The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel

The definition of Boutique Hotel. With beautiful landscape as backdrop and peacocks roaming the grounds, a small boutique hotel with lovely character, excellent food and wonderful staff. The garden studio was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend it. Hope to come back.

Has all the essentials you'd expect of an upmarket hotel (great food, level of comfort and luxury), but also those little extra touches that tell you're somewhere that sets itself apart, e.g. * Well thought out room, e.g. useful shelves everywhere, spacious walk-in shower, USB charging ports either side of the bed * Lovely decor, bold and striking yet welcoming and approachable * Peacocks roaming the grounds * Two tea bags by default in a pot of tea * Butter dish with the butter sculpted in the shape of a flower * Smart TV with sufficient bandwidth to run the DSTV stream app

This was a lovely boutique resort. The rooms were under renovation when we were there, and we had some trouble with the USB ports in our room, but the staff were most accommodating providing us with alternative charging option. The peacocks on the property were absolutely beautiful and lovely to see on a daily basis. We were there with a group of 38 seniors on a tour and the staff were most accommodating. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff were most accommodating when somebody wanted something special with their meal. The decor in this hotel was absolutely stunning. Every room was spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay there. Very comfortable beds and good size bathrooms.

Excellent. Stylish, comfortable, clean. Highly recommend it.

Absolute perfection! What an astonishingly beautiful place. From the moment the gracious Patrick met us at the door we knew that this was going to be a special stayover. Beautiful buildings, in equally gorgeous surroundings, that are maintained to the highest level. The attention to detail in the wonderful decor is at a ridiculously high level. We absolutely loved all the memorabilia and the way things have been repurposed. All those fabulous old encyclopedias in the reception area and on the tables, the old luggage wall (my favourite), the old biscuit tins ......... too many to mention. Every single staff member that we encountered was delightful, helpful, courteous and couldn't do enough for us. Special mention to Patrick (who is definitely the face of the place) and to Melinda who served our dinner. Our room was a small standard, but had very comfort that we needed for a one night stay over. Impeccably clean and we even got a chocolate when they turned down our bed for the night. Our dinner was fabulous. Both my husband and I had the Line Fish with veggies and declared it one of our best meals ever. Service was excellent. This is a gem of a place in a lovely area and very close to the George Golf Club. When we return to George we will, without a shadow of a doubt, stay here again. Highly recommended.

We loved this hotel in George, the decor was beautiful, our room was large and well equipped with a view of the mountains. The breakfasts and evening meals were delicious. The best thing, however, was the wonderful staff from Patrick on the door who helped us with our bags and golf clubs, the lovely reception staff, our waitresses, bar staff and housekeeping. Everyone had a smile and was warm and friendly. They organised a cake for my husbands birthday and then sang Happy Birthday at breakfast much to his embarrassment (& secret delight!) oh and not forgetting the amazing peacocks that roam the grounds! We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and are already planning our return visit!
