Fairview Homestead
A restored 1861 Georgian homestead in George with five rooms, a saltwater pool and full breakfasts, close to the town's museums.
Fairview is a Georgian homestead from 1861 in George, restored as a five-room guest house. It suits travellers who want a stopover with some character at the start or end of a Garden Route trip, in an old house rather than a chain hotel. George Airport is close, which makes it an easy first or last night.
What to expect
Each of the five rooms is different. Two have working fireplaces, one has French doors onto a lavender garden, and another has its own patio, garden and braai. A full breakfast is included, and the garden pool looks towards George Peak in the Outeniqua Mountains.
