We had a really wonderful stay at Far Hills in January 2025, we booked 4 deluxe rooms in the beautiful forest surroundings and all the staff were incredible! The food was absolutely top class and dealing with Jen (head chef) was such a pleasure. She arranged a Braai for us and our extended family on their viewpoint area, which was a magical setting. She has a heart of gold and nothing was too much trouble for her. We also had an incredible breakfast, the flapjacks and smoothie were an absolute hit! We loved the pool, had many swims and lots of fun in it. The kiddos loved the double bunk in the family room and everyone said they slept well. Jen promised me before we came that she wouldn’t disappoint us and she absolutely lived up to her word. Everyone left with a fuller cup than when they arrived. Thank you thank you.

Stayed here for 2 nights on Dec-31, 2024 & Jan-1, 2025 in room 35 on the ground floor. The rooms in this hotel have no electronic lock / keycard & instead manual keys that have to be turned in keyholes were provided upon check-in. Our room had glass doors at the back that opened to greenery expanses without any compound wall in sight so seemed very unsafe / unprotected. No waste bin in room & only given upon asking at the reception. The reception had cupboards with books like the devil wears prada, Stephen kings works etc, We found 3 spiders in our room that we had to clean ourselves & plenty of stick insects crawling all over the back glass doors. There is a black dachshund in this hotel that walks about freely. Personally I don't mind it as I love canines, but if other guests mind it then watch out! This seems to be an old / dated hotel that is severely understaffed & in need of modernisation. All the staff I saw here were only women. The common areas of the hotel have a lot of dirt & fallen leaves & no cleaning done by the staff. We were provided limited & unsatisfactory breakfast on the 2 mornings we ate there. (dark mushrooms, scrambled eggs, bread, butter, juices & champagne glasses with muesli, yoghurt & fruit)

WOW! We thought we knew the George and Wilderness area with its restaurants fairly well. But with Far Hills, we were in for a surprise. Right next to George, this is one of the most beautiful places where we have dined in the area. The views are amazing. The facilities are excellent. The food was delicious. The service was fantastic! We will surely be back, and we only wish that other people will also discover this exquisite hidden gem. It is most definitely worth a visit, and we will be back.

My wife and I decided that for our first post Covid trip we would revisit the Garden Route in Cape Province . Having been tipped off by friends that Far Hills Country Hotel at Wildernesse had recently been given a major refurbishment by its new owner , we booked for four nights . We were not disappointed . The view of the Outeniqua mountain range from our tastefully furnished room was as breathtaking as ever . The staff were unfailingly helpful and charming and the quality of the food and drinks in the attractive bar and restaurant was such that we dined in every evening . On our last day the hotel hosted a wedding party for 100 guests which prompted us to book the resort for our daughter’s nuptials next summer .

I have been travelling past this hotel for years but never thought of staying there. Circumstances caused me to stay there recently and wow, how I enjoyed it. Rooms were large, comfortable and equipped with everything that I needed to enjoy my one night stay. Because it was a bit out of George and we had had a long day we decided to eat in the restaurant. We were not expecting much, in fact only four people, including us, ate there, but again what a pleasant surprise. My meal was nicely cooked and vegetables were great. Our waitress was most pleasant and in fact we had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. In the morning, we enjoyed an excellent meal and met Manager Wyndham, most congenial and he runs an excellent Hotel. We will be back and if you want a great nights stay and quietness then Far Hills Country Hotel is for you. Check the view from my room with the photograph that accompanies my review.
