Firstly a warning!! If you hanker for a weekend treat in a minimalist, trendy loft Hotel in a busy noisy city, stop reading this post RIGHT NOW!!

However, if a weekend in an unashamedly pretty luxury boutique Hotel set on a coastal paradise of exquisite beauty near Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route in South Africa calls you, then read on!!

Situated on a plateau between the lush, green Outeniqua mountains and the warm, blue waters of the Indian Ocean, originally a traditional Dutch Cape Homestead, Kurland is now a luxury retreat, yet still retains the feel of a private residence.

There are only 12 tastefully decorated and spacious suites. Each room is individually styled and furnished and exquisite in every respect. King-size beds, soft, plump comforters, huge open plan bathrooms, open fireplaces, a well-stocked library, private Terraces - with wonderful views of the rolling pastures of the expansive Estate, will ensure you experience a relaxing & peaceful weekend.

Kurland is famous for its beautiful roses, which provide the property with an abundance of fragrant blooms all year round. A new Rose Garden is being created boasting exclusive roses cultivated by David Austin, the world’s leading rose horticulturalist.

The Luxury Spa is a sanctuary of calm, located within the Hotel. We could unwind upon arrival or book in for a little self-indulgence during our stay. The Spa includes a private steam room, sauna room, therapy rooms, a relaxation area, a gym and a refreshing plunge pool.

Kurland also boasts a world-class polo field where matches are regularly played. We could spend an aftenoon watching a game from the comfort & elegance of the wide verandah on the stunning white pavillion overlooking the field.

So join me for a weekend of relaxing in the elegant Drawing Rooms, sipping cocktails on the sun-warmed verandah, stretching out by the sparkling pool & indulging in a spa treatment. Yes, this is a very traditional retreat, with absolutely beautiful Suites, so enjoy the moment & welcome to Kurland.
