    Ideally located en route CT to Jhb. Beautiful gardens and trees so it’s a little oasis. So quiet even though only a short distance from N1. Absolutely delicious lamb and oxtail pies for dinner. Paulina is a star!

    Such a convenient stop off on the road to Joburg from CT. Close to the N1 but far enough to be quiet. We were considerably delayed due to a problem with our trailer and Kate, Marina and Paulina ensured that we had a tasty meal ready as well as...

Hillside is situated close to the N1 between Trompsburg and Springfontein in the Southern Free State. A perfect overnight stop for anyone traveling from Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and even KZN to the Eastern or Western Cape. Accommodation is available in three different sized lodgings: Len’s Cottage, Garden View and The Tree House. Located behind a koppie and set in a beautiful garden, so our guests can fully appreciate the beauty of the renowned Free State countryside, sunset and expansive sky.
We are situated about 17km from the closest shops (where the choices are limited!) and we do most of our shopping in Bloemfontein, 140km away. For guest convenience, we do offer a few evening meal options, but we do request that your meal orders be placed ahead of time as we only get to town about every 10 days. Alternatively, you are welcome to bring your own meals. We also live on a working farm. This means we have animals (mainly sheep and cattle), and depending on the season, there are also flies, mosquitoes, moths. Mobile telephone signal is erratic, and Eskom electricity supply is not guaranteed. We do have a backup generator that is able to keep the lights going, but is not big enough to power geysers and kettles.
