Best Getaways 
The Aloes Farm - The Studio & The Gallery
The Aloes Farm has two well appointed, upmarket cottages: The Studio and The Gallery. The Studio can sleep up to six guests and The Gallery can sleep up to five or six guests (an additional single mattress can be placed on the floor if necessary). Both cottages have three bedrooms and two bathrooms that have been tastefully decorated, where simple mid-century lines complement the original art on the walls. The cottages each have an open plan kitchen, dining room and lounge area that spill onto large patios. The kitchens and dining rooms are amply equipped for cooking and dining, and the lounges have comfortable couches and chairs surrounding fireplaces supplied with abundant wood to ensure that you can cuddle cosily if it is a chilly Hilton night.
Area Info
The Aloes Farm is an active 10 ha small-holding, bordering the Hilton College estate. This stunning property provides a unique combination of rural living just five km from the N3 highway. Sitting astride the main dolerite ridge that extends from Hilton, the farm has spectacular panoramic views to the east that overlook Albert Falls Dam and Wartburg, and to the west towards the Nhlozane Peak and the Drakensberg where The Giant can be seen silhouetted against the sunset on clear evenings. All these natural features contribute to an amazing sense of space and peace, and guests are welcome to walk through farmlands and natural veld, to savour the quiet and peace of the area, enjoying the evening call of jackal, the burble of fiery-necked nightjars or the sharp whistles of reedbuck.
The Hilton area is very well endowed with good schools, many of which offer boarding facilities, and The Aloes Farm is conveniently located immediately adjacent to the Hilton College estate and within 10 km of St Anne’s, Laddsworth and Cowan House schools. It is thus an ideal stay for parents who are attending school sports events or other functions, or just visiting their children.
The D494 district has a remarkedly low incidence of crime and local residents will attest to the general sense of safety and security that we enjoy, which means that guests can relax with a peace of mind.
