This was my first time staying at Hillcrest and it was so lovely! The owner and her staff were extremely welcoming, the room was comfortable, breakfast was fantastic. The location is convenience to restaurants, a mall, and the beach. I will definitely be back!

Perfect Overnight Stop
We had a great stay. It was an overnight stop on the way to Plettenberg Bay but I would definitely stay here again. The room was beautifully decorated and modern. Bathroom was great, fabulous shower. Breakfast the next morning was delicious too. A very comfortable stay.
