Located in: South Africa - Sabie
Hillwatering Country House, Sabie is perfect stopover en route to the Kruger Park and a great place from which to explore Pilgrims Rest and the Panorama route (Waterfalls, Gods Window, Bourke’s Luck potholes, Blyde River canyon, etc)
Hillwatering Country House is 3 star Guest House located in a quiet and peaceful residential area just a couple of minutes from the restaurants and the centre of Sabie.
At Hillwatering we offer our guests 5 very spacious bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. Some rooms have queen beds and others twin beds (three-quarter size) From four of these bedrooms you can step outside through the French doors onto a verandah, where you can sit and enjoy the clean mountain air, spectacular views of the mountains and forest clad slopes and the 70 metre high Bridal Veil Falls.
All the verandahs look onto the garden where we encourage the local birds with our huge variety of plants and flowers
In the summer we serve our English and Continental breakfasts on the verandahs, (weather permitting) if the morning is chilly we move inside by the log fire. We also do a packed picnic breakfast if you require an early start for a trip to the park or to your next destination.
We have secure parking and smoke free rooms. Smoking is permitted outside on the verandah.
Our rooms have tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryers are available on request.
We are less than 4 hours from Johannesburg international airport and are a popular stop over for the overseas traveler just beginning or ending their holidays in South Africa.
