Hillside Guesthouse

Hillside Guesthouse is a luxury guesthouse conveniently situated in the heart of the upmarket suburb of Umhlanga Rocks, minutes walking distance away from the beach (300 meters) and the vibrant Umhlanga Village (700 meters) but far enough away to have the benefit of peace and quiet after a long day at the beach or in the office.
