Fantastic country house, staff cannot do enough for you and the location and grounds are so good. It is blessed with 3 wonderful restaurants. We will definitely return
John
This is a unique and very beautiful group of building, the most helpful staff, extremely well run, with excellent restaurant facilities.
Kieron
Loved this relaxing hotel. Such a friendly welcome after a long journey. Loved the cottages and the space, as well as the open fire and private patio.
Good food offering from three restaurants on site, as well as room service.

Rod
Booked to stay here for 2 nights after reading the reviews and we are so glad we did. From the moment we checked in and being greeted in the lounge with a drink and then being escorted to our room was such a nice touch. The grounds are beautiful and we wished we could have just stayed here for the 2 days and relaxed but we had plans in Knysna and Plettenberg. We had dinner in Zinzi and thoroughly enjoyed it and the breakfast was very good.
The best thing about Hunters is their staff though. I wish I had made a note of all the names but Golli who greeted us was so lovely as was Ace when we had drinks by the firepit. Our breakfast waitress was amazing too but I did not get her name.
We will definitely be back as loved the place.

A gorgeous property and attentive staff.
Dawn
The gardens at Hunters are spectacular! Just know if you stay in rooms one or two, they have a smell of mold because they are historic. The smell was unpleasant, but not enough to make us second guess our choice to stay at Hunters. Travis, who manages the property, did an excellent job of making us feel welcomed and cared for in every way! The dining options on the property are fantastic! The location is very convenient for adventures during the day.
Maureen
Amazing stay at Hunters Country House
Absolutely fabulous. From the check in with welcome drinks and a tour of the property. Fabulous restaurant where the chef takes the utmost care to address food allergies. The staff were all amazing. The place is beautifully presented. Highly recommend.

This is such an amazing place to stay. The rooms are magnificent and the staff here all go above and beyond to make you happy! The restaurants serve amazing food too xx
Ailie
An exceptionally high standard of personalised service and a housekeeping team who are truly second to none.
We loved the breakfasts, the tranquility of the estate, the visiting birds, and the peace of our garden cottage. The only thing we didn't enjoy was waiting for 40 minutes for our dinner reservation at Sage, particularly as the table had been booked weeks in advance.

It was like stepping back into an English country garden. The property, the staff and the food were wonderful. Highly recommended.”

Loved the real fires available even in your room!
Margaret
Amazing hotel
This is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in quite a few around the world! Everything from the staff, rooms, food, facilities were just perfect, we really couldnt fault anything.
Beate Maria
This is a nice property in general (very well maintained gardens, nice pool) and staff was very welcoming. However, our room was a bit run down, furniture beat up and carpet with many stains. It was cold outside when we were there (September) and the only way to heat the room was a wood burning fireplace which was not my cup of tea.
Claire
Overall we had a pleasant stay at Hunters. The grounds are stunning, the restaurants on the complex are fab and all of the staff were excellent and very attentive.
However I do think it was slightly overpriced and could do with a bit of a make over.
Our room was right next to the breakfast courtyard (basically in the courtyard) which gave for very little privacy in the morning when guests were eating out there. It was also incredibly noisy with a water feature that ran constantly, day and night. The thatched roof provided little soundproofing. I know we booked the entry rate room but for a 5* hotel and the price we paid, you don’t expect that.
The room was also quite cold and the heater didn’t seem to give off much heat, so not sure how pleasant it would be in the winter.

Breathe out and relax !
No denying the location and grounds of this property are awe inspiring ! Totally beautiful. The whole area and overall experience gorgeous. However rooms are getting very tired and facilities within the rooms tired and in need of a more high end makeover. That being said it sort of adds to the charm. Luckily they have a new GM Annelle and I think she will shake things up a bit. She sorted a service/communication issue out for us magically ..

An excellent time here. As previously everything was perfect.

A little piece of heaven. The grounds, the rooms, the food, the team, everything was amazingly perfect. From little surprise touches (that I won't ruin for others) to the fun and beauty of the team. This is not a hotel, this is an experience and it should not be missed.
We joined for honeymoon and hope to jo you again for a special anniversary or to renew our vows, if we are lucky.
Highly recommend Zianos, which again was amazing.

Wonderful
Spectacular property. Lovely colonial style hotel which is a very pleasant place to spend a relaxing few days. The hotel room was small and comfortable. The grounds are immaculate and the restaurant, Zinzi, is amazing. Hope we can return.
Andrew
A small paradise tucked away near Plettenberg Bay
What a wonderful, well-managed and comfortable place. Everything was just superb! Luxurious, but not ostentatious! much thought given by management to make each guest's experience very special. Fully and tastefully fitted bedrooms, fine restaurants and great menus make for a comfortable stay, with not a care in the world. One's every wish is taken care of, often without the need to express it!! The gardens are wonderful, and there is a secluded chapel in the woods. One can take easy, gentle walks around the estate to Tsala Tree Tops and the Zinzi Restaurant, each of which has an own special menu, setting and atmosphere!
In my opinion, there are very few resorts/hotels in the country that can compete with Hunters Country House! It is just very special, and I shall be back very soon for more thoughtful pampering!!

Guaranteed an incredible welcome
I spent the most wonderful night at Hunters. From the moment I arrived until the moment I reluctantly left it felt like “I belonged”.
The staff could not do enough for you, the meals were stupendous, and the comfort was outstanding. I really can’t praise it highly enough.
My only regret was I was only there for the one night.

Lovely country hotel with excellent staff good restaurants and beautiful grounds. Very spacious rooms which have a lot of character. The suite we stayed in had quite a traditional decor. We would have preferred something a bit more contemporary and the age began to show as well.

Stunning location. Beautiful gardens and grounds. The thatched garden cottage was spotless, charming, comfortable and cozy. We were so thrilled to spend four days there. The staff was superb - helpful, friendly, acommodating and very attentive. Food was delicious, with many options. All of the little extra touches were so special and very much appreciated. We had a memorable 20th anniversary and hope to be back one day again.

Wonderful location
I attended a friend's wedding at the hotel and stayed a couple nights. It is in a wonderful location, very peaceful and tranquil - at one with nature. The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The inspirational quotes/notes and complimentary biscuits and treats left on the table when the room was turned down for the night added a lovely little touch. The hotel is superb, I would definitely recommend it if you are going to be travelling along the garden route.

Peaceful rural elegance
Hard to fault this hotel. Thatched roof cottage rooms are splendid. Garden views are cool and tranquil. Three separate dining options offer variety and high quality. Staff are consistently helpful and smile a lot.

An excellent visit in lovely surroundings.. Needs better signage from the N2

Amazing
My friend and I decided to road trip from Port Elizabeth to Stellonbosh, and we were lucky to find this fantastic gem. We were able to book last minute two rooms, got in late and still were able to have a great dinner. I can not say enough good things about my experience, from the grounds to the staff, to the out of this world breakfast. If you can and are in the area there is only one choice.

Lovely stay at Hunters Country House
Felt like special guests from the moment of arrival (met by reception at the car!) to receiving a parting gift when we left.
Nothing was too much for the staff and we enjoyed an awesome stay in this genteel and tasteful venue.
Food at breakfast and dinner was great with fresh and tasty ingredients.
Would definitely recommend staying here!

Unique hotel with a high level of service

Beautiful colonial style accommodation and setting
Quite charming and stunning setting. Accommodation in a wonderful thatched rondvall style cottage with meals and drinks at the main house. A quality of service, food and facilities 1st class. Would recommend without hesitation. An ideal stop off along the garden route and at a reasonable price. Well done.
