Fancourt, South Africa’s premier lifestyle resort, is nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Garden Route, 7 km from George Airport. The resort lies on more than 1,500 acres of pristine countryside sheltered by the Outeniqua Mountains.
The Fancourt Hotel offers the discerning visitor 115 luxurious rooms and suites. These are perfectly suited for local and international families, couples, golfers and those simply looking for a warm, relaxed and entertaining Garden Route retreat. The Manor House is the resort’s adults-only property.
Discover Fancourt’s many leisure activities including The Spa with an indoor heated Roman Bath and world class wellness treatments. The Leisure Centre offers an array of facilities and activities to keep guests of all ages and interests entertained. The Centre houses the popular Kidz Club, teen lounge, gymnasium, cinema, indoor heated and outdoor swimming pool. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy tennis, running and walking trails, bird watching and fishing. Four top restaurants each offer a distinctive dining experience to appeal to every palate. There are also three Gary Player designed golf courses all ranked in the Top 20 in South Africa as well as a Golf Academy.
Special & Unique
3 championship golf courses, great outdoor spaces in a safe environment and perfect location to explore the Garden Route.
Parents Will Love
Independence of children to safely explore and enjoy the facilities of the estate via the Kidz Club while parents spend time in the spa or playing golf and then meeting up at our family restaurant La Cantina to discuss their days.
Kids Will Love
Freedom of exploration for both children and parents. Fancourt knows that every child is unique. Shy or outgoing, creative, sporty or adventurous, we know that not all activities are suitable for every age group and child. The Fancourt Kidz Team will entertain your kids with all sorts of imaginative activities from arts and crafts, nature walks to board games.
Insider Tips
Stop in at Redberry Farm, a short drive from Fancourt, and explore the largest permanent hedge maze in the Southern Hemisphere! Enjoy picking your own strawberries and the train that takes children on a journey around the farm. Make Fancourt your base and explore the Garden Route on day trips from the estate so there is no constant packing of bags and changing of beds.
