Hilton Manor Guesthouse is situated in the rapidly developing town of Ermelo in Mpumalanga. Set in the quiet and idyllic suburb of John Vorster Park, the guesthouse is conveniently close to most amenities like shopping centers, restaurants, banks, hospitals, etc. and only a stones throw away from Ermelo High School.
The owner, Rina Fourie, recently acquired the property and developed it into this beautiful guesthouse. Rina has gone to great lengths to achieve the level of style and comfort that Hilton Manor offers its guests. Each room is uniquely decorated with extreme attention to detail. From the electric blankets and luxurious percale linen that ensures guests sleep like Kings and Queens, to the chocolates placed on freshly laundered towels, no detail is to large or small to go un-noticed. The lounge and dining room are richly decorated and offer a warm and cozy atmosphere in which to enjoy conversation and meals. Guests can also enjoy the beautiful and tranquil garden boasting an enchanting dome, relaxing water feature, swing and lapa which set the scene for total relaxation.
The vision that Rina has for Hilton Manor is to provide its guests with a memorable experience that keeps them coming back for more.
