Experience the wonder of nature and luxury at the Broughton Country Estate

Situated in the picturesque countryside of Colleen Glen on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth, Broughton Country Estate offers guests a luxurious getaway in which to enjoy the peaceful wonder of nature.

Set on one of the area’s highest points, sweeping mountain and sea views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from the Manor House, South Deck or pool area.

Guests can enjoy spending time sitting on the Sunset Deck or strolling around the property, which also plays host to an abundance of birdlife, small indigenous game, waterbuck and impala, which roam freely over the 19 hectares of rolling hills, coastal riverine bush and grasslands.

Extensive water features and gracious sweeping stairways around the Manor House also house a number of Quoi fish.

RELAX IN LUXURY AT BROUGHTON COUNTRY ESTATE

Tasteful interior at Broughton Country Estate

The Manor House offers guests a choice of five tastefully furnished double-rooms, each equipped with large en-suite bathrooms, double showers, underfloor heating, King-sized organic latex beds, a sitting area and wet-bar facilities.

Executive suites also boast free-standing slipper baths and exquisite countryside views from the sitting area’s large fold-open windows.

For those, who want to enjoy a more secluded experience, Broughton Country Estate offers three self-catering Chalets set around Broughton Dam. Each Chalet has an open-plan lounge and dining area, with a beautifully fitted-kitchen that has all the utensils and appliances you could possibly need to create some delicious home-made meals.

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR REST AND RELAXATION

Braai facilities are also available for self-catering guests wanting to enjoy a traditional braai under the stars. And while you wait for the food to finish, you can relax on the undercover veranda with a sundowner in hand as you enjoy the views of the beautiful dam, the abundant birdlife and small game as they come down to drink at sunset or one can enjoy sitting in one of the Gazebos which are topped with fairy lights.

In-room Spa treatments, as well as various day and multi-day special pamper and accommodation packages are also now available with a newly established partnership with Total Concepts Spa (pre-booking is essential).

Open to the public, Broughton Restaurant is as 5-Star as the accommodation. Their chef will take you on a delicious culinary experience filled with beautifully plated flavour. Their fine-dining à la carte menu has something for everyone, along with a good selection of fine wines from the wine cellar. You will not be disappointed. The waitrons are attentive and do whatever they can to ensure you have a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.

Gourmet tailor made menus for those special occasions and events are also very popular.   Broughton High Teas for those special occasions are the talk of the town but must be pre-arranged with their talented chef

For the business traveller and wedding planner, the Broughton Country Estate has excellent wedding and conferencing facilities, which can seat a number of guests from 8 to 100. Special arrangements can be made for larger events.

To make your booking, call 082 627 2066; email info@broughtoncountryestate.com or visit www.broughtoncountryestate.com.

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!
