Intle Boutique Hotel is rising from the ashes this September  

In late August 2024, a devastating fire swept through Intle Boutique Hotel, destroying the kitchen and laundry and causing severe damage to the lounge and dining areas. This tragedy forced the hotel to close its doors and pause its offerings for a full year. From the 1st of September 2025, guests can once again embrace the beauty of the hotel—set within 800 hectares of rolling hills, valleys and lush thickets—and enjoy the retreats that make Intle Boutique Hotel special. 

Escape to Intle Boutique Hotel 

Situated on a hilltop overlooking grass fields the hotel is just a short forty-five minutes away from Port Elizabeth Airport with their wooden deck offering views of game such as giraffe, zebra, antelope, and birds of prey.   

Intle Boutique Hotel features nine luxury rooms providing guests with a tailored service experience and a surreal sense of barefoot comfort. The Deluxe Rooms are perfect for either couples or single travellers and feature items such as a king-size bed, a work desk, a cosy reading corner, and a private balcony. The Luxury Rooms are adorned with chic finishes, accommodating two adults and one child under the age of twelve. Sit on the balcony and take in the views of the mountain range while sipping on a cup of coffee, and the en-suite bathroom contains a free-standing bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity.   

Guests who enjoy exploring the great outdoors will love the Standard Rooms. With balconies that overlook the coastline of Jeffery’s Bay, each room comfortably accommodates two adults, but guests do have the option of booking a family unit. Couples will love the little details of the Honeymoon Suite. From its expansive terrace and intimate spaces to red or reconnect, the suite is the definition of luxury.   

The Intle experience and safari-style weddings  

At Intle Boutique Hotel, guests will never find themselves wondering how to spend their days with the variety of activities that make up the Intle experience. Dine on meals made from locally sourced ingredients at the on-site SigNature restaurant. Explore the area with the hiking and cycling trails or get up close to the reserve’s inhabitants. The infinity pool offers a full 180-degree view of the reserve. Guests unwind at the Intle Spa with a variety of massage treatments. 

With the backdrop of the rolling hills, the hotel offers itself as the ideal location for a safari-style wedding. With the help of staff, couples can bring their dream wedding to life.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
