We had a truly fantastic stay at Hilltop Country Retreat. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location is absolutely beautiful, with peaceful surroundings and stunning views that make it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. You can really see the care and attention put into every detail. The amenities were excellent and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The service was also outstanding — warm, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our visit. It felt like a real home away from home. We would highly recommend Hilltop Country Retreat to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. We will definitely be back!

We found accommodation this whilst researching our garden route holiday. It is an absolute hidden gem with spacious and tastefully decorated rooms and even a swimming pool and children’s pool. Small self catering facilities and BQ provided and breakfast can be arranged which is exceptional value. There is a choice of airbandb’s in Swellendam but this is most definitely top of my list. Look it up people it’s worth it

Our only downside with this hotel - we only stayed one night ! Fantastic spot to stop off on the Garden Route. We truly loved the hotel, rustic, homely, great room amenities, lovely staff. Peaceful, great small pool with sun loungers. Swellendam is a lovely town, some good restaurants and a shout our for Grace and Mercy, brilliant lunch stop. Highly recommend

Spent one night in a luxury double which was very clean and well equipped. Multiple lovely areas to sit outside with fire pit and braii. Great location on a hill above Swellendam and with two very nice pool areas- would recommend

I cannot say enough about this beautiful place! We loved everything about it! The service and staff were amazing. The bedrooms are super clean and tidy. The house we stayed in was cozy and well stocked. Bathrooms are clean and I love that you get fresh towels and your bed is made every day. We will be back!

Positives: there are 2 pools and they sparkling clean. The braai gets cleaned daily and a new stack of wood packed. Close to town. Friendly host and staff. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels given. Negatives: the bed is very hard; a topper would've been nice. No space to unpack your clothes, not enough hangers to hang our stuff for 3 days. The braai needs a chimney, the room we stayed in had an open braai and when the wind was very strong, it was just smoke everywhere, making it unpleasant to be outside (other rooms had chimneys). The carpets in the room didn't feel clean, would suggest removing them or put ones that can be washed in. The bath tub needs a new plug, the water rinse out very soon after you add water. There is no aircon, it wasnt hot when we were there, but not sure if that would affect others during summer months.
