About Country Guest Houses Project

Project Details

Many of our tourism establishments offer unique countryside experiences. These smaller hotels or guest houses are usually in outlying areas some distance from the major cities. Properties are mostly owner-managed and guests are regular visitors to the area. These placements offer a wonderfully intimate experience and the opportunity to really get to know the people and the true countryside of South Africa.

Example

This four star Country House is a tranquil haven in a corner of country paradise; yet close enough to all the must-see attractions of Cape Town. Guests are offered bed and breakfast accommodation and a combination of charm, character, comfort and true country living.

This fine establishment is situated in the picturesque country village of Noordhoek, in the centre of the Cape Peninsula National Park. Guests can savour the spectacular natural beauty of the Cape while enjoying activities such as bird watching in the National Park, or whale watching along the nearby Atlantic Ocean coastline. Alternatively, guests can experience the freedom of horseriding in the surf along Long Beach, Noordhoek's 7 km stretch of beach.

A mere stone's throw away are some of the Cape's most famous beaches,  offering a myriad activities including swimming, surfing, diving, deep-sea fishing and sea kayaking... not to mention the many hiking and mountain biking trails. All modern conveniences - restaurants, shops, banks, cinemas and modern fitness centre - are within walking distance.

This country retreat is near the Constantia Winelands, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and of course Table Mountain.
