The hotel

Fancourt Hotel is definitely one of South Africa’s premier hotels. Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, rooms are split between the 150 year old Manor House, which has been completely remodelled to create a boutique hotel and the main hotel, which effortlessly combines modern luxury with traditional elegance. A golf estate – Outeniqua and Montagu 18-hole Golf Courses are two of the finest you’ll encounter – a must for any enthusiast. Meanwhile, those intent on a spot of pampering are also in for a treat. Rituals inspired by the four elements: air, water, fire and earth form the basis of all therapies, ensuring you leave your tranquil surrounds feeling balanced and on top of the world! Dining can be as formal or as casual as you please. There are several restaurants to choose from, including La Cantina, which is ideal for all the family. For that special occasion or just because you want to spoil yourselves, Henry White’s dedicates itself to excellence in the culinary arts – open five days a week, make sure you experience it at least once. When it comes to sightseeing, there’s plenty to do in the surrounding area, including Garden Route excursions, a trip to the stunning Knysna Waterfront and trips into the wilderness to spot the 'Big Five'.

We stayed for 2 nights on our honeymoon. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the place is beautiful. The only downside is we booked via Agoda that had a special for Fancourt Hotel, however when we get there, we get told we're staying at the Manor House. It was still very expensive so quite disappointing.

We had the most incredible family holiday at Fancourt, thank you for always on point with our bookings. — a place that truly lives up to its world-class reputation. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for the entire stay. The staff were exceptional — always attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making our experience special. Whether it was at the restaurants, the golf course, or the front desk, everyone we encountered went above and beyond. The food was absolutely delicious, with each meal feeling thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. We found something to suit every palate in the family, and each dining experience added its own memorable touch to the trip. A special mention must go to The Links — not only a breathtaking course but also a place where memories were made. They treated my son like royalty, giving him a golf experience fit for a prince. The attention, patience, and care shown to him left a lasting impression on all of us. Fancourt isn’t just a resort — it’s a destination where luxury meets heart, and where every family member, young and old, feels valued. We left feeling recharged, grateful, and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended! Read less

Great family resort style getaway with activities for all ages individually and for family groups alike. Clean, organized, well maintained and wonderful staff. A special note to the staff at La Cantina restaurant who never fail to impress. Catering as requested. We will definitely return if we can.

Amazing grounds - exquisite facilities! We ate like Kings, lounged in the Roman baths and enjoyed the gorgeous surrounds of the area. I would highly recommend a stay here!
