Gateside Guesthouse
We have 4 self-catering units separate from the main guesthouse, a 6-sleeper, two 4-sleepers and the loft unit which sleeps 5. All come with lounge/dining/kitchenette areas. 4 further rooms also have their own kitchenettes to cater for a self-catering preference. Our final room is semi self-catered with small fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery & cutlery.
Area Info
Hilton & the surrounding countryside has always attracted residents who embrace an active & healthy lifestyle, enjoying the mountainbiking & running trails, walking, canoeing & fishing.
The village is charming & we have restaurants & village shops within 1km of us & the N3 highway is easily accessed. Hilton & St Anne's Colleges, Grace & Etham Colleges, Cowan House & Laddsworth schools are all on our doorstep as is the Hilton Life Hospital with its state of the art oncology dept.
The gorgeous countryside of the Midlands Meander encourages a variety of arts & crafts, wholesome cuisine & fresh produce markets. The Drakensberg mountains & the KZN beaches are both an hour and a half's drive from us.
Convenient for business in Pietermaritzburg but offering a peaceful getaway at the end of the day! A great halfway break if touring in the province.
