 Fancourt 

A golfer's paradise

Against the backdrop of the Outeniqua Mountains Fancourt is a plush country estate with world-class golf, an award-winning spa and acres of spectacular land.

The drive up to Fancourt reveals a fairy-tale world of lush green landscape, towering trees and glassy lakes. Step inside and it’s more of the same – a genteel atmosphere that’s more swish weekend country manor than hotel. This is one of our favourite stops on the Garden Route for some stylish R&R beneath the Outeniqua Mountains Range. It’s sleepy and yet inviting, and never short on ways to explore the Western Cape. There’s mountain biking, horse riding, hiking and a fishing lake before you even get to the three stupendous Gary Player designed golf courses. If you want to slink off for a hedonistic signature Basalt Hot Rock massage without the little ones in tow, children are well catered for in their own Teen Lounge or the supervised Kidz Club.

Why we love Fancourt

  • Whilst golf is the big draw here, there is plenty for non-golfers too

  • With an excellent range of facilities, this is a great choice for families to stay on their Garden Route explorations

  • Take a walk along the botanical trail where plant enthusiasts can discover many indigenous species

  • Walk off dinner with a sunset stroll through the 10 kilometres of trails

A feast of different themes is found in the restaurants; warm and comforting Henry White’s celebrates the best of South Africa and fresh and al fresco Mediterranean food at La Cantina. For a taste of Japan, head to Shinju. Monet’s chic bistro has an artisan menu chased by coffee or Champagne and the slick Club Lounge serves up sports, gourmet sandwiches and quirky chilli poppers late into the evening.

La Cantina
Wood-fired pizzas, home made pasta and ravioli of the day are just some of the offerings at the resort's Italian restaurant.

The Club Lounge
Also known as the 19th hole and overlooking the 18th green on the Montagu golf course, keep refreshed at The Club Lounge.

Monet’s Restaurant
The casual French-style bistro has an outdoor deck with mountain views. It's a popular choice for families.

Shinju

What's Included

Breakfast.

The award-winning spa facilities outrival the kind you find in the area, like the decadent 31-degree heated Roman Bath indoor pool, sauna, steam room, gym and two further pools. There's even a tepidarium where the heated seats and blasts of essential oils improve circulation and sink you into a blissful state of relaxation. Beauty treatments are also available to complete your relaxation experience.

There are numerous walking and bike trails through the extensive grounds. As well as two swimming pools, you can also enjoy games of tennis, netball and basketball with a couple of floodlit courts if you've been out all day.

Children from the ages of three to 10 will be kept busy with a range of activities at The Kidz Club whilst older siblings can head to the Teen Lounge for  table tennis, foosball and video games. Families can also use the resort's bikes to explore the many trails.

Fancourt boasts three Gary Player designer courses. The Links is the flagship course whilst the bunkers on Montagu will challenge even the most experienced golfers. Outeniqua is the resort's parkland course but don't be distracted by the mountain and forest views as you tee off. If you want to perfect your game, lessons can be arranged at The Academy with PGA professionals.

There is a formal dress code for Henry White's Restaurant.
