Fancourt

Now a golf estate on a par with the best in the world, Fancourt's history is that of a family home that grew and grew.

Henry Fancourt White built a country house in Blanco, at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, in the early days of South Africa's expansion, the days of ox wagons, pioneers and impassable mountain ranges.

The heart of Fancourt is now the modern clubhouse, but the old Manor House will always hold its soul. When you visit the estate spend time in the stillness of the reading room, appreciate the gardens and walk along the quiet passages. Imagine life as it was then, with Panama hats and buttonholes, grand pianos, camphorwood kists, antique silver and wild mushroom dinners. Imagine you're not alone.

A combination of Old World charm and contemporary luxury is what makes the Fancourt Hotel so distinctive.

Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you can relax and be pampered in truly beautiful and superbly appointed surroundings, enjoying an unrivalled range of therapies, treatments and leisure activities. Luxury goes hand in hand with world-class treatments, equipment and professionalism. Enjoy a gentle swim in the heated Roman Bath, with magnificent vistas of the Outeniqua Mountains, or visit the sauna, steam rooms, chilled plunge pool, Tepadarium, jacuzzi and fully equipped modern gym, staffed by personal trainers.
