South Africa's Kurland
Kurland
Set in pristine countryside between the mountains and beaches of Nature’s Valley, Kurland is the quintessential country retreat with excellent facilities for families. An intimate hideaway with 16 suites. Surrounded by paddocks and meadows, Kurland is a tranquil estate set under mature oaks in a rural farm setting on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay. The original homestead has been restored to offer every comfort for the discerning traveler in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Stylishly decorated interiors, charming courtyards with private plunge pools, deep verandahs and sweeping views add to the experience. The spacious bedrooms are suitable for families and have been designed with additional upstairs, en-suite loft bedrooms. Generous country breakfasts and lunches are served in the courtyard or at the pool on sunny days. In the evenings enjoy a drink on the veranda or relax in the library before dining by candlelight. Guests may select their own wines from the cellar.
An intimate health spa offers the luxury of aromatherapy massage, beauty treatments, steam bath, sauna, gym and tennis court. A superb new polo complex with stables and polo fields form part of the estate and guests may have the pleasure of watching a game of polo. Horse riding is available by arrangement. After a refreshing swim in the pool, take a leisurely stroll through the estate or bird watch. Plettenberg Bay offers beautiful beaches, whale and dolphin trips, deep sea fishing and sailing.
