What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Situated among rolling lawns and championship golf courses, The Manor House pairs grand architectural bones with warm, attentive service.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the Garden Route outside George, the estate offers walking and cycling trails directly beneath the crags of the Outeniqua Mountains.
The rooms
Eighteen suites wrap around a central pool courtyard, appointed with high ceilings, marble bathrooms, and private patios facing the manicured gardens.
The baths and courts
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated Roman bath sits beneath towering white columns, accompanied by a mosaic steam room and four mountain-facing tennis courts.
The spa
Twelve treatment rooms offer bodywork and hot stone massage, alongside a dedicated pedicure suite with sunken ceramic basins.
At the table
The wood-paneled Montagu Bar pours rare single malts by an open fireplace, and Henry White's serves four-course dinners in the manor.
How it began
English engineer Henry Fancourt White built the stone manor in 1859 as his residence while directing construction of the Montagu Pass.
