Hunter's Country House

Excellent stay , amazing staff, clean, beautiful , well organized ,

We spent part of our honeymoon at Hunters Country House in mid-August and had such a wonderful experience.

The property itself is absolutely beautiful, but what really made our stay special was the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome and our honeymoon was acknowledged in such a warm and thoughtful way.

We were delighted to receive a lovely room upgrade as well as some beautiful little surprises waiting for us in the room. The service throughout our stay was truly exceptional – very personal, attentive and genuinely warm.

It was a very special experience and a wonderful part of our honeymoon. We would absolutely recommend Hunters Country House and would love to return one day.

Liked staff members, like Caroline’s sunny personality, and Khanyo’s enthusiasm. Breakfast was great.
However it was a very cold rainy day and the checkin reception was freezing On days like this, the area should be heated.
Loved having a fireplace, but the smoke wasn’t pulling out of the chimney and thus smoked out the room. I ended up coughing and having very burny eyes. Otherwise gets a 10

Relaxed and amazing vibe and service

First and foremost, the service at Hunter's Country House is truly unparalleled. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, proactively offering help and personalizing our stay to our needs—it felt like every staff member knew who we were! We loved the thoughtful touches, from the warm notes and sweets waiting in our immaculately clean room to finding our rental car washed with a bag of water and road snacks ready for us at checkout. 

The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the estate grounds are stunning (we even spotted deer and baboons wandering around). Dining was another highlight; the included breakfast was generous with a large selection, and our dinners at Sage and Zinzi were delicious, offering a great wine selection and excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was beautiful, huge, and surrounded by a peaceful forest, with its own private garden. The location between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay was very convenient for exploring and doing activities in both areas. The restaurants on the property were honestly some of the best we tried during our entire trip. One of the highlights was the night sky—when the sky was clear, we could see millions of stars and even the Milky Way. Such a beautiful and peaceful place, and definitely one of our favorite stays of the trip!

Het was een geweldige plek waar je helemaal tot rust kunt komen. Een prachtige verblijf met keuze uit heerlijke restaurants. Het ontbijt lijkt eerder op een high tea,het is echt een feestje om hier te mogen zijn.

Er zijn overal mooie plekjes gecreëerd om heerlijk te lezen, te genieten van alles. Vuurtjes worden aangemaakt. Deze mensen die hier werken zijn allemaal ontzettend vriendelijk en kundig.

Thank you so much to everyone at Hunters for such a wonderful stay! We really appreciate everything that you did to make it such an enjoyable experience and we look forward to staying there again soon!

Don't book this hotel. We had several rooms booked over the Christmas holidays, but my father passed away unexpectedly and I immediately canceled the booking 35 days before arrival. Their holiday season cancellation window is 45d. I asked them, given the circumstances, to refund my $9,000 deposit, or work something else out with me. They refused. I even sent them a copy of the death certificate. Still they refused. They declined to answer my subsequent question as to whether they had re-rented the rooms. Greed in the face of a family's tragedy is just unforgiveable.

Alleen maar lof: van hartelijk ontvangst, tot welkomsdrankje, prachtig domein, prachtige kamer, service die ongezien is.... Dit was het beste hotel tijdens onze vakantie (5 hotels gedaan) en wij komen ABSOLUUT terug!
Iedere avond werd onze haard aangemaakt, iedere avond kregen wij een koekje, snoepje,... naast het bed, er was een welkomsfles voorzien en tijdens een koude avond kregen wij zelfs een warmwaterkruik in bed, ... wat een absolute verwennerij! Er werd ook aan alles gedacht: een grote lamp in de kamer om 's avonds op het domein rond te lopen, muggenspray in de kamer en reservaties in de restaurants die al gemaakt werden. Dit hotel en de service overtroffen onze verwachtingen, zeker voor de prijs die we betaald hebben!!!

The staff was amazing, we made it here during a great storm & weather warning and the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable right away. We only noticed, how bad the situation was, when we left again, saw all the fallen trees and heard from other hotels that they didn't have power for three days. Meanwhile we blissfully enjoyed Hunter's Country House, so thank you!
