A Hilltop Country Retreat

 
 

Description

Add an experience to your memories. A Hilltop Country Retreat offers a variety of self-catering rooms to choose from, modern and functional but put together with an artistic slant. Most finishes and furniture were made by local entrepreneurs and artists, and the spacious rooms make a longer term stay easy and comfortable.

Our accommodation offers great value for money and all rooms feature en-suite bathrooms and fully equipped self-catering kitchens, while private patios offer spectacular views of the garden, Langeberg Mountains and Swellendam itself. Sleeping here takes on a new meaning, with king-size beds fitted with 100% cotton sheets and down duvets. Twin beds can also be requested upon making your reservation.

We offer guests the option of a fully stocked fridge for breakfast, so you can enjoy it in the privacy of your own room or patio, at a time convenient for yourself and your family. Or if you don’t feel like going out for lunch, you can enjoy a picnic in the garden. At the end of the day, relax and unwind in a restful environment away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to explore Swellendam’s attractions. A Hilltop Country Retreat treats you to high standards of hospitality throughout, but it’s also a great base for trips and excursions.

The town of Swellendam has earned its notoriety as a popular traveller’s destination thanks to its breathtaking nature and its incomparable charm. We are athlete-friendly and can point you in the right direction for a good workout, with a five-minute walk taking you straight into the mountains.

Only a two hour scenic drive from Cape Town or George, Swellendam is ideally situated for visitors to the Garden Route and the Little Karoo. A charming farming town located in the largest youngberry growing area in the world, it is an ideal centre for touring the Breede River Wine Route, visiting Agulhas, the southern-most tip of Africa, walking in Marloth Nature Reserve, or visiting the Bontebok and de Hoop Nature Reserve.

Lana was an amazing hostess. She recommended restaurants, booked us into a spa the next day and told us about every interesting place in Swellendam we should visit.
5 Star accommodation!
Nikki Bodenstein, South Africa

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at A Hilltop Country Retreat. The gardens are perfectly landscaped, the rooms tastefully decorated with only the best and Lana's attention to every detail is very obvious. She made our stay unforgettable! We will definitely be back!

Winter Special Offer

Dinner, Bed & Breakfast @ R550pppn, sharing.
Who said winter is not the best time for a few days away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Arrive and stay in for dinner: home-made soup (vegetarian & non-vegetarian) with freshly baked bread followed by home-made apple crumble served with custard. A complimentary bottle of our best local red will round off the meal. Snuggle in front of the wood fire in the privacy of your own room, watch some old favourites or read a book. We offer a selection of movies and books for guests to choose from. For the more active, bring your running shoes, your mountain bike or hiking boots and enjoy the Langeberg mountains and Marloth Nature reserve which is a mere 10 min walk away
