About Gateside Guesthouse

Situated in peaceful Hilton village, Gateside Guesthouse is 10 km's from Pietermaritzburg's CBD and 10 minutes' drive from Howick. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac with magnificent views of pastures, dam and our local Table Mountain. We are at the entrance to the Midlands Meander, close to the private schools of Hilton College, Ethams and St Anne's as well as Hilton Life Hospital. The guesthouse makes an ideal stopover for holidaymakers en route to the splendid Drakensberg Mountains or Durban's beautiful beaches, as we are midway between these two major tourist attractions.

Verified reviewexcellent

Gateside Guesthouse is in a beautiful setting in Hilton with a spectacular view. The staff are warm, welcoming and very helpful, providing an excellent service. Should I be required to travel to Pietermaritzburg again, I would not hesitate to check in at Gatehouse Guesthouse again.

Verified reviewexcellent

It was a very beautiful stay. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We arrived late around 23:00 when check in was closed, but the owner directed us on what to do and where to via WhatsApp which was very helpful. The place is beautiful with a view of the Hilton mountains and pine trees. Will definitely recommend to friends and family... As well as visit again. Thank you.
