“Tee off in Paradise” sounds
like marketing hyperbole, but
in this instance it might not
actually do justice to Fancourt
as a whole.
Yes - the golfers will certainly feel as if
they have ended up in a terrestrial version
of a golfing heaven with not one, but three
magnificent Gary Player designed layouts on
their doorstep, all of which are ranked in the
top 15 courses in South Africa.
Notwithstanding its thoroughly deserved and
hard won reputation as a premier leisure resort
and golfing Mecca in Africa, Fancourt, set in
a beautifully landscaped 613 hectares of lush
countryside with the Outeniqua Mountains
as its majestic backdrop, is also one of the
region’s best and most complete family vacation
destinations.
The resort’s setting on the Garden Route means
that a variety of scenic attractions, fabulous
beaches and the Indian Ocean, known locally as
the “Golden Triangle” of authentic experiences
and activities, are only a stone’s throw away.
However these temptations might be difficult to
make time for if you have chosen to stay at one
of the Fancourt’s two accommodation options.
The first of these is Fancourt a five star hotel with
115 rooms and the second is The Manor House, a
historical boutique all-suite hotel with 18 suites.
And into this sybaritic mix you can add an award
winning spa with roman bath, sauna, steam
room, tepidarium and plunge pool and 4 on
site restaurants, 2 of which have Diners Club
Diamond Award winning wine lists.
There is also a great on site kids club and
teen lounge with various indoor and outdoor
activities, a leisure centre with indoor heated
pool, outdoor pool, gym, tennis courts and the
Poolside Café.
