The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel

07/09/2026

A cherry on top is never just decoration — it's the detail you remember. Much like The Hawthorn itself, nestled in the heart of the Garden Route. Chef Gregory Cooper's brownies, finished the way they should be.

Every corner of The Hawthorn tells a story — some of them are carved, sculpted, and painted. We're proud to showcase original works by artist Ian Visser throughout the hotel, each piece chosen to sit as naturally in our spaces as the fynbos does in our garden. Swipe through a few of our favourites — and next time you're here, take a slower walk through the halls. There's more to see than you'd think.

Spring has a way of pulling you outdoors — and The Hawthorn is the perfect base to explore it all from. Tee off with mountain views as your backdrop, hit the trails as morning mist lifts off the water, or spend a day at the coast — then come home to us for the evening. Whichever way spring calls you this year, we're where you land at the end of it. Swipe through a few of our favourite ways to spend the season.

Friday evenings were made for this.

Every Friday at The Forester, we set the table a little more carefully, dim the lights a little lower, and let the evening take its time. Just the two of you, a menu worth lingering over, and a room that knows how to hold a moment.

📌 Pre-booking essential !
A vegan and a gluten-free menu is available on request — just let us know at the time of booking, at least 48 hours in advance.

Booking online? Please note DATE NIGHT on your reservation.

One. Two. Three. FOUR.

Four consecutive Best of George wins as Best Bed & Breakfast as well as Best Hotel — and every single one of them belongs to these faces right here.

They are the reason guests leave with a smile. The warm welcome at the door, the coffee made just right, the extra mile taken without ever being asked. This award does not live in a frame on a wall — it lives in the people you just watched pop that champagne.

To our incredible Hawthorn team — we could not be prouder of each and every one of you.

And to the people of George — thank you. Four years of choosing us is not something we take lightly. Every vote is a reminder of why we do what we do, and we are deeply grateful.

Reel by our very own multi-talented Barista, Sihle.

One address. Many reasons to return.

At The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel, five-star luxury is not something we display — it is something you feel from the moment you arrive. In the quiet attention of our team, the thoughtful details in your room, and the kind of genuine hospitality that is increasingly rare and always remembered.

Come and experience it for yourself.

Oh, if these pages could talk...

This is The Hawthorn's guest book — and somewhere between the worn leather and the handwritten pages is the reason we do what we do every single day.
