Fancourt Hotel

From the perspective of a visiting Brit. It’s a long journey requiring connecting flights at J’burg or Cape Town. Flew in B A were delayed and missed our connecting flight (apparently not uncommon) so had to buy new tickets. So allow a good period of time between landing immigration and collecting bags - we had to wait around 5 hours for the flight to George having missed our connecting flight Weather in George can be changeable even in summer (see later) the local joke is car registrations start CAW = cold and wet , we had rain on at least 1 day unfortunately the day I played the Links course Gardens and surroundings at Fancourt are beautiful the golf courses are astounding and play beautifully. I played all three. The Links is very expensive and exclusive so if you get the chance you will play it. Unfortunately it rained solidly when I played it. It’s summer in SA so no water proofs they lent me an umbrella. Managed to play 14 holes until it got to cold and wet and greens AND fairways were flooding. Disappointed that no one offered us a warm drink or towels or anything in the club house when we got in. As we abandoned no recourse our choice. Very popular with SA families so dependant on time of year there may be kids and only 1 swimming pool. You would expect two pools minimum and 1 adults only. Expect children on bikes and scooters and little supervision Food is OK but a bit limited and drinks menus is not resort wide. My wife likes Monkey 47 gin available in Monets but no where else! Sounding like a terrible experience but it wasn’t the golf and surroundings were amazing + have a caddie if you play they are around 400 zar + your tip around 200 zar so not expensive and you make a difference. And so do they to your game Would I go again probably yes due to the golf courses Probably 3 1/2 - 4 stars but it could easily be 5 with a bit of thought/training and investment

Its a big and very popular establishment. Upon arrival parking near the reception is possible but very busy. Check-in is not very efficient and takes a lot of patience, from there it improves. The suite we booked was very nice and spacious. There is a number of restaurants to choose from. It is recommended to make a reservation well ahead to avoid disappointment. The staff is friendly and it is a good place for eihter a short transit stop or to relax and revive a couple of days.

Ultimate golf trip. Sevice was 5 star. Friendly helpfull staff. Only downside is la cantina restuarant is overpriced and not value for money. Worst carbonara I have eaten and small portion. Staff very good but they need to up their kitchen or chef or lower price. Fancourt an amazing experience. If you can afford it , dont hesitate!

Stay there but do not expect decent food nor service( besides breakfast) as you will have a terrible holiday if you get worked up. Eat in George, amazing restaurants.

Ein Paradies für Reiche in einem armen Land Solche Hotels sind „eigentlich“ nicht so meins, aber für die eine Nacht war es eine interessante Erfahrung - die aber einmalig bleiben wird. Es war alles perfekt, sehr freundliches Personal, eine traumhafte Hotelanlage und für Golfer bestimmt ein Mekka. Es fehlte an nichts. Der Genuss im wunderschönen Spa wurde durch eine sehr lautete Gruppe von Männern so gestört, das ich flüchten musste. Im viel ruhigeren Beauty Spa (Dank an den freundlichen Mitarbeiter, der es mir ermöglicht hat, hier es genießen zu dürfen) Das Frühstück war für mich eher mittelmäßig - eines 5 Sterne Hotels unwürdig - da ist noch sehr viel Luft nach oben. Auch hier das Personal großartig auch das frisch zubereitete Omlett sehr lecker. Die Fahrten mit den Elektro Golfwagen eine interessante und umweltfreundliche Erfahrung. Das Fancourt Hotel ist ein Luxus Oase in einem wunderschönen Land mit ganz viel Arbeit. Mein Respekt für die Menschen, die sich das hier ausgedacht und umgesetzt haben - D a n k e !

Thank you for the best Family holiday in Fancourt . The staff were most friendly and accommodating to our needs , despite the busy festival season . Thank you Vovo @La Cantina and Eden n Tasneem @ guest services. The entire staff were most helpfu !!!!!
