The Zorgvliet Portfolio has been extended to also include majority shares in the classic Protea Hotel King George located in the Western Cape, a mere three minutes from the ocean.

Protea Hotel King George offers luxury accommodation in Victorian style at the foot of the famous Outeniqua Mountain Range. Situated on the 11th fairway of one of South Africa’s top golf courses, it provides its guests the opportunity to play a round of challenging golf at least once while they stay at the Protea Hotel.

Renowned for its service excellence and royal treatment of guests, the King George provides luxury accommodation through its 109 rooms of which all offer spectacular views of the mountains, golf course or swimming pools. En-suite bathrooms, coffee and tea making facilities, hairdryers, air conditioning, private lounges and majestic beds as well as satellite TV and alarm clocks are features you can expect when you book your stay through the Zorgvliet central reservations system.

Dining is an enjoyable experience in the stylish Fairway Terrace Restaurant & Patio while socializing is taken to another level in the Rex Tavern where you can also enjoy a variety of fine South African wines.

Business executives love the plush accommodation and world class conference facilities, while the Protea Hotel is also famous for hosting exceptional cocktail parties, product launches and romantic wedding parties.

Families, leisure travelers, golfers, and business executives all feel at home as facilities cater to the needs of every taste and age. Two sparkling swimming pools, nearby squash courts and a bowling green as well as rugby and hockey fields all make for a holiday or trip full of outdoor activities. Children spend hours in the kiddies’ playground while the whole family can enjoy scenic drives as the Protea Hotel is practically in the gateway to the Garden Route.

The Protea Hotel is less than four minutes from the CBD and only 10 km from the George airport. It is a mere three minutes from the beach, affording guests the opportunity to participate in shark diving activities, surfing, sun bathing, whale watching or casual strolls along the pristine beach.

Take the Outeniqua Choo-tjoe steam train from George to Knysna where you can browse for souvenirs and marvel at the uniqueness of the coast at this classical town. Return to George for more shopping and dining or make your way to the only steam railway museum in South Africa also in George.

Several hiking and nature trails can be explored in close proximity to the Protea Hotel King George including the famous Otter, Tsitsikamma and Outeniqua trails known for scenic paths and breathtaking views.

If adventure is in your blood you can make your way to the Gouritz and Storm River bridges where adrenalin junkies applaud each other on successful completion of their Bunji jumps. More air sport is offered in the mountains in the form of paragliding while those who love to come close to fierce predators also have the opportunity to swim with the sharks.

If land based fun is more your style, you will enjoy the many quad bike trails. Being so close to several game reserves, you cannot miss the opportunity to see animals in their natural habitat. Take one of several game drives offered in the region before you return to the style and comfort of the Protea Hotel King George where your weary body can get a well deserved rest in a Victorian styled room.

Golfing, birding, game viewing, hiking, swimming, sun tanning, biking and just pure relaxation on the beach are all within your reach while you can also partake in wine tasting, fill your bags with gifts for those who you left behind to enjoy your dream holiday and experience the hospitality of the Western Cape. Do not let the opportunity pass you by, make your reservation at the Protea Hotel King George through the Zorgvliet central reservation system.
