Guests also enjoy complimentary access to the heated Roman Bath at the Fancourt Spa; the tennis courts and high-tech gymnasium in the Sports and Leisure Centre; as well as the driving range at the state-of-the-art Golf Academy.

Voted the ‘Best Luxury Golf Resort in Africa’ in the 2014 World Luxury Hotel Awards 2014, Fancourt is an internationally sought-after golfing playground, with arguably some of the best facilities in the world. These include the revamped Club House, a top class Golf Academy and two Pro Shops. All three of the Gary Player designed golf courses have consistently featured on the list of South Africa’s 20 finest courses for the last four consecutive rankings, while its prized golf course, The Links currently holds the top spot in the Golf Digest Top 100 Golf Courses rankings for 2014 and 2015.
But golfing is just one of the many leisure pursuits on offer. As a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, a quality food and wine experience can be savoured at a choice of three restaurants. While Italian-styled La Cantina, voted Best Hotel Restaurant in the Garden Route’s CXPress Garden Route Culinary Awards 2014, serves true Italian cuisine and ‘the best pizza in town’, Morning Glory restaurant is the perfect choice for a light Lunch or Afternoon Tea, overlooking the greens of the Outeniqua golf course. Sophisticated Henry White’s at the exclusive Manor House Boutique Hotel is the Garden Route’s best kept secret for stylish, classic dining, complemented by a superb wine list that has won a Diamond Diners Club International Winelist Award for two years running (2013/2014).
There’s plenty of action, ranging from the freedom to explore the 613 hectare property on mountain bikes along scenic leisure trails, to a workout at the gymnasium in the Sports and Leisure Centre with its indoor and outdoor pools and in-house cinema. On Thursdays Mountain biking is on the outdoor adventure programme and keen riders may meet up with one of Fancourt’s MTB enthusiasts at Witfontein Nature Reserve for an easy 10 kilometre ride or more arduous 45 kilometre route. Tuesday is Trail running day, starting at the Witfontein Nature Reserve, accompanied by one of Fancourt’s seasoned instructors. Hikers may don their hiking boots on Fridays for a brisk guided walk that starts at the entrance to the reserve. Participation in these organised activities are complimentary for hotel guests.
A few hours of pampering at the luxury Fancourt Spa is the ultimate indulgence; the signature African Raindrop journey being the treatment of choice for a soothing body, mind and soul experience that offers 90 minutes of pure pleasure.
Add to this convenient access to glorious beaches nearby and sightseeing attractions in and around the coastal towns of Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay – a comfortable drive away – and it’s easy to see why Fancourt sets the standard for a world-class vacation on the Garden Route.
