Hilltop Country Lodge
George, Garden Route
- Luxurious guest house surrounded by nature reserve
- Magnificent view across the bay and out to sea
- Private rooms and homely intimacy
Lest you forget where you are, Hilltop Country Lodge provides a constant reminder with a dizzying view over the Kaaimans River mouth, Victoria Bay and the sweeping bay of Wilderness – yes, there’s a place called Wilderness along the ever-so-civilised Garden Route.
A 15-minute drive from George – and its airport – Hilltop Country Lodge is a squeaky clean and mousy quiet guest house in 15 hectares of private nature reserve so high you expect to see the South Pole on a clear day.
Wings were added to the original house and filled with big beds, useful bathrooms and view-enhancing balconies. Hilltop has eight rooms in all ranging from a lowly mountain-facing room to large deluxe suites; all have private entrances and terraces.
The egg-shaped pool is tucked away down the hill with a splendid deck complete with loungers and large umbrellas for some serious relaxing – the sea-view occupies a large portion of the frame as you would expect.
Activities are limited to whiling away the lazy hours of a day with board games and a wee honesty bar in the main house and nature walks criss-crossing the reserve offering different vantage points of the same spectacular view.

The hill upon which Hilltop Country Lodge perches is about 15 minutes by car from George and 10 minutes to Victoria Bay and Wilderness beach. |

When you tear yourself from the view you’ll find beaches, forests and nature trails – and some large shopping malls with chain stores in nearby George. |
