Hillston Farm

A gem of a find if you are looking for a farm get-away.

Absolute gem of a place - exactly what we were looking for. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life but I could still do some work while there. Our dogs also loved exploring the Karoo veld. The house is well equipped, especially for chilly winter nights.

Good.

Easy, comfortable, and felt welcome.

5/5.

Heerlik gebraai, gestort en geslaap!

Vreedsaam, rustig, net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Baie lekker gebly! Die is gasvrye mense. Die ou cottage is goed toegerus met ouwêreldse sjarme. Baie stil en baie rustig.

Moet vroeg arriveer om in blokhuis te braai.

Aangenaam. Heerlik geslaap.

Lovely!

We loved the cottage in the rural African countryside! We were welcomed with a hot meal and invited for the Sunday braai. We felt so welcome. Thanks to the whole family for making our stay at Hillston Farm so memorable!

Pragtige plaashuisie met die mooiste sterrehemel.

Ons wou lankal wegbreek na Hillston en sal beslis weer gaan.

Beautiful area. Relaxing stay.

Great place to chill after a long car journey.

Baie mooi plaas en lekker stil.

Was net waarvoor ons lus was na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Lovely old farm house.

Fenced-in for pets and located on a working farm. The block house next to the farmhouse invoked thoughts of Brit soldiers and Boer commandoes. Our two small doggies enjoyed the stay, especially the visit of a yellow mongoose.

Peaceful.

If you are looking for remote and off the grid away from hussle and bustle with no Wifi, this is the place for you.

Oornag op pad Kaap toe.

Vriendelike diens, alles het gewerk. Gerieflik en gemaklik.

Lekker kuier plaas en braai-area.

Perfek geleë in die karoo.

Net wat mens nodig het na 'n lang reis.

Dit het alles wat mens nodig het. Super netjies en 'n interessante storie. Ons het baie van die geskiedenis van die plek gehou. Die toe braai-area was net bietjie moeilik om in te braai (dit rook baie). Verder was alles perfek!

Lovely old farm cottage.

Very peaceful and tranquil, lovely overnight stop.

A wonderful oasis full of history and rural beauty.

It is always nice to have to open a gate to access ones accommodation as you know that you are on the farm. Hillston is no exception. A warm welcome and at the cottage the underfloor heating and the electric underblankets were already turned on. We asked to have both supper and breakfast and enjoyed both very much. We look forward to returning.

Wonderlike Karoo-plaaservaring.

Die mooiste sonopkomste en -ondergange. Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring. Lekker rondgestap op die plaas. Die huis is goed ingerig. Die 'geen elektrisiteit' was geen probleem, daar was meer as genoeg LED-ligte beskikbaar vir ons 2 aande. Die huis is toegerus met gas-yskas/vrieskas, gasstoof, gas-geyser ens. Op pad na die huis, moenie haastig wees nie - die pad is skik vir 'n voertuig met hoër clearance.

Pragtige Karooplaas.

Ons het die stilte, sterre en geskiedenis-ryke landskap baie geniet.

Excellent hospitality.

The cottage was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the surroundings were wonderful - a taste of real Karoo wilderness.

Heerlike, rustige omgewing.

'n Lekker, ruim plaashuis in 'n rustige, stil omgewing. Die braai-area in die ou blokhuis is 'n interessante ervaring.

Sal beslis weer oorslaap.

Heerlike, rustige plaaskuier, met ‘n pragtige, groot swembad.

Very unique, remote location in the middle of the Karoo with a spectacular of stars at night.

Our Hillston Farm stay was excellent. Very clean old farm house, fully equipped, no electricity but well equipped with candles and LED lights. Very remote and luckily we had all provisions needed for our two day stay. Very quiet with wonderful starlit evenings. Best to go with a few people. The house could easy accommodate 4 couples.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful setting.

Hosts were super helpful and friendly. The setting is very remote, 6 km from the main homestead, and meals were brought to us, which was a treat, as we were on bicycles. The meals were fantastic, and the accommodation and facilities were well presented and maintained. All in all, we would sincerely recommend this for a peaceful getaway.

Baie vriendelike mense.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, baie dankie!

Pragtige area, rustige atmosfeer.

Dis jammer ons het nie geleentheid gekry om die veelbesproke etes te proe nie, miskien is ons volgende keer gelukkig om die sjef daar te kry. Let wel daar is nie sein by die huisie nie en WiFi is by hoof opstal beskikbaar. Het heerlik geslaap, lekker vars en skoon beddegoed. Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Pragtige karaktervolle huisie en lapa.

Stilte is sielskos. Rustig en sterre pragtig.

Skoon en netjies.

Sielerus.

Dit was wonderlik om die wegbreek op die Karooplaas te hê. Die sterre is absoluut asemrowend in die aand en die vars lug is fantasties. Riana het moeite gedoen om ons op ‘n roete te vat wat die plaaservaring interessant gemaak het. Ek het gehoop dat my kinders bietjie meer direkte kontak met plaasdiere kon hê vir ‘n lekker plaaservaring, maar dis nie wat die verblyf aanbied nie. Die huis was skoon en gerieflik. Ek dink tog wel die prys is bietjie hoog in vergelyke met ander akkommodasies. Maar in kort, was dit ‘n baie lekker ervaring.

The food was out of this world.

What a pleasure! A very nice spot.

Perfect overnight stop en route in a stunning setting.

Ideal stopover accommodation on a picturesque farm off the main route. Delicious dinner served in the cottage by friendly family. Thank you!

All was good. For us much better than in a little village, peaceful.

As above. The tranquillity was good. We had warm blankets and the kitchen has all that is needed.

Baie basiese verblyf, woning is orals gekraak en was vuil binne.

Huisie is orals gekraak en baie basies vir wat jy betaal. Hulle was ook besig met herstelwerk en 8 uur die oggend begin kap aan die muur van ons slaapkamer.

Lekker stilword plekkie.

Lekker-bly huisie in 'n mooi omgewing. Baie voëls!

Highly recommended.

Well appointed, very spacious, very comfortable, with a wonderful opportunity to braai in a genuine Anglo Boer War blockhouse, wonderful bird life, very peaceful, Riana Southey very hospitable.

Baie rustige omgewing, tipies van 'n plaas.

Sien gerus die sterre.

Pragtig!

Oorgeslaap op pad Plettenbergbaai toe vanaf Gauteng. Heerlik en rustig.

Merkwaardig en baie vriendelik.

Sien gerus die sterre.

Terug na die goeie ou dae, so vreedsaam.

Hillston Farm is 'n lafenis vir 'n moeë siel na 'n lang pad, om net weer stil te staan in God se natuur en Sy handewerk in te neem is kos vir liggaam en siel.

Nie aan verwagting voldoen nie.

Dis van die hoofpad af. Jy draai om tot daar te ry. Nie die moeite werd nie. Nie aan ons verwagtinge voldoen nie.
