Fancourt Hotel & Country Club
George, Garden Route District, South Africa

A conference centre for up to 300 delegates offers state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and computerised facilities as well as a business centre.
The estate has its own fully equipped gymnasium, boutique and hair salon. Two outdoor and two indoor heated swimming pools, bowls, croquet and a small cinema can all be enjoyed at the leisure centre.
At the hotel’s Health & Beauty Spa, it is easy to spend hours relaxing in the heated indoor Roman bath while choosing from the wealth of treatments. Try the Energy Glow Scrub, Roman Celtic Brush, Stress-Reducing Back Treatment or the Seaweed Wrap.

Elegant accommodation is provided in the historic manor house or in stately garden lodges. Fancourt has just added 46 new guest rooms, which were unveiled for the Presidents Cup in November 2003.

The resort’s five restaurants boast a variety of informal and formal dining experiences, and bear testimony to Fancourt’s reputation as a purveyor of fine cuisine. From La Cantina’s Italian fare to the fresh seafood dishes of Le Pêcheur, Sansibar’s African specialities to the Morning Glory’s healthy meals and snacks as well as Bramble Lodge’s locally sourced produce, Fancourt’s cuisine is a gourmet’s delight.

Email available free of charge. Video equipment and overhead projectors on request. In-room Internet access.

The Garden Route region is renowned for its immense natural beauty. Winding along the edges of the warm Indian Ocean, the Garden Route encompasses all of nature’s wonders from huge mountains to glittering white beaches and the country’s largest remaining indigenous forest, the Tsitsikamma. A major attraction in the area is the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe, an historic steam train that travels between George and the town of Knysna, where you can pick up enjoyable ferry rides on the lagoon. It is possible to go hiking along Fancourt’s leisure trail or try a spot of bird-watching, as the region boasts over 200 species. Of course, golf enthusiasts will be kept busy on the resort’s world-class Montagu and Outeniqua courses, as well as the Links, host to the Presidents Cup 2003, and Fancourt’s newest course, Bramble Hill.
