Zuurberg Mountain Village

The Zuurberg Mountain Village is a haven of historical delight set high up on the Zuurberg Mountains. It is a tranquil and truly unique mountain-top retreat set in 160 hectares of indigenous vegetation with breathtaking views overlooking the Addo Elephant National Park. This recently renovated historical hotel is a mere 1 hours drive from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and offers guests an elegant lifestyle and ambience of a bygone era.

Zuurberg Mountain Village is comprised of 4 spacious family Manor Rooms and 26 Village Rooms.
The family Manor Rooms can accommodate 2 adults in an en-suite twin or double room and 2 small children on a sleeper couch in the interleading living room. In addition to the full en-suite bathroom, these rooms also feature their own private patio with views of the Zuurberg mountain range and are conveniently located near the lounge, dining areas and swimming pool. The Manor Rooms will encourage you to break free from your busy routine and soak up the beautiful surroundings.

The Village Rooms, each with their own private patio, are arranged so that one can enjoy both the spectacular mountains and valley views. Each room can accommodate 2 adults and 1 child in a cot or on an additional single bed on request. The Village Rooms feature black wood floors, climate control, under-floor heating in the bathroom, a freestanding bath and an indoor and outdoor hot and cold shower.

Come to Zuurberg Mountain Village for a few days and experience a tradition of excellent hospitality. The greater Addo National Park surrounds the hotel where a range of spectacular horse-riding and hiking trails can be experienced from beginners to the more advanced. Mountain zebra, eland, kudu, bushbuck, duiker, red hartebeest and other endemic game of the area can be encountered as well as prolific birdlife that includes the Forest Weaver and Knysna Loerie to name a few. Rhino can be viewed at Darlington Dam after a rugged 4x4 trail. From indigenous riverine forests to mountain fynbos the Greater Addo Park, including the Zuurberg Mountains, protects some of the last remaining vegetation of the region.

    20 March 2017

    "Wow ...what a wonderful stay we had ...the memories of 16 yrs ago when my wife and I got engaged there, came flooding back. It still has that old fashioned charm with first class facilities. Both Dinner and breakfast were TOP NOTCH !!! The only thing I would have a tiny gripe about is that a double bed instead of 2 x singles pushed together would have made it even better. But all in all it was a wonderful stay and I would recomend it to Anyone !!"

    19 July 2016

    "We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Zuurberg mountain Village. The chalets are situated on the ridge of a hill overlooking Addo . The gardens are extensive, well maintained and well establishedwith lovely old trees.<div>The rooms are airy, light and generous with lovely views. The showers are a treat all of their own and the breakfasts and evening buffets quite exceptional.<div>Even in midwinter the Underfloor heating in the bathroom helped to warm the room and so the only thing we would have wished for was some blankets instead of the duvets.</div><div>It is obviously a family friendly place and the atmosphere around the fire in the evenings was most pleasant.<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div></div></div></div>"

  • "Not quite the rest and relaxation it promises."

    03 March 2014

    "Generally accommodating staff. Prospective guests should be informed of events to be hosted at the establishment. Unfortunately not the quiet getaway we were looking for. Event participants, even those not staying at the establishment, took over most facilities."

  • "ZUURBERG REVIEW"

    22 July 2013

    "Zuurberg is a very pleasant resort that is worth visiting always. The food is outstanding and the accommodation very good. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and aircon/heating in the rooms is excellent. Not the fault of the hotel, but 3G is limited so you have to collect mail on free Wi-Fi (good feature) in the lounge. Otherwise a top location."

  • "Excellent stay"

    14 July 2013

    "Excellent stay."

  • "Weekend getaway"

    13 May 2013

    "We found it very restful with lovely views and surrounding gardens a joy to behold. Friendly staff and good service enhanced our stay. The cuisine was very good and the manor room very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting around the huge fire in the main lounge where one could also connect to the Internet and meet fellow visitors. It is a lovely weekend getaway."

  • "Stunning place"

    06 April 2013

    "Used Zuurberg as overnight stop - should have stayed for at least 3 nights. What a great experience!! Highly recommended and will be back."

  • "Up in the hills"

    09 March 2013

    "We stayed two nights in Zuurberg Mountain Inn a very historic and scenic place. We had a nice and clean cottage and a fantastic view into the lower land. The staff and the owner are willing to help you with almost every thing. They gave us the tip for a private elephant ride, what turned out to be a fantastic experience. It's just an hour ride from the Inn, which you should only do in 4x4. Only the food and wine they serve didn't match the expected quality. Nevertheless the German travel group loved it."

  • "Nice stay"

    02 January 2013

    "Zuurberg is in a beautiful location and worth the drive up to it. The Village rooms are beautiful, very comfortable and well furnished. Mini bar and facilities much appreciated. Would have been nice if, early in the morning, less light streamed in through the open bathroom. Food was good. Henk was extremely helpful giving advice on where to find game in Addo. However the hotel did lack a warmth and welcoming feeling at times."

  • "Lovely find and well worth the drive"

    06 August 2012

    "We stayed two nights at Zuurberg but could easily have stayed longer. We were given the choice of a room or a cottage which was excellent. The staff were friendly and the food was great. They also suggested a trip to Schottia Game Reserve which was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip."

  • "What can I say?"

    23 April 2012

    "We had a three day stay at Zuurberg Mountain Village and boy, oh boy, were we spoilt. The surrounding area is amazing, the gardens are stunning, the rooms very comfortable and the food was beyond delicious. The staff were all very friendly and professional and really went out of their way to make us feel at home. I did not want to go home. This is the type of place that one goes back to time and again."
