About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A worldwide renowned property, which can be booked for a vacation of a lifetime!

The Old Fort Estate comes with two separate properties which can easily be combined or kept separate and private.

The Old Fort
The large renovated buildings have been completely rebuilt, using the same stone once part of the original property & forming the centre of an incredible 28-acre estate. The property was constructed with cobblestones and wood beams in the classic French-Mediterranean mansion-house style.

Five uniquely styled suites comfortably accommodate 12 guests. Within the main building lies a large banquet-style kitchen with a magnificent dining room area that turns into a magical setting at night. It includes a lounge with a fireplace and large screen TV with a soundbar.

Enjoy a home-style BBQ using the charcoal grill while surrounded by the Estate's stunning views and lush surroundings. Fibre optic cable ensures that the wifi is quick and reliable, making it easy for guests to stream their favourite shows, work remotely, or stay connected with friends and family.

The Sugar House
Sugar Mill House is a true gem in the heart of the Estate, providing guests with a unique blend of comfort, style, and history. So whether you're looking to relax and unwind or explore the Estate's rich history, Sugar Mill House is the perfect place to call home during your stay. Guests can totally relax in the two spacious, beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, each featuring a king-sized four-poster bed and accommodating 4 guests. The bedrooms are designed for ultimate comfort, with sitting areas, hardwood vanities, and stunning marble and glass sinks. The en-suite bathrooms have generous pebble showers, including a unique circular open-air design in one bedroom, offering a spa-like atmosphere while maintaining complete privacy.

Eco Estate
Both villas on the Old Fort Estate boast open-air designs, embracing the natural surroundings and eliminating the carbon footprint with the use of solar panels. Half of the suites are equipped with brand new air conditioning units, while the other half are designed to remain open to the cooling trade winds, benefiting from the natural airflow rising from the ocean below. Experience the ultimate blend of modern living, history, and eco-friendliness at the same time in this stunning carbon-neutral property.

Location
The Old Fort Estate is a true paradise of peace and serenity, yet still conveniently located just a short 10-minute drive from the bustling town of Port Elizabeth. From the bars and restaurants of the Belmont Walkway to the idyllic beaches of Princess Margaret and Lower Bay, guests have easy access to all the best this beautiful island offers. So whether you're looking to unwind in your own private oasis or take in the local sights and sounds, the Estate provides the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. So come, step into your own slice of heaven and experience the best this stunning island offers.

Outdoors
Immerse yourself in tropical serenity at the The Old Fort Estate. Take a dip in the stunning saltwater infinity pool and relax in the numerous shaded areas, or enjoy a rum punch while taking in the panoramic views of the Grenadine islands stretching to the horizon. With several comfortable sitting areas, terraces, and balconies surrounded by lush gardens, fruit trees, and exotic wildlife, you'll feel at one with nature as you wander through your private Estate. Experience the magic of the Old Fort Estate at night, with the spacious and centrally located entertaining areas perfect for gathering with friends and family.

Accolades & Recognition
The Old Fort Estate received numerous accolades and recognition over the years, including:
- Recommendations from international publications
- Hosting several celebrities
- High customer satisfaction ratings
- Rave reviews from guests who have visited the property
- A reputation as an exceptional retreat for families and friends

A magical setting for special events such as weddings or yoga retreats This Estate is truly a hidden gem that has been transformed into a property that guests never want to leave!

Power Boat
We encourage you to travel like a rock star on our 40 foot powerboat, which is the largest available. Snorkel with turtles at the idyllic paradise of the Tobago Cays, drink a Pina Colada with a celeb on Mustique, or have a lobster lunch at a deserted white sand beach on Isle a Quatre.

Additional Guests
This package allows you to accommodate 16 persons comfortably with there being an additional charge of 85 US$ nightly for each additional guest (45 US$ for kids depending on age).

Pool
As the property is extremely large and spacious, the pool which is large and tucked further away from the main buildings of the property, is also very private.
