This was a relais et chateaux hotel with a well rated restaurant when we booked it. By the time we arrived, they had given up?? relais et chateaux membership and shut their restaurant. They said they had refreshed the property during a lengthy closure period, but it felt unrefreshed, dated, and empty to us, with very few other guests. A... More

Although situated just off the main N2 road between Plettenberg and Knysna, the location is beautifully quiet. We stayed three nights in one of the cottages on the estate. One of the factors that influenced our decision to stay here was the fact that there were three restaurants on site according to our information; one at Hunter’s, one at Tsala... More

Hotel is in a very beatiful surrounding with nice gardens and very spacious and well appointed rooms with comfortable beds. The place is understaffed and although staff was friendly, helpful and comptent when available one had to wait longer than necessary for a hotel at this level. Internet is only available in the main lounge and for the duration of... More

This is more like a 1 star hotel than a 5 star. Please do not stay here if you are used to staying at 5 star hotels as you will be very very disappointed! It is the worst place I have ever stayed in!!!!! I repeat DO NOT STAY HERE. More

There's not a lot to compare Hunter's with - it's fantastic staying in your own thatched cottage and wandering through beautiful gardens to luxuriate in a relaxing swim or to enjoy an exquisite meal in the restaurant. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. A great stay! PS My only niggle was that on 2 consecutive days I had to seek... More

This was a place of absolute luxury - it is just so relaxing - beautiful gardens and the most luxurious rooms! The food was good - especially the breakfasts. This hotel happened to be the half way point on our holiday and it turned out to be a wonderful place to re charge before going to the cape winelands! More

As we drove up to Hunters we realised that this was going to be a memorable stay in a beautiful hideaway location. Our thatched cottage suite was tastefully but very adequately furnished and the private sunny patio was a bonus. All the other facilties - pool, restaurants, internet etc. - were all excellent and the grounds are ideal for short... More

Taking the Garden Route we stayed for 3 nights at Hunters and were delighted with everything about the Hotel. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the pool area is very peaceful with several shaded structures around the pool to take shelter from the Sun.. The accommodation was a beautiful thatched lodge which was luxuriously furnished and had everything you could... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights but I wish it had been for longer. The place is so divine that you could stay for a week and not get bored.(Just a bit fatter due to the fabulous foods!!) It's a place to go if you enjoy beautiful gardens and surrounds, and relaxation. There are 2 great restaurants... More
