Fancourt Golf Resort, GeorgeSouth African Garden Route, Cape Town, South Africa
About This Property
Fancourt is one of South Africa’s premier luxury golf and lifestyle resorts, located in George in the heart of the Garden Route. The estate covers 613 hectares beneath the Outeniqua Mountains and is only about 7 km from George Airport, making it extremely convenient for a Garden Route itinerary.
Fancourt is much more than a golf resort. It combines luxury accommodation, exceptional golf, restaurants, wellness facilities and extensive leisure activities, making it particularly suitable for couples, families and golfers. The main Fancourt Hotel has 115 rooms and suites, while the more exclusive The Manor House has 18 suites and is reserved for guests aged 16 and over.
The resort is particularly famous for its golf. There are four courses, including the internationally acclaimed The Links, designed by Gary Player, together with Montagu, Outeniqua and The Links Experience. The estate also has a golf academy, practice facilities, pro shops, halfway houses and professional golfing services.
For relaxation, The Spa at Fancourt offers an extensive wellness experience, including a Roman Bath, tepidarium, sauna, steam room and treatment facilities. There is also a fully equipped gym and a range of outdoor activities.
Families are particularly well catered for, with a Kidz Club, Teen Lounge, swimming pools, tennis, cycling, hiking and jogging trails, as well as a range of organised activities. The resort therefore works very well for a multi-generational Garden Route stay.
Dining is another major attraction, with five restaurants offering a variety of styles and cuisines. Guests can choose between more casual dining and sophisticated restaurants, with the estate also offering bars and lounges.
The Manor House is the more intimate and romantic option within the estate. It combines historic character with contemporary luxury and has its own lounge, bar and swimming pool. Because it is adults-only, it is particularly well suited to couples seeking a quieter experience.
For a Garden Route itinerary, Fancourt is an excellent choice if you want a high-end resort with plenty of facilities and activities, rather than a small boutique lodge. Its proximity to George Airport also makes it an especially convenient starting or finishing point for the Garden Route.
