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

Rooms are clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Not affected by loadshedding. The venue is spectacular if you are looking for an escape from the busyness of the city.

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.

I had the most amazing time

I had the most amazing time.  It is really close and easy to get to. The gravel road isn't bad and the pools are clean and quiet, the gardens are beautiful and well kept, the views are serene and the place we stayed at was perfectly cleaned and had every possible thing we needed.  Hills and Dales will definitely see me again.

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!

Peaceful getaway

13 October 2022 - Not luxurious but all you need. Great view from Badchick room and very private and peaceful. Bring own snacks and drinks and self-catering is nice. Braai facilities great garden and ambience. Very quiet and room is spacious and you'll find all you need. Tidy and clean.

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!

The place was amazing

The place was amazing.  Staff and owners were very friendly and the food was very nice.  If you want to break away to total peace and quiet then this is the place to go.  We were looking to get away from the hustle and bustle from the city and this is what we found here.

Shane Bowes

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.

Gerde de Jager

The place is stunning.  Clean and safe!  Also the view is amazing.  Diane and her husband are really nice and kind people.  Was a pleasure to be there!

Julia (AirBnB)

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!!
