Agri Kultuur July / Julie 2018 | Page 57

The Garden Route is much less crowded in June and July than it is in the summer months yet still with many sunny days. Although early mornings can be chilly, winter is a great time to visit the Garden Route with the added advantage of never having to wait for a table, parking space or being able to take advantage of the off-season price specials. The Fancourt Estate, (fancourt.co.za) near George while aimed at golfers with its three Gary Player-designed courses, has much to offer non-golfers and a number of accommodation options from self-catering units to the wonderful Fancourt Hotel and the exquisite boutique hotel in the original Manor House where you will receive butler-driven six- star services and amenities. Manor House Fancourt e Golf Cours Emily Moon River Lodge, overlooking the Bitou river, is quirky and delightful and a wonderfully romantic place to make your base from which to explore Plettenberg Bay. Their winter specials are hard-to-beat discounted prices. See BrianBerkman.com for his latest travel stories and contact details for PR representation.
