“Absolutely magnificent!”
This is an absolute gem! We were in such awe with the all of the beautiful details around the studio. This property definitely exceeded our expectations and if we ever need to stay in Hilton again, we will not hesitate. Upon arrival we were met with the most serene feeling. And a bunch of flowers with a handwritten note. The hosts are extremely helpful and accommodating. They have mastered how to make guests feel at home. 100/10 stay!

“Lovely, going back next week!”
The property and rooms were stunning. The hosts were extremely helpful, kind, and friendly- they even included my doggie's name on the welcome sign! The kitchen is amazingly stocked with equipment and even supplies; it feels like your own home; everything you need is there. The view is lovely, and the quiet is such an amazing breakaway.

“Beautiful home away from home”
The Studio is like a home away from home. Everything is so thoughtfully put together. Decent size coffee mugs, glasses etc. The extra touches with the milk, coffee, tea, hot chocolate! Even marshmallows to roast in the fire. Wood, charcoal and firelighters provided for the braai and the fire. Beds are super comfy with lots of blankets. It's all just been fantastic.

“Home away from home”
The Studio is impeccably clean. They have every appliance you might need, top quality cooking equipment and utensils. The decor is detailed and the outside table under the awning is a beautiful place to eat meals together. The fireplace is well stocked, like the rest of the place, everything is thoroughly thought out and provided for by the attentive host.
