Kurland is a beautiful country hotel created by Baroness Dianne Behr from her grand family home and estate, a short drive from Plettenberg Bay. Voted as one of Tatler's ‘Best Hotels in the World’ and runner up for their ‘Hotel of the Year’ award, this Relais & Châteaux property combines the easygoing atmosphere of a private home with the comfort and graciousness that comes of being surrounded by much loved family antiques. Aubusson rugs, silk curtains, oil paintings and inviting sofas are typical of the 12 sophisticated and individually decorated suites. Ten bedrooms have pretty en suite loft rooms for children and some have private plunge pools. Dining at Kurland is a delicious and romantic candlelit affair, featuring many of the vegetables and herbs grown in the kitchen garden. Children of all ages are made exceptionally welcome here; as well as the enchanting farm setting there is tennis, boating, horse and bicycle riding, stables full of polo ponies, two swimming pools, one of which is specially constructed for little ones and a games room. With a polo field that hosts international matches, a modern health spa and gym plus all the fun of Plettenberg Bay close by, this charming and elegant hotel is ideal for adults and children alike.
