Come and enjoy quintessential KZN Midlands charm on this historic Hilton property. With views over Pietermaritzburg and onto the rolling Hilton farms, enjoy the quiet and peace of our large English Country garden. Each cottage on the property has it's own courtyard and braai area and separate entrance and there is plenty of parking. We have aimed to make you really feel like you are at a home away from home, with comfortable beds and linens and a well stocked kitchen. Come and explore the gateway to the Midlands and enjoy the best of both worlds - the convenience of being close to the city centre and Hilton central but feeling like you are out in the peaceful countryside.
Let me welcome you to Primula and Magnolia Cottage at Hillhouse, named for the lovely flowers that surround the cottages in our garden. I love with my husband and two boys in the main house, built in 1920 and am passionate about flowers, gardening, art, decor and design. Feel free to converse with us in English, French and Afrikaans.
Hilton is a lovely charming town, which is fast becoming a real hub of commerce and lifestyle. There are beautiful running and cycling trails, a historic railway station, gorgeous restaurants and excellent schools in our beautiful town.
