Trailfinders' Nicola Morgan gives an insight into Hunters Country House, Plettenberg Bay
Hunters Country House, Plettenberg Bay Expert Review
Nicola Morgan
Hunters Country House is a gorgeous property located within the same grounds as Tsala Treetop Lodge and Lairds Lodge. The property has stunningly maintained gardens with all kinds of plants, flowers, and even the occasional monkey and deer!
An elegant country retreat is the perfect description for this property - the rooms are individual thatched cottages dotted around the grounds. They are beautifully furnished and complete with fireplaces which are lit at night on request. Returning in the evening to find an extra blanket, bedside chocolate and a hot water bottle was a lovely touch.
The food in the main restaurant was excellent with lots of local fare on offer and dietary requirements were well catered for. If you fancy something different to eat, Zinzi Restaurant is a 400m walk through the grounds, but we ate in the main restaurant for both lunch and dinner both nights as it was so good.
There’s a large pool (not heated!) and even a yoga room. Staff were friendly and welcoming and on hand for any enquiries. The lounge area with honesty bar, big armchairs and huge fireplace was a fabulous way to enjoy a pre-dinner drink.
I can’t rate Hunters highly enough and you could easily spend two or three nights here, just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Plettenberg Bay.
Top tip: Reservations for Zinzi Restaurant are essential as its popular with the locals, particularly over the Christmas and NY period.
