Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Pietermaritzburg

We had a wonderful weekend all round. Didn't know there was a DSTV decoder otherwise would've taken our card with Watching TV was a challenge Fireplace was awesome

My friends and I stayed at Preswick-in-Gowrie for our 10 year reunion and it exceeded expectations. The house itself is beautifully decorated , impeccably maintained and Jess is the most gracious host. She is easy to reach and provides all information that you might need for your stay . I can’t recommend Jess’ home enough .

This was our third time staying at this incredibly charming farmhouse, and once again, it did not disappoint. The property is as beautiful and welcoming as ever, with lush gardens, cozy fireplaces, and more than enough space for everyone to relax and feel comfortable. The location is ideal—peaceful and tucked away, yet so close to all our favorite Midlands gems like Fables, Blueberry Café, Terbodore Coffee Roasters, and The Salt Slab. Whether we were out exploring or simply enjoying the serenity of the farmhouse, it was the perfect long weekend escape. Victoria is a wonderful host—always kind and communicative—and the housekeeper is equally fantastic. Everything is spotless and well cared for, and there’s a real sense of warmth and hospitality throughout the home. This place truly feels like a home away from home. We already can’t wait for our next stay!

The house was so beautiful and comfortable. The pictures at the time did not capture how nice it actually was. A beautiful style between old and modern. The garden is huge and very well kept! Was an absolute pleasure staying there. Susan was very helpful!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Forest House on 20 Arlington Drive, Hilton. The property is nestled in a serene, lush forest setting — peaceful, private, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was clean, beautifully furnished, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Darrell the caretaker, was warm, responsive, and made check-in seamless. Thoughtful touches like fresh towels and quality linens made us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the outdoor deck overlooking the trees — ideal for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. We would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for tranquility and charm in Hilton. Can’t wait to return!

Enjoyed staying at Tracy's place. She was very flexible with check-in, and she communicated well! Highly recommend staying here!

The place was absolutely stunning. Exactly as the pictures. Cleaning service and support staff were great. The road the get there is extremely bumpy.

Great spot in the midlands. Lots of space and accommodation. Surrounds are beautiful. Cheryl was a great host and always responsive.

We had a beautiful couple of days in the mountain view cottage. Very slick experience with arrival, communication, check-in, extras, etc. And a lovely place within easy reach of things to see and do but while still feeling remote. We enjoyed using the pizza oven which is a great feature.

We had a fantastic experience at Layla’s place! The apartment was exactly as described an, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and yet quiet enough for a peaceful retreat. Layla was incredibly welcoming and responsive. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay again in the future.

Excellent location for anyone attending a function at the nearby Torwoodlea lodge. Linda was a great host. Her place is remarkably clean,neat and peaceful. We loved the plants & vegetation, not forgetting the friendly dogs to welcome us. Kitchen is well equipped. Great place if you want peace away from busy city life. Thanks to Linda for accomodating us. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic stay…..great value……well worth it and more

What a lovely place. So beautifully decorated. Stunning setting and views. The cupcakes on arrival were a treat.

Loved this place! Beautiful house, beautiful location, and wonderful staff. Would stay here again.

Third time staying here and we will be back again I'm sure of it. Perfect for my family! I highly recommend if you stopping over in Hilton.

We had a wonderful time. It is the perfect little spot for 2 people. Gorgeous garden. Private, quiet and has a lovely little wood fireplace which we loved. Janice and Don are wonderful hosts.

The place was absolutely clean,a real peaceful place with beautiful scenery,the host was helpful and very kind.

Prachtig huis en prachtige plek! De kamer was heel groot en hoog, waardoor de akoestiek niet zo goed was.

What a wonderful place. The photos do not do it justice. We were a group of ladies who had a lovely time there. Only unfortunate thing was the stage 6 loadshedding which left us with more hours without electricity vs with electricity. Only the lights in the house run off an inverter but sadly no plugs. A gas kettle and stove top were available. Regardless of the loadshedding, we still enjoyed ourselves
