Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Howick

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 .

Mike was a gracious and communicative host. The home is set in beautiful peaceful surroundings with breathtaking views. We’ll be back

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 an unforgettable stay at the Thatch House in Hilton! This home is nothing short of magnificent—modern, stylish, and perfectly tucked away to create a peaceful escape. It's the ideal hideaway to enjoy with both family and friends. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities made everything feel luxurious yet cozy. From relaxing mornings on the veranda to evenings by the fireplace, every moment felt special. The surrounding nature adds to the charm, making it a true retreat from the hustle of everyday life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful space to reconnect and unwind. We can’t wait to return!

Felt like we were in the treetops in the jungle! Absolutely stunning setting. We were thrilled to see Knysna Turacos multiple times. It was a very spacious area and it was no problem having multiple other tenants who lived on the property. The kitchen was extremely well outfitted with all you could want. Although it was chilly- we never needed the gas heaters as the space was upstairs and so naturally warmer. Justin was great to chat with and flexible with us hosting friends for a meal. Darrell was very friendly as a host and showed us around. Many thanks!

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.

The Mountain View Villa was beautiful and such a peaceful place to be. Definitely got the relaxation needed! The house is as mentioned and so cute! Thank you for a wonderful stay and being such great hosts!!🌸

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

Wow! What a beautiful Gem If you need some peace and quiet, This is the place for you , It’s a bit of a drive out of town into the forest. So make sure you have everything you need when you leave town, but the lovely host has items on hand , if you need (a lovely touch). I absolutely loved everything about this space , The pictures don’t do it justice! It is beautiful and definitely worth the trip I can’t wait to book it again, I definitely will be back

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

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.
