Quiet and complete. An ideal road trip stopover.

A wonderful find 500m from the N1. Nestled behind a hill, there is no road noise. The accommodation has been carefully restored with a modern bathroom that blends in. Everything needed for a stopover between Johannesburg and the Great Karoo is at hand. It's definitely my first choice for all future trips.

Watter idilliese familieplaas waar ons ure lank kon stap en diere kyk!

In Hillside se Tree House, waarin ons gebly het, was drie slaapvertrekke met ses beddens en drie badkamers met 'n pragtige eetkamer en kombuis, en etes wat op ons tafel afgelewer is. Die familie se voetspore lê al langer as 'n eeu op Hillside. Ons het ons nie net verstom oor die pragtige tuin nie, maar ure lank in alle rigtings op die plaas gestap en foto's geneem, ook van die gesonde skape en stoetbeeste. Ons sien uit na 'n volgende kuier!

What an idyllic family farm where we could walk and watch animals for hours!

In Hillside's Tree House, which we stayed in, there were three bedrooms with six beds and three bathrooms with a beautiful dining room and kitchen, and meals delivered to our table. The family's footprints have been on Hillside for over a century. We were not only amazed by the beautiful garden, but spent hours walking in all directions on the farm and taking pictures, also of the healthy sheep and stud cattle. We look forward to our next visit!

Outydse Vrystaatse plaas atmosfeer. Die hond Nala is te oulik.

Ideaal vir oornag tussen Kaap en Gauteng. Lekker lamskerrie vir aandete (addisioneel). Ligte ontbyt vir vroeg in die pad val.

Old-fashioned Free State farm atmosphere. The dog Nala is too cute.

Ideal for overnight between Cape and Gauteng. Nice lamb curry for dinner (additional). Light breakfast for an early fall on the road.

Luukse verblyf en fantastiese kos.

Die luukse tree house was 'n aangename verrassing. Die diens was fantasties en die aandete uit die boonste rakke. Ons ontbyt was selfs vir ons ingepak omdat ons vroeg gery het. Sal beslis weer daar bly.

Luxurious accommodation and fantastic food.

The luxury tree house was a pleasant surprise. The service was fantastic and the dinner top notch. Our breakfast was even packed for us because we were driving early. Will definitely stay there again.

Puik oornag stop op N1.

Perfekte oornag stop tussen Gauteng en die Kaap. Die cottage was netjies, goed ingerig en ver genoeg van die N1 af dat dit stil is. Aandete met skaap kerrie (additioneel, en op versoek) was heerlik, en by die cottage afgelewer op tyd. Mooi tuin en bome. Kommunikasie was puik! Sal beslis weer gebruik as oornag stop!

Great overnight stop on N1.

Perfect overnight stop between Gauteng and the Cape. The cottage was tidy, well furnished and far enough from the N1 that it is quiet. Dinner with mutton curry (additional, and on request) was delicious, and delivered to the cottage on time. Nice garden and trees. Communication was great! Would definitely use again as an overnight stop!

Perfect stay over from or to Johannesburg.

This place is just off the N1, but once you drive into the property you immediately forget you are so close to the N1. This place has a beautiful garden and plenty of space for walks after a long day in the car or before beginning the last stretch to Johannesburg. Don't forget to ask for their dinner option. They have very nice food that gets delivered to your chalet. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is also a very nice swimming pool to relax around.

Hillside Farm was a great overnight stay.

We received a very warm welcome by Kate, the host. We enjoyed the delicious evening meal she had prepared for us (lamb curry, Bobotie and chicken curry). The history of the farm was very interesting.

Lekker plaas.

Lekker ruim, luuks, gerieflik en gemaklik. Mooi swembad en braai geriewe met selfs 'n pragtige tennisbaan en staproete. Ons eenheid was op die boonste vloer wat dalk genoem kan word in die beskrywing vir mense wat nie kan trappe klim nie, maar baie netjiese mooi stylvol oorgedoen met luukshede wat mens nie verwag nie. Heerlike ontbyt en ons het lekker gebraai by die swembad. Die pad is net bietjie moeilik as jy off road karavaan of enige groot karavaan sleep. Tydens ons verblyf het ons borde gekort en braaibak en Paulina was baie behulpsaam met alles wat nodig was. Baie lekker en rustig.

Nice farm.

Nice and spacious, luxurious, convenient and comfortable. Nice swimming pool and braai facilities with even a beautiful tennis court and walking trail. Our unit was on the top floor which might be mentioned in the description for people who can't climb stairs, but very neat and stylishly redone with luxuries that you don't expect. Delicious breakfast and we had a nice barbecue by the pool. The road is just a bit difficult if you are towing an off road caravan or any large caravan. During our stay we ran short of plates and barbecue and Paulina was very helpful with everything that was needed. Very nice and peaceful.

Alles uit die boonste rakke. Van die ontvangs tot die akkommodasie was alles om ons tuis te voel in hulle wêreld.
