Amazing hotel and the best one I’ve had a pleasure to stay in South Africa. Make sure you have a dinner at their restaurant. The food is spectacular

We made the journey to Hunters from Knysna with high expectations. The place does not disappoint from an aesthetic point of view. Set in magnificent grounds and beautifully furnished with a lovely warm atmosphere and ambience. The food however was a huge disappointment! Two of our party had the ravioli which was flavourful but either old or overcooked as it was hard round the edges. The portions were small,. The steaks which came were awful. Pan fried and greasy, obviously cooked in a cool pan and served on wilted spinach with soggy potato wedges on a greasy plate. No sign of Dukkah roasted potatoes as was advertised. We learned that the chef had left and the sous chef was responsible for the kitchen. One steak was returned to the kitchen as it was virtually inedible. I ordered the chocolate brownie for dessert. Mistake! Burned to a crisp and smothered in chocolate sauce to disguise the fact. If you intend visiting have tea and scones. The place is lovely but the food disgusting.

Beyond all expectations absolutely incredible place! So many birds and beautiful flowers. The spacious rooms with very comfortable beds were perfect. The notes and sweets left at the bedside in the evenings were a lovely touch. Dinner at the various restaurants were always delicious! Breakfast pancakes so yummy. Would love to visit again one day.

Top of hospitality, and a great surroundings. Europe : you can learn from this. Registration manager was waiting by the reception where we could park the car. Directly two men bring the suitecase directly to our guesthouse, before the registration finished. Sleeping in a very relaxing surroudings, nearly to late for the excelent breakfast. I love this place! Dinner in the restaurant was a plesure for your tong. This is absolute one of the best restaurants in SA.

Everything was just perfect. Beautiful room. Great facilities at hotel. Lovely gardens. Terrific service. Log fires in lounge in evening added to the comfort and the ambience. Only regret was we had only booked one night. I seldom comment on Trip Advisor but Hunters Country House deserves 5stars for everything as I noted below.

I would love to give 4.5 stars and if we came in summer it would be 5 stars. The gardens are stunning specially the aloe garden and the peaceful, mossy path leading to the chapel. The staff were wonderful and the open glass conservatory for breakfast was the most beautiful breakfast room we have ever experienced. The olde-worlde accommodation felt cozy with the weather cold and raining but with the fire raging. But because of the large amount of rain there was a damp smell in the room. One of the staff later told us it was the thatch roof being a bit damp and I wish they had told us that earlier. With the rain having stopped the small was better the next morning. Our only criticism was the blanket placed on top of the duvet. I know it was to keep us warm in cold weather but a beigy-brown blanket did not give us a “clean” feel.

When we turned off the main road and travel down a gravel track we wondered if we had gone the wrong way and then at the end of the track we found an oasis. A beautiful country house with stunning and extensive grounds. We spotted deer, splashed in the pool, enjoyed lounging on soft sofas, and hand three fabulous dinners. The staff were very welcoming with one of them putting their work to one side in order to make my son happy by playing a game of dobble. The bedrooms were spacious, luxurious and warm with a roaring fire in the evenings.

We were greeted by an expanse of breathtaking, perfectly manicured gardens and then treated like royalty. Sparkling wine enhanced our euphoria as we flitted in and out many doorways in the main building, absorbing pure luxury in every breathtaking, elegant, beautifully decorated space. Our cottage was indescribable. A roaring fire greeted as we entered the cozy lounge, equipped with a generously filled hospitality tray and chilled bottle of wine; an ultra-luxurious bed adorned with cotton percale linen and then the pièce de resistance – the opulent bathroom. Every meal was a taste sensation, created and served with passion & pride. The warm and loving contribution of service by all staff is what really tipped the scales for us – absolutely outstanding! Hunters promise gracious elegance with sheer comfort and style - what we experienced far exceeded these expectations. Thank you for a magical stay.
