Had breakfast here and what a good experience! The food is great, playlist is brilliant and the people are really friendly. Plus, the art is fun to look at and chat about. Definitely a must if you're in Elgin.
We visited south hill for the weekend and stayed in the pump house cottage. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a smile. All the staff were extremely professional and friendly and even accommodated our golden retriever joining us. We had a great time, and will definitely be back again. Peaceful accommodation. Great food. Highly recommend
What a beautiful venue. The owners are wonderful people and the staff are friendly. Everything combined made for a weekend I will not forget. I was a wedding guest and what an experience. The peace and quiet was exactly what I needed and I left with a heavy heart. I can highly recommend this for a break away and wedding venue. I want to say more but words escape me. Just wonderful! Thank you.
What a place! For hospitality that goes beyond 5*. I have hosted 2 artists retreats at South Hill. We booked the guest house as well as the pumphouse and boat house. What sets this venue apart from many is the incredibly generous, kind and friendly staff and owners. They go the extra mile to make every visitors stay an absolute treat. They don't just hand over a key. With award winning wines, views, fabulous food and people.... one can't help but feel a special connection to this beautiful place.
We just recently stayed in the new boathouse down on the lake, it was GREAT!The water was so warm! The sunset is the most amazing thing ever, especially up top on the roof of the boathouse! The water is super deep so you can jump from the roof into the water! There are 3 canoes to paddle around in too! There are lily pads, they just make the view even more perfect! We went for breakfast at the restaurant in the morning, the food was delicious! Next to the restaurant is the first vine maze in the South Africa Near the restaurant is also the beautiful guest house with a big long pool! The guest house is just astonishing! Inside the restaurant is an art gallery too! South Hill is also an amazing wedding venue! The wine is great, made by winemaker Sean. You can have a delicious wine tasting or just have some lunch. Personally I just loved it!

The estate is not only a fully working vineyard but also a beautiful wedding venue, restaurant and art gallery.
Today while we sampled the latest vintages we enjoy a tapas style lunch on the beautiful lawns overlooking a maze which is made of rows of vines with a picnic area in the centre!
South Hill makes lovely wines. A must visit if in the area - sample great wines, food, beautiful views and a very warm welcome from everyone on the farm.
South Hill is owned by an absolutely amazing couple Kevin and Sandy King.
We had an excellent wine tasting and lunch for 40 people at the estate. Nothing was too much trouble.
Both Shaun the wine maker and Kevin were present at the tasting and they discussed each wine in a lot of detail making it an extremely interesting event.
Sandy and her team provided us with an amazing variety of dips and spreads on the shared bread platters, followed by a choice of delicious deconstructed pies.
She really went out of her way to make everyone feel welcome and ensure it was a successful lunch.
Thank you all at South Hill for a really special lunch.
This is well worth a visit when in the Elgin area.
1. Location and Atmosphere/Décor: Great atmosphere and beautiful gardens. This is a little oasis in the middle of the beautiful Elgin Valley. The place is so serene and tranquil. Beautiful garden with character. The inside is interesting with a great feel and is nice looking.
2. Reception: We arrived with no booking so one would think the reception staff would be knowledgeable and try to sell the place, but at the entrance not even an acknowledgement that we were there.
3. Menu: The restaurant offers an excellent menu with a variety for all tastes.
4. Food: Very good food at reasonable prices.
5. Service: The service was a bit disappointing, especially the waiters seem a bit disorganized and clueless and a little bit slow and forgot twice to bring us the hot milk for our coffee.
This spacious, tastefully decorated, well equipped comfortable guest house is an ideal weekend breakaway. It supplies everything needed for self catering, and the bonus of an excellent restaurant next door. Surrounded by beautiful
This is a beautifully located wedding and function venue. They have a beautiful restaurant and a well set-up conference venue. They also offer accommodation which is lovely. The owner Sandra and her husband run and they are both very helpful and gracious hosts. They are also very willing to offer suggestions and accept both input and suggestions from clients. Sandra has arranged two functions for me and I was very happy with both.
