorated en suite cottages and suites. Each offer homely comforts and privacy. Breakfast is best enjoyed in the sun-drenched conservatory or perhaps relaxing by the pool.
Within the grounds there is a relaxing pool area or, for the more energetic explore the forest trails and garden walks. Massage and reflexology can be arranged in your suite for any aching muscles. For the younger members of the family there is a fully supervised recreation area. Cuisine at Hunter's is one of the highlights of your stay - food is prepared combining fresh local ingredients, whilst picnics can also be arranged to ensure that you make the most of your days of exploration.

Guest Testimonial
First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
