Dune Ridge Country House

Dune Ridge Country House is a country-house retreat on R330 and Tarragona Road, within St Francis Links in St Francis Bay. The property is set in a 4,500-hectare coastal nature reserve, placing it close to the beaches of St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis while retaining a quiet, rural atmosphere. Its position also makes it a practical base for exploring the Garden Route and the Addo Region.

Accommodation includes a family cottage, garden suites and garden cottages. The choice of room styles supports different types of stays, from relaxed breaks to family visits and organised retreats. The setting combines country-house character with the surrounding coastal bush, offering a slower pace away from busier parts of town.

Dining centres on fresh ingredients sourced as close to the property as possible. Produce from the on-site organic garden forms part of the kitchen’s approach, giving the food a local and seasonal connection without departing from the relaxed country-house style. Dining is available as part of the wider Dune Ridge experience and can complement overnight stays, retreats and private events.

The bush spa draws on the property’s natural surroundings, including the coastal vegetation and sea air. It provides a dedicated wellness element for guests seeking rest alongside their accommodation. The venue also caters for weddings, wellness gatherings, retreats and conferencing, with a setting suited to intimate celebrations and planned group occasions.

Dune Ridge Country House suits travellers looking for a peaceful base near St Francis Bay, families needing a dedicated cottage, and groups arranging a retreat, wedding or conference. The combination of reserve surroundings, nearby beaches, access to St Francis Links, garden-led dining and spa facilities gives the property a distinctly coastal country-house identity in the Eastern Cape.
