From a botanical point of view, guests in Hunter’s can find a mixture of Cape flora and plants that grow in vast marshlands. Many of the short bushes and shrubs in this floral kingdom have no leaves, which led to them being named Fynbos, fine bush; evergreen sclerophytes mostly grow here, among them several hundred varieties of heather.

Under the African sun, Hunter’s Country House is located in one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, on South Africa’s famous Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Hunter’s is an attractive ensemble of 23 separate cottages and the central main building with various suites.

Hunter’s’ magnificent park and garden landscape is made up of mighty yellowwood trees and European and African plants, some of them endemic. Plants that are classics in Europe today, such as the African violet, pelargonium, calla, the bird of paradise flower and amaryllis, are native to this region.
|
|
The intimacy of the individual cottages and suites makes them oases of tranquillity and relaxation. Here, you can experience total relaxation on mild evenings or leisurely idle away an hour or two during the day. Very important for families with children: in Pumba’s Garden, Hunter’s offers a paradise of fun and games with all-round supervision for the young ones, including food and a sports programme. A baby-sitting service for the very young is available on request.

Relax, ponder and look forward to the night and sweet dreams. Today is today and tomorrow is a new day. Finish the day with an old book from the library perhaps, and tomorrow begin the day with breakfast in bed. Close your eyes. Listen to the sounds of the night. Here, at the southern tip of South Africa, halfway between Europe and Asia. In a world that really exists.
