Getaway ( Self Catering - cottages/chalets/houses
Accommodation in Wilderness / Garden Route / South Africa )
High on a hilltop on the historic 7 Passes Road
between George and Wilderness lies Strawberry Hill. Close to everything
and yet in the middle of nowhere, it is the perfect place from
which to explore the Garden Route. Wilderness is 6.5km and George
7.5km by tarred road. There are spectacular views across to the
mountains and the sea. Bounded by the Kaaimans and Silver Rivers,
Strawberry Hill is 75 hectares in extent, including 65 hectares
of Afro-montane forest. The private Fern Trail meanders past pools
and waterfalls and is a must for the keen hiker. It takes 2 hours.
Accommodation consists of 2 luxurious cottages, each fully equipped
for self-catering, including firewood, charcoal and firelighter.
The cottages are fully serviced daily. Breakfast baskets can be
arranged for a further charge on request. Mr Delivery Man will
deliver from a choice of restaurants. We can arrange a baby sitter
if required. Cots and high-chairs are available. All beds have
electric blankets. Heaters and fans are present in each room.
The pool in the main garden is open to guests at the cottages.
