Oubaai Golf Resort

Oubaai Golf Resort is situated on the seaboard of the Southern Cape in South Africa’s Province of the Western Cape, 18 km from the town of George. The Western Cape is the capitol of South Africa’s tourist industry boasting Cape Town, the Garden Route and the Wine Route. The Garden Route is an outstanding destination of choice, where one can enjoy quality time in magnificent surroundings. Oubaai is set on 254ha of gently undulating fynbos in the centre of the Garden Route, and includes the imposing valley of the Gwaing River.

The Resort of Oubaai sits between the rugged cliffs that meet the Indian Ocean, and the spectacular backdrop of the distant Outeniqua Mountains. Oubaai was originally agricultural land and hold a degree of historical significance – the bay is a natural deep-water harbor that, up until 150 years ago, was used for landing precious cargoes.

The subtleties of landscaping, architectural design, the fauna and flora of the area and the golf course all blend together to produce a unique ambiance. The exteriors of the houses are finished in a combination of painted walls that reflect the colors of the local geology and mosaics of large, roughly hewn blocks of sandstone, producing a pleasing natural effect. The resort features a lifestyle centre that has squash and tennis courts, a gymnasium, a sports shop and a restaurant. The final phase of the project is the building of a five-star Hyatt hotel, incorporating a convention centre and a health spa. The hotel has already begun construction and is due for completion in early 2009. The hotel will have 100 rooms initially, with space for a further 30 to be added at a later date, so taking the total number of rooms to 130.

17th oubaiThe eighteen-hole Ernie Els “Signature” Golf Course has all the makings of a championship venue and is the reason for the birth of this magnificent Resort which should be enjoyed by all. Whether you are looking for a quiet retreat for two or a great getaway with family and friends, Oubaai is the benchmark you’ve been waiting for.
