Hillston Farm Cottage

Hillston Farm Cottage is a highly recommended ironstone cottage built in the late 1800s. It has been used to house managers, governesses, and even served as a school for neighboring farms' children around 60 years ago.

The cottage features three bedrooms, a bathroom with a bath and a shower, and a separate toilet. All six beds are equipped with woolen duvets, electric blankets, and luxurious bath sheets. It has an open-plan kitchen, a dining room, and a family lounge with underfloor heating. The fully-equipped kitchen for self-catering includes a stove, microwave, kettle, toaster, iron, and a breakfast counter. Meals can also be provided by an on-site Cordon Bleu Chef, including breakfast, brunch, lunch, high tea, dinner, or a picnic basket.

Guests can relax on the front veranda and watch the sunset with the guinea fowl and hadeda signaling the end of the day, or have breakfast on the wooden combo set. A braai area is available in the Boer War Blockhouse lapa or outside in the garden, with the first bag of wood provided. The garden has a pathway leading to an irrigation dam with a jetty and a paddle boat, where children must be supervised. Ample parking and a laundry service are available upon request.

Hillston Farm Cottage offers a beautician and various on-site activities, including hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, spotting fossils and bushmen etchings, cooking classes, swimming, cycling, motor biking trails, tennis, bowls, and horse riding.
