South Africa

Sometimes called “a world in one country” South Africa has it all. 

The Rovos Rail steam train will carry you in style across the Great Karoo past flat topped Table Mountain into Cape Town.  The Garden Route takes you from Cape Town through vintage wine country, along a dramatic coastline to see whales, nature reserves and beaches.  Heading east, the majestic Drakensberg Mountains run all the way from the Kingdom of Lesotho past Rorke’s Drift battlefield, north towards the rich wildlife areas of the Kruger and Limpopo.  You could spend a month in South Africa and only begin to explore this vast land and understand its fascinating culture.

You are spoilt for choice in places to stay, ranging from the Mount Nelson which has proudly watched over Cape Town for 150 years, to hundreds of delightful owner run country hotels, to some of the most luxurious safari lodges on the continent.  You are never at a loss for things to do touring wine country and Zulu war battle sites, world class golf, riding, whale watching, exciting safaris, and enjoying panoramic scenery.  You will probably put on a few pounds as you make your way between delightful restaurants striving to outdo each other for new heights of excellence.

Luxury South Africa is well endowed with many delightful country house style properties, some of which are very reasonably priced. Because of the bewildering array of these and the fact that they change hands from time to time we go to considerable lengths to visit and evaluate them so that we can ascertain which can offer the best service to different types of client.

Most of these are quite small places which are owner run, and you will find your hosts generally happy to provide good quality local advice and suggestions for places to visit - they may even take you to places themselves. The houses are normally beautifully decorated with good standards and facilities and privacy. Some are typical are Cape Dutch style, while others are beautifully decorated and furnished with antiques. The standard of cuisine is normally very good, though we generally book these on a bed and breakfast basis, as many of our clients like to have the option of dining out.
