Set amidst emerald green pastures, where the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains sweep down to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Lies Kurland, the luxury country hotel, established by the Baroness Diane Behr on the age-old Behr family estate near Plettenberg Bay, along the famous Garden Route.

Guests will enjoy peace and relaxation in the beautifully appointed and tranquil reception and sitting rooms of a truly hand-made hotel which, although established in the old cape Dutch tradition, is completely modern in all other respects, and which is surrounded by immaculate polo fields with adjacent stables, which are all part of the estate.

The tastefully decorated rooms display some enviable objets d’art, antique furniture and original oils.  Whether bathed in cheerful sunshine or warmly lit by lamps and firelight, they add a languid glamour to Kurland’s spacious, comfortable interiors.

Kuland’s well-stocked library includes internet and e-mail facilities for those who require them.

Known by their proximities to the Rose Garden or the Paddock, each of the individually styled en suite bedrooms is a separate living area, with comfortable couches, telephone, satellite television and mini-bars.  Ten of the bedrooms have loft rooms especially designed for children and some have private plunge pools for those hot cape summer evenings.

Children of all ages are welcome at Kurland being well catered for with tennis; boating; horse and cycle riding, a games room and their own specially constructed swimming pool.

Relax into the pastoral mood of Kurland in a comfortable chair on the spacious, shaded veranda, or stretch out on a recliner by the palm-fringed, sparkling pool,  A full bar service with snacks is available.

Should you feel the urge to work off your sumptuous farm breakfast, relax after a horseback ride or a game of tennis, or simply pamper your deserving self, you need look no further than the hotel’s health spa.  It includes a fully equipped gymnasium, sauna, steam bath and plunge pool.  Beauty treatments and massages are available, on request.

Or visit the state-of-the-art stables and magnificent polo ponies waiting in anticipation of polo matches between players of international standing, and participate in the excitement.
