🌿 What to Expect at Hills and Dales Accommodation - Where Nature Is the Luxury
Welcome to our charming, down-to-earth 3-star retreat, where rates reflect our honest grading and nature takes center stage. Our soul lies in the details: tranquil views, towering trees, and birdsong that drowns out the Wi-Fi. Lovingly referred to by guests as the ‘Garden of Eden’, our lush grounds invite you to relax, unwind, and reconnect with the natural world. If you're seeking peace, greenery, and authenticity, you'll feel right at home.
We’re not a five-star resort with marble floors or champagne fountains—and we don’t pretend to be. Instead, we offer a warm, welcoming haven with soul. If you're chasing glitz and grandeur, we might not be the right fit—and that's perfectly okay and you must follow your heart. But if you crave the kind of serenity you can’t buy, where nature whispers poetry and birds sing louder than your notifications, we’re ready to welcome you with open arms.
Come for peace, not polish—and leave feeling refreshed, not rushed.
Nestled across 23 hectares of rolling countryside within the tourism supply zone of the World Heritage Site, The Cradle of Humankind, Hills and Dales Accommodation offers a relaxed, homestyle escape—just 40 minutes from the bustle of Johannesburg and Sandton.
Whether you're planning a peaceful retreat for couples or families, a school reunion, farmers’ gathering, golf tour, milestone birthday celebration, team-building event, or a laid-back business meeting, we tailor each experience to suit your needs. For groups of 8 or more, we even offer Bush Paintball in our natural terrain for a bit of adventurous fun.
Surrounded by lush gardens, scenic views, and abundant birdlife, our property borders Lanseria Airport, making it a convenient yet serene getaway for leisure and business alike.

Splendid stay
What a splendid stay we had. The venue is impeccably clean. Our room, (Fish Eagle) was clean and well kept. The bathrooms are to die for. The view is out of this world. Douglas was such an incredible host and ensured what we needed was provided. An asset to the venue. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to others.
