Peaceful, relaxing surrounded by nature.

We absolutely loved the rest and relaxation that this location gave us. The pool is such a welcome addition. We swam at least 3 times a day. It was also great to be able to braai. The host was amazing and our daughter loved the horse riding. We wanted the location to spend time away from everything and to spend time with our South African family. We will definitely return.

A wonderful wintry weekend.

Had a lovely stay ─ appreciated the underfloor heating and lovely big fire that was already lit when we arrived! Magic views, beautiful fynbos and King Proteas along the road, a little bit of game viewing, board games and fun. Not far from Gansbaai. Only downside was that the water pressure was very low, which was a shame.

Dear Mandy
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are working at restoring the water pressure by changing the pressure pumps to solar so the lack of electricity will not be a factor. Hopefully, all will be in place with your next visit.

Heavenly. Gorgeous.

What a gem. It's the most gorgeous place. The place is immaculately decorated and clean. It is safe and the dogs just loved it here. We helped ourselves out of Norman's (the gardener) veg garden and made the most delicious dishes. We also ordered the free-range eggs and loved them. Heidi (manager) cannot do enough for us- amazing lady. We extended our stay for a day because we really do not want to leave. Bedding and bathrooms are 5-star. Loved this place and hope to see you soon.

Gasvry. Uitsig. Luuks.

Ons het in Hilltop gebly, pragtige uitsig oor die vallei en berg. Ondervloerse verhitting was 'n wenner in die koue, selfs ons honde het soos konings geslaap. Ons sal graag weer daar oorbly. Dankie.

Heerlike ervaring.

Ons het twee aande oorgeslaap, maar ons sou vir seker langer bly as ons kon. Ongeag die stormweer wat buite gewoed het, het ons geen ongemak ervaar nie. Bestuur was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Heidi, baie dankie vir julle wonderlike diens en gasvryheid.

Heidi was baie gasvry en hulpwaardig. Ons het baie meer gekry as wat ons gehoop het. Wens ons kon langer bly. Ons sal dit beslis aanbeveel. Dis nie 'n oorslaapplek nie, tyd is nodig om dit ten volle te geniet en waardeer.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons het elke oomblik geniet en kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

Keurig en smaakvol, met al die spesiale bederwe wat mens tuis laat voel. Soos die tuisgemaakte heuning, regte moerkoffie, regte beskuit. Die plek ooze van ontspan, afpak en bene opsit. Gaan probeer gerus self. Jy sal nie teleurgesteld wees nie!

Rus en vrede, luuksheid en ruimte.

Groter as wat die foto’s kan wys, stilte en vrede wat jy self moet ervaar, en die pluk van spinasie en skorsies uit Norman en Elizabeth se tuin als deel van ‘n onvergeetlike ervaring saam met my ouers, my eggenoot en ons seun.

Rest and peace, luxury and space.

Bigger than the photos can show, silence and peace that you have to experience for yourself, and picking spinach and squashes from Norman and Elizabeth's garden as part of an unforgettable experience with my parents, my husband and our son.

Fantastic place to stay with fantastic hosts.

We were greeted by Heidi on arrival. The cottage was stunning and clean, you have everything you need. There are lots of extra little things that they have provided in the cottage to make your stay a pleasant one. We did some game viewing, cycled and walked the dog in this beautiful surroundings. Heidi and her husband were very helpful and friendly. They told us all about what was happening on the farm. The Cleaning staff did a great job and were also very friendly. We would love to go again.
