The Company, Hills and Dales Accommodation, was established in 2008 by Tim and Diane Savory, who manage it along with their six dedicated staff who have been with the Company since inception, for some 16 years. Tim is in charge of the ongoing repairs and maintenance along with any new projects to improve the property, Douglas Muhlope does the bookings, and staff supervision, and Diane does the marketing, manages the websites and accounting and organizes the catering. Tim and Diane left Zimbabwe when their farm property was confiscated by the Zimbabwean Government in 2000. Tim and Diane left Zimbabwe after 56 years, with their three Jack Russells, Chilly, China and Twister, and a truck of possessions, to arrive on this property that was owned by Diane's father, Fred Maud. When Diane's Father passed away in 2007, they decided to start converting the extremely rundown, 23 ha property, into a 3-Star grading, self-catering Establishment, with the South African Tourism Board. We have added two very popular Event Venues, called Jabulani and Hlala Lapha, as well as the Fish Eagle Lodge, the four double Guinea Fowl Rooms and we have renovated all the rooms in the older existing buildings and put in three swimming pools. The garden has been transformed into a 'Garden of Eden' with guests often commenting on how breathtaking it is. This has taken 16 years of back breaking work with continued upgrades. Projects on the go are a Conference Room, a big fishpond to add to the lovely rolling lawns, another braai area next to the Guinea Fowl Rooms and more concrete road strips up to the top gate. We often host a variety of day events such as School Reunions and Business functions and we continue to strive towards further improvements for the benefit of our guests. Our target market is for those guests looking for a homely, relaxed countryside venue in a rustic three-star environment. Guests should not expect a new upmarket hotel type Venue.

Hills and Dales Accommodation is situated on 23 hectares of rolling countryside in the tourism supply zone for the World Heritage Site, The Cradle of Humankind. It is a 3-star, rustic and relaxed, country and home style venue, catering for the normal person who wants to get away from the crowded city environment and noise. The property has two swimming pools and a splash pool with fountain. There is a Lapa surrounded by magical rolling lawns, beautiful trees, magical gardens, peaceful views of the river and hills and ghostly misty mornings. Birdlife abounds. The property is self-catering by default, but meals are catered for if booked well in advance. We cater from peaceful getaways, business stopovers, to parties, team building events, reunions and paintball in the natural terrain. The property is located in an area that teams with all sorts of public activities from ballooning and fishing to elephant feeding, wildlife parks, historical caves and cycling.

The atmosphere is a quiet, rural, riverside environment within easy reach of the city and business districts as well as shopping centers. Lanseria Airport is 4 kilometers up the road. Plots in the Hills and Dales area are 23 ha and situated within the Tourism zone of the Cradle of Humankind where there are lots of interesting activities to undertake such as visiting the Lion Park, the Batonga Rhino and Lion Park, famous caves such as the Sterkfontein Caves, and Wonder Caves, Maropeng Museum and for those who are more adventurous there is organized ballooning and restaurants, not to mention paintball and go-carting amongst many other activities. Hartebeesport Dam is 30 minutes away and you can go up in the cable car, walk to the very top of the mountain and enjoy the view and gentle breeze with a pizza and a bottle of champagne. Hills and Dales Accommodation is situated opposite two elite housing developments called Blair Atholl Golf Estate and Monaghan Farm, where the houses are off the grid and gardens totally indigenous. A game of golf can be arranged by the guest directly with Blair Atholl, should they be interested, alternatively, it is very easy to book a meal at one of their restaurants.
