  تجربه غير جيده

  02 May 2026

  اعتمدت في حجزي على التقييمات العالية والصور، لكن الواقع كان مختلفًا تمامًا. توقعت منتجعًا فاخرًا متكامل الخدمات، بينما المكان أقرب لنُزل منعزل داخل غابة، عبارة عن أكواخ بأثاث كلاسيكي قديم ومتهالك نسبيًا، والمظهر لا يشبه الصور.الفطور محدود جدًا خاصة للمسلمين، والمطاعم لا تستقبل حجز بعد الساعة 8 مساءً . وصلنا الساعة 8:30 مساءً بعد رحلة طويلة (6 ساعات) ولم نتمكن من تناول العشاء، واقتصر الخيار على خدمة الغرف.لا توجد أي أنشطة بعد المغرب، والأجواء ليلًا مظلمة ومخيفة خصوصًا مع الطقس السيئ؛ عشنا عاصفة قوية ولم نستطع النوم بسبب صوت الرياح والمطر. قد يكون توقيت زيارتنا (نهاية أبريل) سببًا إضافيًا، حيث شعرنا أحيانًا أننا النزلاء الوحيدون. كما أن الحشرات منتشرة، وقد لا يناسب المكان من يخاف منها.المكان مناسب لمن يبحث عن العزلة والهدوء والبساطة، لكنه لم يناسبني. أنصح بالاكتفاء بليلتين كحد أقصى والاستمتاع به نهارًا. حجزنا كان 5 ليالٍ وغادرنا بعد 3.وهذه اول مره اخرج من فندق قبل انتهاء المده بالرغم من سفري الكثير الإيجابية: الموظفون لطفاء ومتعاونون جدًا واستجابوا لطلب تغيير الغرفة. شكر خاص للسيد باتريك على تعاونه.بشكل عام، لم تكن تجربة موفقة بالنسبة لي‏I based my booking on the high ratings and photos, but the reality was completely different. I expected a luxurious, full-service resort, but the place felt more like a secluded lodge in the forest, consisting of cabins with old, somewhat worn classic furniture. The overall appearance did not match the photos.‏Breakfast options were very limited, especially for Muslims, and the restaurants do not accept bookings after 8 PM. We arrived at 8:30 PM after a long 6-hour journey and were unable to have dinner, with room service being the only option.‏There are no activities after sunset, and the atmosphere at night is very dark and unsettling, especially during bad weather. We experienced a strong storm and couldn’t sleep due to the noise of wind and rain. The timing of our visit (late April) may have been an additional factor, as we sometimes felt like we were the only guests at the hotel. In addition, insects are everywhere, which may not suit those who are afraid of them.‏The place may suit those who are looking for isolation, quietness, and simplicity, but it did not suit me. I would recommend staying no more than two nights and enjoying it during the day. We booked 5 nights but checked out after 3—this is the first time I have ever left a hotel before the end of my stay despite my frequent travels.‏On the positive side, the staff were very kind and helpful and responded to our request to change the room. Special thanks to Mr. Patrick for his support.‏Overall, it was not a good experience for me. Jacqui Hunter, Owner at Hunter's Country House, responded to this review Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We take feedback very seriously and wherever we can, use it to make changes and grow. We have had unprecedented stormy weather this year and I am so sorry that that impacted on your stay. It is indeed very peaceful and secluded. The look of the Hotel and essential to its DNA is the antique furniture. The cottages are set in the gardens and are thatched. It is not everyone's preference and we are so sorry that you preferred to leave earlier. As you would have seen from the reviews,most guests love it. I am so sorry that you didn't. We do have many room options..not all thatched, and had we known, we could have shown you the options. I am so pleased that you found our staff kind and helpful. We certainly serve dinner after 8.30 and have another 2 restaurants on property. I apologize profusely for that misunderstanding. We hope that the rest of your stay in South Africa was wonderful. Thanks again for your feedback.Kind regardsJacqui and the Hunter's team

  A Wonderful and Unforgettable Stay at Hunter’s Country House

  15 Apr 2026

  Hunter’s Country House was one of the most beautiful hotel experiences I have ever had in my life. It was a complete experience in every way, in terms of service quality, cleanliness, and the professionalism and kindness of the staff. The hotel and the cottage also feature very beautiful views that create a sense of comfort and relaxation, and the surrounding area is absolutely wonderful and adds even more to the charm of the stay. A truly exceptional experience in every sense of the word, and I highly recommend it.

  Stay at Hunter’s in a premier garden suite

  12 Apr 2026

  We love Hunters Country House but this is the first time I’ve noticed a few cracks in the veneer.. some of the furniture is tired and needs replacing or a facelift. I only point this out as if they are going to charge the rates they do they can’t have old worn sofas in the rooms and have the paint peeling from all their dining chairs in the breakfast room. Just little things that need to stay at a certain level to maintain the level of luxury if they want to charge the current daily rates. Jacqui H, at Hunter's Country House, responded to this review Thanks so much for your feedback. Having spent time with us in the past- it is all the more valuable. We really appreciate it. We are always very aware that we need to take care of the "grande dame', giving her lots of attention and making sure we spruce regularly- which we do. Thanks for your comments- we have looked with eagle eyes and done more sprucing. We look forward to seeing you back again so that you can see that we've taken your advise.Many thanks and warm regardsJacqui and the Hunter's Country House team

  Successful visit

  25 Mar 2026

  We had a fabulously relaxing stay at Hunter's, passing through on our journey along the Garden Route. We dined at both Zinzi's and Tsala and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
