A country house with bags of charm and mountain vistas, Fairview House looks over an idyllic pastoral scene of mist-infused mountains and fynbos-covered valleys, just off the Garden Route. The original Fairview was hand-built and has since been transformed into an impeccably styled boutique hotel with South African artwork and heritage touches that hark back to its former days – the ornate fireplace makes for a cosy spot to curl up. Tucked away from the main drag, Fairview is an inviting refuge with the beauties of the Garden Route within arm’s reach. Whether you stay in the Main House or the Coach House, each room is tastefully styled with soothing neutrals, natural materials, fine linens and accents of colour. Perfect spaces to relax and recharge with those picture-perfect views.
There are plenty of road trips to explore, but don’t miss out on the bliss of reading a good book on the lawns, picnicking in the gardens and relaxing at the pool, set amongst the fynbos. And, if you’re heading out for a day of exploring, be sure to ask the chef to whip up a basket of picnic goodies.
