Ekonomies en pragtig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Hill Billy's. Die gashere was baie vriendelik. Die verblyf was ruim en het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Die gasstoof was ook 'n groot hulp as daar kragonderbrekings was. Die gronde is pragtig en ons kon dit vrylik verken, wat wonderlik was vir voëlkyk. Die ligging is ideaal vir al die aktiwiteite en inkopiegeleenthede wat die vallei bied. Die uitsig vanaf die huisie was net die beste (Cathkin Peak en Monks Cowl). Die enigste knaagplekke is dat die badkamers (veral die storte) net 'n klein bietjie skoner kon wees. Ons vermoed daar is ook een of ander diertjie wat in die plafon bly, wat nogal steurend kon wees deur die nag.

Economical and beautiful.

We had a great stay at Hill Billy's. The hosts were very friendly. The accommodation was spacious and had everything we needed. The gas stove was also a big help when there were power cuts. The grounds are beautiful and we were able to explore them freely, which was great for bird watching. The location is ideal for all the activities and shopping opportunities the valley has to offer. The view from the cottage was just the best (Cathkin Peak and Monks Cowl). The only gripes are that the bathrooms (especially the showers) could be just a little bit cleaner. We suspect that there is also some animal that lives in the ceiling, which could be quite disturbing during the night.

Home away from home.

We had a great time with the hosts on their vegetable farm. They made us feel right at home from the word go. Our cottage had a great view of the majestic Drakensberg. The swimming pool, which is less than 20m from the cottage, had the same view.

Bekostigbare maar pragtige verblyf en ligging.

Ons was ontvang deur die einaars en hulle was so baie hulpvaardig en toegewend. Die familie chalet wat ons in gebly het was baie goed toegerus en die kaggel so lekker in die koue aande. Die plek is 5 min letterlik van al die beste shopping en adventure activities. Pragtige uitsig van Champagne Castle vanuit jou eie private stoep. Ons sal vir seker hier kom bly keer na keer!

Affordable but beautiful accommodation and location.

We were received by the owners and they were so helpful and accommodating. The family chalet we stayed in was very well equipped and the fireplace so nice in the cold evenings. The place is literally 5 minutes from all the best shopping and adventure activities. Beautiful view of Champagne Castle from your own private veranda. We will definitely come and stay here again and again!

We will definitely return to Hill Billy Cottages. The hosts Hilda and Bill are so friendly and helpful. Their farm is beautiful and in a prime location next to those epic Drakensberg mountains. Hikes and other activities are really easily accessible from there. The cottage was cozy and had everything we needed.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, dankie!

Ons het die Drakensberge aangedurf met 3 oumas en 'n oupa om te gaan luister hoe ons skoolkoor by die Drakies sing. Ons het 2 eenhede gebruik en albei was goed toegerus en gerieflik. Bo en behalwe die pragtige natuurskoon was die seunskoor ongelooflik en is werklik 'n besoek werd.

We ventured into the Drakensberg with 3 grandmothers and a grandfather to listen to our school choir sing at the Drakies. We used 2 units and both were well equipped and comfortable. On top of the beautiful scenery, the boys' choir was amazing and really worth a visit.

Ongelooflike uitsig op Champagne Castle, vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou.

Die gasvrou Hilda het ons baie vriendelik verwelkom en haar man was net so vriendelik. Ons het baie tuis gevoel. Die plekkie is baie goed ingerig met alles wat mens nodig het en het soos 'n tweede huis gevoel. Ons het 'n baie mooi uitsig op Champagne Castle gehad en die nabye vallei, dis 'n mooi gebied. Ons het die naweek baie geniet en ook al die besienswaardighede in die omgewing geniet, veral die Lifestyle Sentrum met verskillende heerlike, verleidelike kosse. Ons naweek was so lekker, ek sal weer teruggaan soontoe, volgende keer net langer. Ek kan dit regtig aanbeveel 5/5.

The hostess Hilda welcomed us very kindly and her husband was just as friendly. We felt very much at home. The place is very well furnished with everything you need and felt like a second home. We had a very nice view of Champagne Castle and the nearby valley, it's a nice area. We really enjoyed the weekend and also enjoyed all the attractions in the area, especially the Lifestyle Center with various delicious, tempting foods. Our weekend was so nice, I will go back there again, next time just longer. I can really recommend it 5/5.

A comfortable family stay.

We had a blessed Christmas at Hill Billy. Hilda our host was polite, approachable and very friendly. Trilled at the hiking terrains despite the rains. The property itself had a walking trail around it. Great location, enjoyed the privacy, excellent views from the cottage. Got to spot variety of birds anytime of the day, a bat and even a big rabbit while having coffee on the patio.

Ons het 'n heerlike 5 dae in die berge geniet.

Ons verblyf by Hill Billy Cottages was heerlik. Die eienaars het ons baie tuis laat voel en ons voorsien van heerlike hout vir die houtstofie (wat 'n absolute wenner!) en vir die braai. Die eenheid is baie goed ingerig. Die varsprodukte-mark wat op die plaas bedryf word, maak ook dat mens nie eers hoef te ry vir melk, brood en ander noodsaaklikhede nie. Ons 5 dae in die berge het saamgeval met die oproere in KZN en die eienaars het ons op hoogte gehou oor die gebeure, watter paaie veilig was, of brandstof 'n krises was, en ook gevra of hulle ons op enige ander manier kon bystaan.

We enjoyed a lovely 5 days in the mountains.

Our stay at Hill Billy Cottages was lovely. The owners made us feel very much at home and provided us with delicious wood for the wood stove (what an absolute winner!) and for the braai. The unit is very well furnished. The fresh produce market operated on the farm also means that one does not even have to drive for milk, bread and other essentials. Our 5 days in the mountains coincided with the riots in KZN and the owners kept us informed about the events, which roads were safe, if fuel was a crisis, and also asked if they could assist us in any other way.

Gelukkig het ons net 2 aande daar geslaap!

Op die oog af het dit nie te sleg gelyk nie, maar glad nie soos op die foto nie. Plek was vol spinnerakke en spinnekoppe. Ons het 'n hele blik Doom uitgespuit. Die plek het nie skoonmaakpersoneel nie. Ons moes eie bed opmaak, uitvee en skottelgoed was. Die braai was skoon toe ons daar aankom maar dit is glad nie die volgende dag skoongemaak nie. Nie R1000 'n nag werd nie. Die hek moes ons oopskuif en dan gesukkel om dit toe te sluit. Dit lyk of daar elektriese heining om die plek is maar daar was geen krag op die heining nie.

Luckily we only slept there for 2 nights!

On the surface it didn't look too bad, but not at all like the picture. Place was full of cobwebs and spiders. We spouted a whole can of Doom. The place does not have cleaning staff. We had to make our own bed, clean and wash dishes. The braai was clean when we got there but it was not cleaned at all the next day. Not worth R1000 a night. We had to slide the gate open and then struggle to close it. It looks like there is an electric fence around the place but there was no power on the fence.

Picturesque location, neat and safe cottage.

Picturesque location, neat and safe cottage however, we found it unacceptable when the owner asked us to leave at 9:30 the afternoon prior our departure because there were other guests arriving on the day. That did not sit well with any of us as we felt that our being there was now an inconvenience and we should make way for new guests, new money.

Gerieflik geleë en besonderse mooi uitsig.

Van die oomblik wat ons daar gekom het, het ons welkom gevoel. Die plekkie is volledig toegerus en ons kon werklik net geniet wat daar te bied was. Pragtige uitsig op die berge en plekkie sentraal geleë.

Great stay at Hill Billy Cottages.

We went down to Champagne Valley for a wedding and stayed at Hill Billy's just for one night. The stay was lovely. I queried beforehand if we might check in earlier than the check in time and the owner was very helpful and replied quickly asking that we just call when we arrive. They were very friendly and welcomed us to the area with open arms. Disappointed that we could only stay for one night, would definitely return.

Hillbilly Cottages is well positioned to most if not all attractions within the Champagne Valley.

Our host was friendly and very helpful during our 4 night stay. We will make use of this accommodation on future visits to the area. Hilda and her spouse Bill were friendly and accommodating and provided useful information about the area.

A very neat, tidy and comfortable cottage of your own in tranquil and safe surroundings.

A fenced free standing cottage with covered parking and automated gate was great to have, made us feel safe so as to enjoy the tranquillity of this farming environment. A well maintained and well furbished interior with all of its provisions made for a good and comfortable living. The literature and pamphlets provided on the dining table makes for an informant Champagne Valley. Unfortunately we could not visit all that was on offer due to timing as certain places closed earlier and some closed all together as it was the weekend. A meet, greet and little chat with Hilda brought out the friendliness of a good host. Great, enjoyed our short stay as it was a stopover on our road trip to Mpumalanga and elsewhere. Will recommend this cottage. Just a thought: Maybe Hill Billy could look at lighting up the signage area at the roadside entrance way and a little sign on the left a few meters before the entrance, taking the terrain and situation into account. Thanks!

Value for money and fantastic kitchen.

Outside sign near road could be better as almost missed - tree growing in front of it. It is a bit dated and rustic but for the price you pay it is very good value for money. Fantastic kitchen with big fridge all the equipment you need. Beautiful fire place for winter. For the price I would certainly use it again. Suggestion when the wind is blowing the tree branches scrape across the tin roof. Suggest that should be cut back. Close to major hotels and to Winteron.

Onder standaard akkommodasie.

Skoon selfsorg-eenheid, maar geleë op 'n plasie/plot waarvan aktiwiteite sigbaar is. Kon nie behoorlike stort neem nie want waterdruk het opgeraak. Op TV is net free to air kanale beskikbaar en dekodeerder het gevries. Elektriese bekabeling voldoen nie aan statutêre vereistes nie o.a. 220 volt kabels wat met “chocolate blocks” geheg word. Veiligheidsdeur kan nie behoorlik toemaak nie.

The accommodation was acceptable.

The location is very good and the house was well equipped and neat and clean. Unfortunately, the furniture is very old and really needs attention. A neater garden or trim around the house will look better. The braai facilities outside also need attention. We had a great time nonetheless.

Super staying on a farm, but it should be mentioned in the write-up.

A little problem with leaking due to heavy rains, but it can easily be resolved. But we didn't get the cottage advertised - don't know where that was/is?

Hi Sharyn,
The roof has been repaired and I'm sorry it leaked. We just painted it and that was the first rain since.
The A-frame is next to the swimming pool, as far as I can recall you asked for unit 1 and unit 3.
The A-frame has stairs and sleeps 6.
It was lovely meeting you and I hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

Hilda.

A convenient and cosy place to stay with very helpful and friendly hosts.

This is a very cosy cottage with all the amenities including a braai and full security fence with lockable gate. There is undercover parking for the car. Lovely garden with trees. The hosts, William and Hilda, were very attentive. They gave us a gas cooker and numerous portable lamps to cope with the load shedding. Highly recommended!

Absoluut ongelooflik en fantasties!

Hilda is 'n baie aangename gasvrou en die kothuis is 'n oase. As jy op die stoep sit het jy die mooiste uitsig op die berg, die voëllewe is onbeskryflik: valke, duiwe, suikerbekkies, swaeltjies en die hoep-hoep loop op die stoep voor jou verby. Dit was ongelooflik, gaan beslis weer terugkom en sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat wil wegkom van die stadsgewoel. Daar is die heerlikste restaurante om by te eet aan beide kante van die kothuis.

Absolutely amazing and fantastic!

Hilda is a very pleasant hostess and the cottage is an oasis. If you sit on the stoep you have the most beautiful view of the mountain, the bird life is indescribable: hawks, pigeons, ospreys, swallows and the whoop-whoop pass by on the stoep in front of you. It was amazing, will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are the most delicious restaurants to eat at on both sides of the cottage.
