mecca of Hermanus, where you will check into the Arabella

almost to extinction, these gentle giants loll in the waters
within stone’s throw of the rocky shore, where one can sit and
commune      with      them   for   hours.    Originally   called
Hermanuspietersfontein after Hermanus Pieters, a te acher and
shepherd who used to graze his sheep in the area, the town’s

local postmaster.

Fancourt Hotel
George, South Africa

Day 6
This morning drive up the renowned Garden Route to the
charming town of George and check in at the Fancourt Hotel.

Tucked between the breath-taking Outeniqua M ountains and
the Indian Ocean, George is the hub of the world-renowned
Garden Route, an area of spectacular forests, lakes, rivers and
mountains. The sixth oldest town in South Africa, George is
filled with reminders of its gracious past, such as the graceful
Drostdy building and the King Edward VII Library. The Slave
Tree, an ancient oak planted more than 180 years ago, earned
its name from the chain and lock embedded in its trunk. George
is also a mecca for golfers, with a number of golf courses that
consistently appear on the list of the co untry’s top ten.
Although George itself is not on the coastline, the secluded
beaches at nearby Victoria Bay are ideal for surfing, while the
holiday resort of Herold’s Bay offers large tidal pools and good
angling opportunities.

Spend two nights in a suite at The Fancourt Hotel. Your stay
includes breakfast, as well as an 18-hole round of golf on the
Outeniqua Golf Course.

Day 7

Spend the day enjoying the majestic parkland layout of the
Outeniqua Golf Course. One of the finest 18-hole parkland
layouts in the country, this is just one of three challenging
courses at the Fancourt Country Club. Designed by legendary
golfer Gary Player, its challenging layout and fine condition
make it an excellent test of golfing skill. With a variety of tees
from which to choose from, the course can provide an
outstanding experience for players of all levels. Sculpted and
finished with rare attention to detail, the course has also been
designed with the prevailing coastal winds in mind. The
spectacular Outeniqua M ountains in the background, as well as
a multitude of flowers and water features scattered throughout
the course, ensure the beauty of the setting. Should you feel
the need to brush up on your golfing skills, the warm-up area
features a full-length range, as well as a chipping and bunker
practice area.
