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.

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.

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.

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 ..

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. Thank you xx

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!!
