Best Hilltop stay
Lana was a excellent hostess. Great property , well kept and very friendly, accommodating team. I suggest having the braai on site as you can order in sides from Lana and go to the local butcher for great meat. Get Great experience and you get to sit to sit at a fire with a glass or two of wine. Fun time!! I would highly recommend staying here s we will be back for sure.

Beautiful room
We loved our stay at Hilltop. The service was exceptional. The front desk was very helpful. We were greeted with a map of the local area and recommendations on where to eat for dinner. The room was extremely spacious. The wood stove was a highlight.

Nice cosy cottage stay
Got a free room upgrade to a family suite. A little too big as there was only 2 of us, but it was nice to have a fireplace.

Wonderful lodge with beautiful views
This little find was perfect for our night stay. The room was so lovely and had all the little touches to make our stay perfect. It was a little cold but the open fire made it wonderful and cosy. On our arrival we popped to the store and had a bbq as all the equipment is there for your use. The internet was possibly the best we had in SA on our trip. I cannot fault this place it’s a perfect little lodge. One thing to note is that if you go for bed and breakfast then you have to make the breakfast yourself and they will just pop the items in your fridge.

Truly a retreat
The location on the very edge of a nature reserve is stunning. It really is a retreat - the sound in the morning is bird song. Thoughtful touches of coffee and the basic necessities so you can settle in and use the kitchen. We stayed twice going up and down the Garden Route and we will certainly go back.
