Thank you everyone at Hills and Dales

We had our year end function at Hills and Dales Accommodation, and it was great.  The accommodation is clean and Jabulani is a great venue. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.  Douglas and Solomon helped me a lot.  Tim and Diane are very friendly and helpful as well.  I will recommend Hills and Dales Accommodation to anyone for a function.  Thank you everyone at Hills and Dales.

Exception assistance

Firstly, I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Hills and Dales Accommodation TEAM for the exceptional assistance in making our event truly special.  The Venue, accommodation, food, hospitality and everything else were just perfect which will be an unforgettable memory.

Beautiful Venue with breathtaking views

We had a great time with our event held at the Lapa. Beautiful Venue with breathtaking views of the swimming pool and nature that surrounded us! The spit braai was done in style and was delicious with all the sides! I love the fact that all the guests had accommodation as well! Therefore, we could sit around the fire boma till early in the morning, after the rugby (where they provided us with a TV to watch the Springbok game as well) and have our great meal. The units are neat and clean, equipped with everything you need. We even stayed the next day as well, having family time and made a nice potjie. From the day of the reservations until we left, Douglas and Diane (and her husband), gave us excellent service. They are negotiable, helpful and very friendly. Thank you for everything! It was a GREAT weekend! You will see us again 💖

The most splendid sunrises

The outlook from the deck is breathtaking.  The most splendid sunrises right ahead and just vegetation, no buildings in sight.  It really is a country estate.  You feel like you are in nature with fresh air...  The fireplace is awesome, and the unit is extremely comfortable and peaceful.  They have other units on-site, but this one is the best.  The staff is so helpful and attentive.  It was a really good stay.  You will want to return to this place.

Perfect for weekend getaway

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful house! The hosts were extremely considerate, friendly and responsive. The property is beautiful, with lush green grass, surrounding open view, plenty of birds and a clear view of the night sky. Perfect for a weekend getaway for quality time with loved ones. Would definitely be back!

Peaceful and safe

I needed to reboot my soul. I also needed to work on my relationship as I’ve been abandoning it because of work. This place gave me the opportunity to do both of that. I was able to get my kind back on track and to also get back to being a leader in the relationship. It is very quiet if you love nature and love trees this is the place for you. The air is refreshing.

Great self-catering facilities

A well-run and extremely clean and kept cottage rented for our accommodation needs. All items were provided for, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Most beautiful and awesome place we have ever been at

This was the most beautiful and awesome place we have ever been at... great pools, clean rooms, absolutely friendly and good service.  We'll definitely visit there again.

A great experience

We had a friends reunion braai at the Lapa and most of us stayed over.  We booked the Lapa for a private function.  The venue is in Gauteng but the view makes you feel you are in the countryside.  The hosts were amazing, friendly and want you to have a good time.  Most of us slept at the Venue in the Swallow, Hadeda and Starling.  All, again, with a great view. Accommodation was clean and perfect for our needs.  I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good old bring and braai, and sleep over when you are not able, or want to drive :).  Young and old enjoyed it thoroughly and all my guests had only praise for the chosen Venue.

Relaxed, comfortable, clean and spacious. I’ll definitely come back provided it’s not overbooked. (I shouldn’t write such a positive review)

If you're looking for a relaxing and quiet place close to the city than this is it! We very much enjoyed our stay in the middle of nature - we loved the bird life and to be close to the Cradle where we were cycling regularly. It is an absolute beautiful place and very secure. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Diane and Tim!

The place is very nice and super clean

The place is very nice and super clean. If you want to wake up to a peace and quiet place with an amazing view, Hills and Dales is for you. I enjoyed the pool next to my room I also liked the fact that there's a small braai stand outside my room. I'd def recommend this place to anyone.

The Venue is spactacular

There are many attractions nearby

The location of the hotel is very close to the Hartbeespoort Dam, and there are many attractions nearby, such as cradle moon, Hartier River Hiking Trail, Lion & Safari Park, Ama Zwing Zwing Zipline, all within 20 minutes by car, and the Dutch village Jasmyn Farm is not far away, the Netherlands The village can purchase fruits, flowers, food, and delicious restaurants. There is a lively market in the north of the dam with live singing, and the pig's feet are also delicious and cheap. The room arrangement is very comfortable. In addition to the bedroom, there is a living room and a kitchen refrigerator. There is also a balcony with outdoor tables and chairs. It feels great to sit outdoors and overlook the endless scenery. The two lovely cats raised by the hotel owner will come to accompany you. Very nice stay experience.

What a gem! The owners and staff are fantastic, and the grounds and rooms are beautiful. Well-appointed with all the necessary items for a perfect stay. Wasn't sure about the location as we were driving in but once on the property it is just ideal. Close to the airport too. Highly recommend a meal prepared by the owner/staff. So nice to have a homecooked meal when on the road. Perfect stay!

Great tranquil breakaway

From the booking to the completion of our stay the owners, staff and premises, atmosphere were awesome!  Lovely, tranquil and serene.  It was a quiet weekend breakaway we needed, and that is exactly what we got.

Like being at home

I enjoyed my stay so much!  Everybody was so friendly, helpful and I always got informed about all changes.  The whole farm is like a park and you always find a silent place just for yourself!  This location is just next to a famous golf course, designed by Gary Player!  A must play and see for every golfer!  

Thanks for the great holiday!

Baie aangenaam, pragtige akkommodasie, hulpbaardige gasheer (Tim) en gasvrou (Diane).  Onse het in die pragtige, ruim ‘Fish Eagle Lodge’ gebly en het dit baie geniet.  Alles was perfek.  Met ons aankoms het Tim help aflaai en ‘n kaggel het gesellig gebrand.  Da Vince (one jack russell) was welkom en het dit net so geniet.  Hy kon vrylik rond beweeg en het vriende gemaak met Tim en Diane se hondjies.  Ons sal graag weer by Hills and Dales Accommodation cc wil vertoef.

Peace and tranquility! Beautiful river view, just what you need to quiet your mind and escape the city buzz.  We enjoyed the morning airplane take offs with fresh coffee and AMAZING GINGER BISCUITS from the lounge window.  Douglas was the perfect host assistant making sure we are comfy and at home

Diane’s place is amazing, with a beautiful garden and astonishing view. Besides all of these things, it is big and clean.  I cannot even describe the hospitality and helpfulness of Diane and Tim, which was really important to me as a solo woman traveller.  Thank you very much Diane!! Your accommodation is highly recommended!!
