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.
