Excellent accommodation and a very relaxed atmosphere! I had come over to Hillcrest from the UK to visit my very ill mother and brother. A very difficult trip indeed, however James, Wendy and the team were there to offer support and a wonderful base for me to unwind after several very difficult visits to the family!

Thank you so much for everything!
Excellent breakfast
Excellent accommodation,
Excellent service
And Excellent customer service!

Miss Kerry Burn

Spent 1 night. The room was comfortable, well proportioned. Gas geysers mean that the hot water is a little difficult to manage but we were told about this as we checked in and it did not prove to be a problem. Breakfast was delicious. Only one complaint is that the plates were cold.

Comfortable

If you are looking for a place to sleep safely and comfortably, as well as have friendly staff and a decent breakfast, then this guesthouse will suit you well.  If you are looking for five star luxury accommodation, then you will not be satisfied. You get what you pay for. I would stay here again.

All basic needs are covered here.... slept well and ate well

Our Flyball team from Johannesburg/Pretoria visited KZN for some shows at Shongweni.
We were warmly welcomed by our host James, who went out of his way for some VERY late arrivals (caught by a road closure on Van Reenens pass). The rooms were pleasant with nice homely touches. The spacious verandah with its occasional seating was a great gathering place for the team, and an early cold spell really made us appreciate the electric blankets in our rooms! The location is close to some very nice restaurants, and James had fantastic insider knowledge on where to go! 
This wasn't my first trip to the Brackens, and it definitely won't be my last!

Team trip to Hillcrest

I was on a last minute trip to KZN and owner James accommodated me. Room was welcoming and comfortable. Breakfasts were sufficient. I will be staying at Brackens again when I am in the Hillcrest area in the future. 

Great hospitality 

The room was dirty - dirt on the walls and floor.  The towels had holes in them and were not changed for the 3 nights that I stayed there.
The breakfast tasted like it had been on offer all week - the fruit salad was old on the first morning but then was served again the next morning (same fruit salad).
The shower was blocked.
The hairdryer was sticky.
I was very unimpressed by the whole experience.

Never again!

We needed a place to stay for 3 nights close to Kearsney College, and found "The Brackens", where we had a lovely, homely stay.
James, is a very kind and accommodating host, that will go the extra mile for his guests. The staff is friendly. The rooms, bedding  and towels were clean, and the bathroom facilities a pleasure to use.
The breakfast was excellent and very well priced.
