The first time we came to Hunters was in 1998 just after finishing the Otter Trail. I remember we indulged in the 5 star luxury after this challenging trail. This time we just wanted to get away from the Joburg rat-race for a few days and decided to come back to Hunters. We were NOT disappointed! The gardens are beautiful... More

The country house is a series of thatched cottages in effect in the massive secluded grounds surrounding the main house. We stayed for two nights on the trip along the garden route. We got a fantastic place with its own garden and small pool. The attention to detail was exceptional with candles being lit for us across the accommodation when... More

One can travel here for a romantic escape, as a base to explore the garden route, with children or all of the above. good food, luxury accommodation and value for money travel option.

Beautiful place, quiet and peaceful . Service and attention to every need was perfect. Cannot complain about anything. Made friends with London the resident Cat who came to visit one day owned by Craig and the Chef!. This is just one of the lovely things about this place so beautiful yet so homely. Would certainly go again - maybe in... More

This was our second stay at Hunters. We stayed here a year and half ago, in August. The jasmine was in full bloom and the gardens smelled heavenly. We particularly loved the breakfast room, which was in the main house, with thick-walled windows, shafts of light filtering in, and that lovely heavy wood feel about a country house. We stayed...

We stayed at Hunters for 4 nights, it's very luxurious and in beautiful grounds. The staff are friendly and the ‘cottages’ very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant on a couple of occasions and it was OK, not cordon bleu, we expected it to be exceptional and were a little disappointed

It is spacious, with amazing well kept gardens surrounding the area. The staff is very friendly and are always trying to please the guests. The rooms are cosy, comfortable and decorated... More

a relaxed yet grown up vibe. terrific menu and beautifully cooked dishes. the ambience is relaxed and colonial, with comfortable seating and furnishings. We had lamb, oriental beef, rosewater rice pudding, all tasted great and served by efficient friendly staff. would certainly recommend to others.

For anyone into interior design Hunters is a treat, the rooms of the hotel are like something out of House Beautiful. It has a very old country feel to it which contradicts the trip advisor description as contemporary! We had a premium suit which was so lovely and private. We lit the fire at night which was lovely and romantic.... More
