Dune Ridge is a lovely Country House nestled between thick coastal fynbos teeming with a multitude of bird species, and large dune fields to the rear of the property. Set on the outskirts of the quaint upmarket village of St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, one gets to recapture the romantic mystique of an authentic African farm from centuries past.
Accommodation is offered in 4 garden suites in the main house, 2 garden cottages and 2 family cottages. This property welcomes children of all ages where the needs of children and families are catered for. Dune Ridge Country House is also ideal for a honeymoon destination or a weekend away.
The old homestead, reminiscent of an old farmhouse, takes you back to a bygone era where one gets to experience the breathtaking natural world of Africa, merged with old world nostalgia and modern sophistication, to deliver an unforgettably unique coastal and bush getaway.
The house was built in early 2000 utilising local as well as recycled materials. Reed patio ceilings, stone fireplace and walls, beautiful Oregon pine flooring and fixtures that still bear the mark of well-worn floors from an old school.
The guest house boasts a tranquil environment with large secure gardens, a beautiful and private swimming pool area for those lazy summer days, dune and coastal forest walks, as well as evening frog safaris, an in-house treatment facility, and a bush spa.
Dune Ridge Country House and its staff are extremely conservation conscious ensuring that the footprint of the guest house is at an absolute minimum, and practice fair trade principles to the best of their ability.
All produce utilised in the guest house either comes from its own gardens or sourced locally. All rubbish is separated and recycled and the wet matter all goes into the vermi-composter for the production of organic fertilizer.

7 guests' feedbackA very nice visit on our long road. The farm animals kept the children busy with the peace of mind that they are safe where they frolic. Cutest little house with fresh flowers and fresh milk in the fridge. It should be mentioned that there is a Nespresso machine for those who love good coffee as much as I do. A gas stove that helps in loadshedding. And filtered water that just makes life easier. 10 out of 10 in our books.
We loved the beautifully furnished cottage, and will definitely be back.
Would definitely stay there again and strongly recommend this guesthouse.
See stars.
We really enjoyed our stay and we would love to visit again.
We were treated like a royal couple and they made our wedding anniversary so special and memorable with their attention to the smallest detail and touches, and of course the gorgeous dining! An absolutely lovely stay. Thank you so very much to Sarah and Precious and the rest of the team behind the scenes for looking after us so well.
Really enjoyed our stay at Dune Ridge. Service was immaculate, although sometimes the attitude from hosts was a little dismissive and hassled. That being said, the stay was of high quality and the facilities were excellent.
