The location was perfect - peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to the shops.

A Hilton Gardens cottage at the foot of the Midlands Meander. Set apart from busy city life yet close to the village shops and restaurants. A self contained flatlet with a double bedroom with en suite shower and toilet, open kitchenette and lounge; all one requires for a comfortable stay. Close to parks, forests and artisanal cafes. A beautiful, safe setting for afternoon walks.
Born and raised in KZN, I know all there is to know about the surrounding areas and best spots to visit. With a young family we ourselves are out and about exploring most weekends and holidays. We love getting to know new people!
A quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to popular, local Garlingtons Restaurant, Coffeeberry, Pick n Pay.
