“Such a lovely, warm and welcoming stay. I highly recommend 27 Hilltops and will definitely be back.”
The house itself was spectacular, comfortable, clean, spacious, and with stunning views. To top it all off, we had delightful visits from the resident dog, Shadow, which made the experience even more homely and memorable. From the moment we arrived, our hosts, Stuart and Nelia, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. They generously opened up their home to us, shared excellent recommendations on places to visit, and offered helpful tips for making the most of our stay. It exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

“Excellent stay - great house and host. Awesome views. Would go again.”
Its a very nice home away from home to stay at - it is well stocked with everything one needs in the kitchen, has a braai/bbq outside and an excellent lounge and outside terrace. For us though the fireplace made it super special - nothing better than an excellent fire in the evening and the host offers a huge pile of wood outside to use. The hosts are also great to chat with as very knowledgeable on the area.

Superbly located with a view that's truly one in a million. Breathtaking sunrises will rejuvenate the weariest traveler with the full comforts of home away from home.
