CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Peter Behr is the manager of the Kurland Hotel. He shows
me around the grounds of the hotel and asks, “Do you want to stay a night?” “Certainly,”
I reply. ”Your finest room.” ● A rose arched walkway brings a delightful country dignity
to this hotel and polo estate near Plettenberg Bay. ● The warm-cool contrasts of early
evening light play out the beauty of Cape Dutch architecture at Kurland. ● Remove the
gracious old palm and there is a stage, set with a rustic old English country hotel. ● Polo
horses show their muscled sheen as they take a break from training on the polo fields
at Kurland estate.
