Highly recommended, very comfortable and very spacious room. Would love to come back for longer stay next time, one night was just too short.
Lana het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te help. Sal beslis weer hier bly. Baie mooi plek en dorp
Uitstekende, vriendelike diens en personeel. VJ en Jane wat ons ontvang het was baie professioneel en behulpsaam. Die eenhede is baie mooi gedoen en die tuin is pragtig. Sal graag weer hier bly.
Ons het baie lekker hier gebly en die eienaars is so goed voorberei vir gaste se aankoms. Die selfsorgkamers is baie mooi en gerieflik ingerig. Sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel!
Ons was aangenaam verras met ons aankoms. Die luuksheid, netheid, volledigheid en diens was bo verwagting, en Hilltop het ons lysie gehaal van plekke om weer te besoek.
Pragtige juweel. Baie netjies en met smaak versier. Filterkoffie en lieflike ontbyt was ‘n treffer. Goed versorgde tuine en baie detail orals. Sal vir seker weer daar kuier!
Vriendelike ontvangs, ‘n huis wat jou nooi om te ontspan, alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Die weelde van kaggelkuier maak familietyd spesiaal. Slaaptyd onder kraakvars beddegoed bring rus vir moeë lywe. Hier sal ons gou weer kom afpak!
Die plek is vir my absoluut waarde vir geld. Dit is lekker veilig geleë met uitsig oor Swellendam en die berg. Kamer is groot en by uitnemendheid skoon en ingerig vir selfsorg. Lekker ver van die hoofstraat se geraas, maar ook na genoeg om by die talle restaurante uit te kom.
Ons kom beslis weer na hierdie pragtige huisvesting met sy puik diens en gasvryheid. Beslis ‘n wenresep.
Ons het ‘n heerlik gekuier by A Hilltop Country Retreat!
Aangename ontvangs! Goed toegerus vir oorslaapbehoeftes. Ruim vertrekke.
A Hilltop Retreat is rustig en ons het dit baie geniet. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.
Bespreek gerus hier. Die beste verblyf in Swellendam. Stil, rustig, alles wat nodig is en van hoogstaande gehalte.
Ons het in kamer 7 gebly. Lieflike spasie en baie gesellig.
Uiters vriendelike ontvangs, pragtige decor met alles wat ons sou wou he, insluitend ‘n groot vuurmaakplek. Ons het ‘n verniet ‘upgrade’ gekry en in die groot familiehuis gebly, wat ongelooflik was na ‘n lang dag op die pad. Die omgewing is baie stil en die verniet sjerrie en wifi het ons laat voel asof ons regtig waardeer is. Hulle gee meer as wat hulle vra.
Het ons kuier baie geniet. Sal verkies dat daar Rooibostee ook beskikbaar is.
Just like on the photos. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay and will visit again.
Soos die naam aandui was dit werklik ‘n “retreat”. Ons verwagtinge is oortref – die tarief baie billik, baie netjies en ons kan beslis nie nalaat om melding te maak van die uiters vriendelike diens van Lana en Jane nie. ‘n Opvolg besoek – sonder twyfel!
Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly by A Hilltop! Ons het twee aande daar gebly en is opgegradeer na 2 slaapkamer, 2 badkamer huis. Alles is ongelooflik skoon en netjies en die ontvangs was baie welkom en vriendelik. Daar is absoluut niks om te kritiseer van hierdie wonderlike plek nie.
The room is large and comfortable. Bed and bedding was excellent. Kitchenette was not really up to the same high standard. Under-worktop cupboard does not give a very hygienic appearance. Cutlery a hotch-potch variety. The selfhelp bar-fridge, welcoming sherry and rusks for breakfast were all appreciated. The bathroom lighting leaves much to be desired! Shower may be modern minimalistic (clinker brick dividing wall, epoxy-coated plaster floor, no shower curtain), but one does “involuntarily curl up one’s toes!” Unfortunately, the French couple in the adjacent room had a late night. With this sort of layout, it is however unavoidable and actually is to be expected when a guesthouse offers multiple rooms. My unit did not have a fireplace, but it was not really required.
Die plek is stylvol met alles wat ‘n mens benodig. Die mense ontvang jou werklik goed en jy voel sommer tuis.
Alles was daar wat mens benodig en met soveel netheid en styl. Ons het dit baie geniet. Sal beslis weer daar bly!
Ons het dit baie geniet om daar te bly. Almal was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.
Mooiste ligging en die perfekte winterwegbreeknaweek wat ons gesoek het! Die kaggel maak die atmosfeer lekker cosy! Beslis die plek om na weg te breek! Baie dankie vir als en die puik diens! Sal beslis weer kom!
Baie netjies en almal het dit baie geniet.
We found the accommodation to be a very high standard and would return in future.
Baie mooi en goed georganiseerd. Aandag aan detail en gerief is perfek. Sal graag weer daar wil tuisgaan.
Die ontvangsdame het ons baie vriendelik ontvang al was dit al na 20:00 in die aand. Sy het ons ‘n kaart met alle besienswaardighede in Swellendam gegee. Sy het ons ‘n paar restaurante aanbeveel, die spyskaarte gegee om te lees en te besluit waar ons wou eet. En toe ons klaar besluit het het sy vir ons ook nog n bespreking gemaak. Die kamers is skoon en baie netjies. Die badkamers was ook baie skoon en netjies. Die omgewing waar dit geleë is is baie mooi en die uitsigte moet beleef word. Jy voel sommer tuis as jy daar oornag. Ons sal definitief dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand en ons sal ook definitief weer daar ‘n bespreking maak as ons vanuit Nederland weer Kaap toe gaan.
Ons was net 1 nag daar maar dit was baie aangenaam, hoogs aan te bevele. Enigste nadeel is dat hulle nie ontbyt bedien nie.
Die persoon by ontvangs was baie onbevoeg en het nie geweet hoe om gaste te ontvang nie. Kamers was slordig en nie skoon nie. Jy kry die gevoel dat alles half klaar is, en dat die werk aan die plek nog gedoen moet word.
Aangename ontvangsdame, Lana het die tyd geneem om verskeie hoogtepunte van die dorp uit te wys en met ‘n kaart restaurante aanbeveel om te besoek.
Die ligging was perfek. Die kamer was groot en gemaklik. Hulle het regtig uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te verwelkom en op ons gemak te laat voel. Dit is ‘n plek wat ek graag aan ander wil aanbeveel. Geniet elke oomblik daarvan.
Ek sal definitief weer van hulle gebruik maak.
Baie vriendelike diens. Sal beslis weer daar bly! Kamers was netjies.
Absoluut fantasties! Heerlik rustig, snoesige beddegoed! Ons het lekker gekuier om die kaggel elke aand!
Ons het heerlik gebly, die kamers is ruim, netjies, goed toegerus en pragtig. Die tuin is pragtig en personeel goed opgelei en vriendelik. Ons sal enige iemand aanbeveel om Hilltop te besoek.
Ek moet wel sê dat Jane baie gaaf en vriendelik was.
We found it very comfortable.
Top notch service from start to finish. We were welcomed when we arrived there and everything was explained to us about breakfast, how the television worked etc. Very clean room and bathroom.
Vriendelike ontvangs. Rustige atmosfeer.
From the minute you arrive, you are made to feel welcome and at home. Jane is so friendly and professional, and always ready to help and recommend interesting things to see. The place is clean, peaceful and well maintained. What a wonderful and inspiring retreat for recharging the batteries.
Met aankoms is ons vriendelik gehelp, besienswaardighede is uitgewys en restaurante is aanbeveel. Die omgewing is mooi. Die kamers is goed toegerus en die badkamer het ‘n verrassende moderne voorkoms. Die bed slaap soos ‘n droom!
Had a nice relaxed time. Will recommend it to friends.
I will not stay anywhere else in Swellendam. A Hilltop is by far the nicest B&B I have stayed in. Every need is catered for. The surrounding mountains are awe-inspiring. Just the best!
