It’s the perfect stay for those who want to head out and explore without being tied into a resort, while also wanting somewhere peaceful and private to return home to.
The Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort is named and inspired by former resident, the 19th-century Irish naturalist Charles Telfair. It’s situated in the foothills of the Black River Gorges National Park, making it ideal for nature and hiking enthusiasts.
