Mthatha (previously Umtata) is situated in the Eastern Cape, one of South Africa's most beautiful wilderness areas. It is also the gateway to the Wild Coast, where long, pristine beaches stretch for miles, broken only by the many rivers emptying into the sea.
The city of Umtata presents an harmonious blend of the old and new, with facades of colonial buildings alongside modern, contemporary structures providing a bustling, cosmopolitan community.
The Mthatha Garden Court (previously Garden Court Umtata) is the only premier hotel in Mthatha and is well located on the main road between East London and Durban, and is only 5km from the city centre and 17km from K D Matanzima Airport.
The hotel is set in an attractive garden and offers 116 well appointed guestrooms, a good restaurant and bar.
Relax beside the outdoor pool and plan the following day's itinerary, which could include trout fishing at the Mabeleni Dam, a scenic drive along the coastline. Port St Johns, world renowned for its perfect breaking waves and its safe, sandy beaches.
Mthatha Garden Court offers guests warm and friendly hospitality and the opportunity to experience some of South Africa's finest scenic attractions.
