“My grandfather bought Kurland in 1941, back when it was still a little inn,” Peter recalls. “Horses and ox wagons would journey two weeks from Cape Town to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) — and the highway ran right past the front door.”⁠
⁠
That made Kurland a welcome stop before travellers tackled the wild passes of Nature’s Valley and Bloukrans.⁠

Kurland has worn many hats over the decades — from inn to private estate — but at her core, she’s always been a place for family, special gatherings, and the kind of slow, country living that leaves a mark on the soul.⁠
⁠
This week, we’re going back in time with Peter Behr, grandson of Kurland’s original owner, to share a few treasured memories from the estate’s storybook past…⁠

We may not have a restaurant open to the public anymore, but if you’re thinking about gathering your favourite people and staying at Kurland, we recommend bringing everyone together over a hearty curry or lamb spit – shared around long tables in Katarina’s barn. It’s the kind of cosy evening filled with good food, laughter, and memories that linger. Exclusively for in-house guests.⁠
Book a private stay this winter and make it one to remember.⁠

There are so many beautiful spots at Kurland to make a celebration feel unforgettable. Start with drinks in the paddocks — the views alone are reason to toast — before moving on to the Pavilion, Katarina’s, Homestead, or Villa for a memorable meal and evening to remember.⁠

Ah, the Villa…⁠
How about a ceremony by the stables, drinks on the front lawn, and dinner on the veranda with the forest all around you? It’s relaxed, refined, and completely unforgettable. ⁠

What a week at Kurland! From thrilling polo matches to unforgettable evenings under the stars, the Kurland Polo Classic brought together sport, celebration, and incredible camaraderie.⁠ Huge congratulations to Oriflamme for taking home the title.
⁠
There’s something about polo at Kurland—the rolling fields, the energy of the game, and the joy of gathering with friends, old and new. It’s a place where tradition meets warm hospitality, where every match is more than just sport—it’s a shared experience, a memory in the making. Until next time! 🥂 ⁠
