Win Two Nights at Hunter’s Country House near Plett Worth R25 400

A forest retreat surrounded by flourishing gardens, Hunter’s Country House is midway between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, offering a romantic luxury escape in tranquil green surroundings. Set on the same five-star country estate as sister-property Tsala Treetop Lodge, the boutique hotel is surrounded by landscaped gardens, lawns and a small lake, with tempting trails to explore winding into the forest. Thatched roofs, wooden beams, antique furniture, comfortable sofas, a swimming pool, tented boma and a small library make for a heavenly relaxing spoil that you can sink right into, with friendly five star-service to match.

The 26 luxury rooms and suites are spacious and individually designed, each with a private patio and garden (and some with private plunge pools), hidden away among the country gardens with birdsong as your soundtrack.

A high-ceilinged thatched dining room, Sage restaurant, is the setting for candlelight dinners, while the light and sunny Conservatory starts the day with an ample breakfast, and there are picnics to enjoy in a secluded spot in the grounds. 

A romantic forest dinner at Zinzi

You’ll likely see buck wandering past the deck as you sip a cocktail before your meal at Zinzi, a chic restaurant with lake and forest views just a short walk away from the lodge, where the seasonal menu takes you on a global culinary journey.

All the attractions of the Garden Route are on your doorstep if you can tear yourself away from the forest tranquillity for long enough to explore.

If this sounds like your dream romantic getaway, enter our Valentine’s competition below and stand a chance to win.
