100% we would go back again, excellent staff
Chose this Hotel over others as wanted to enjoy my 60th Birthday in style, this Hotel did not disappoint, on arrival we were upgraded to a one bedroom Apartment, very spacious with large TV's in both the living room and bedroom, immaculately cleaned and regularly checked by the House cleaning team, we always had a new surprise of wonderful towel designs on our bed when we got back in after a day exploring. I cant fault this Hotel in any way, even though myself and my wife are not golfers, it was just the best choice we could have made, Breakfast was more than ample, we would always go to the Club lounge at night for a nite cap and prices for us here than in the 'UK' are a lot cheaper than back Home, however, their service would leave most places behind, the on site Gym is well stocked and there are free Golf Buggies, complete with drivers to get you around the complex 24/7, if you dont like walking. Ample on site parking The main reason for writing this review, is to thank the many wonderful staff who made our stay at Fancourt all the better, from checking in at reception 'Mxolisi', the Lady who always ensured we had a ride to the car park 'Josi', our perfect service every morning at Breakfast 'Joyce', the Room attendant who made us smile with her designs on more than one occasion ' Michelle', the Lady who took care of my wife in the Spa' Precious' and our Friendly Bar man who knows how to make a good Aperol Spritze, 'Xolile' thank you all, we will see you next year!!

Very good stay and will be back.
Very good stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurants we attended were well serviced and the food good. Room clean and comfortable and well serviced. Bathroom Not originally as clean as I would have liked. Interesting water colour due to tannins so takes a bit of getting used to; hotel may want to advise guests. Golf service was not as slick as I thought it would be; missed out on maximizing our golf due to a shortage of golf carts for Montegu course; mislead on how “easy” it was to walk. Armed with extra information on the two courses would have made it simpler. I will be back.

We received a warm welcome and were shown to our room which was spotless. The dinner at the members bar was good, however they initially got our order wrong. We arrived to beautiful balmy weather, however woke to rain so we were not able to play golf! Overall the stay was a "real spoil"!

Lovely resort but left us disappointed
Beautiful facility - was supposed to be the highlight of our two week golf trip in SA... check in staff was wonderful and the room was beautiful, but we had issues with our golf booking (tee-times etc) and even though we were completely paid in advance for both the hotel and golf, they made us pay for our first round and then no apology for the mix up and a run-around for reimbursement...not impressed. $430/night and only instant coffee in the room? Unacceptable. Restaurants were ok. You have to stay to play the Links, which was definately worth one night's accommodation, but in retrospect, I would take the money saved by just staying for one night (not 3) and stay somewhere élse in George...for that price, you would get the experience/service that just was "not up to par" at Fancourt.
