The Garden Route is renowned throughout the world for its immense natural beauty. Winding along the edge of the warm Indian Ocean, the Garden Route encompasses all of nature`s wonders: from huge mountains ranges to small lakes and the country`s largest remaining indigenous forest, the Tsitsikamma, which is home to a kaleidoscope of flora and fauna and a multitude of rare bird species.
The Garden Route is a malaria-free area. Fancourt is situated in the heart of this magnificent region.
Water is ever-present in the Fancourt experience - whether at the Resort or the many lakes and beaches that surround us. Boating, fishing, sailing, canoeing, water skiing, swimming-beaches and surfing are all available just 20 minutes from Fancourt.
The Koi people named the area around Fancourt "Outeniqua" or "land of honey". The name was a poetic description of the lush, fertile and beautiful surrounding.
An exceptional blend of modern luxury and classic elegance, Fancourt Resort Hotel offers 115 luxurious rooms and suites that cater for every need from families, individual travellers, golfing groups, conferences or special needs.
Rooms are situated around the facilities with views of the golf warm up area, Montagu golf course or beautiful landscaped gardens. All rooms have a balcony and from whichever direction, the views are stunning.
