Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Howick

My friends and I stayed at Preswick-in-Gowrie for our 10 year reunion and it exceeded expectations. The house itself is beautifully decorated , impeccably maintained and Jess is the most gracious host. She is easy to reach and provides all information that you might need for your stay . I can’t recommend Jess’ home enough .

Mike was a gracious and communicative host. The home is set in beautiful peaceful surroundings with breathtaking views. We’ll be back

This was our third time staying at this incredibly charming farmhouse, and once again, it did not disappoint. The property is as beautiful and welcoming as ever, with lush gardens, cozy fireplaces, and more than enough space for everyone to relax and feel comfortable. The location is ideal—peaceful and tucked away, yet so close to all our favorite Midlands gems like Fables, Blueberry Café, Terbodore Coffee Roasters, and The Salt Slab. Whether we were out exploring or simply enjoying the serenity of the farmhouse, it was the perfect long weekend escape. Victoria is a wonderful host—always kind and communicative—and the housekeeper is equally fantastic. Everything is spotless and well cared for, and there’s a real sense of warmth and hospitality throughout the home. This place truly feels like a home away from home. We already can’t wait for our next stay!

The house was so beautiful and comfortable. The pictures at the time did not capture how nice it actually was. A beautiful style between old and modern. The garden is huge and very well kept! Was an absolute pleasure staying there. Susan was very helpful!

We had an unforgettable stay at the Thatch House in Hilton! This home is nothing short of magnificent—modern, stylish, and perfectly tucked away to create a peaceful escape. It's the ideal hideaway to enjoy with both family and friends. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities made everything feel luxurious yet cozy. From relaxing mornings on the veranda to evenings by the fireplace, every moment felt special. The surrounding nature adds to the charm, making it a true retreat from the hustle of everyday life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful space to reconnect and unwind. We can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Forest House on 20 Arlington Drive, Hilton. The property is nestled in a serene, lush forest setting — peaceful, private, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was clean, beautifully furnished, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Darrell the caretaker, was warm, responsive, and made check-in seamless. Thoughtful touches like fresh towels and quality linens made us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the outdoor deck overlooking the trees — ideal for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. We would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for tranquility and charm in Hilton. Can’t wait to return!

The place was absolutely stunning. Exactly as the pictures. Cleaning service and support staff were great. The road the get there is extremely bumpy.

What an amazing host, beautiful property and just what the doctor ordered for quality rest and family time... I am happy to say, we have found our home away from home at Valley View...

We had a fantastic experience at Layla’s place! The apartment was exactly as described an, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and yet quiet enough for a peaceful retreat. Layla was incredibly welcoming and responsive. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay again in the future.

Excellent location for anyone attending a function at the nearby Torwoodlea lodge. Linda was a great host. Her place is remarkably clean,neat and peaceful. We loved the plants & vegetation, not forgetting the friendly dogs to welcome us. Kitchen is well equipped. Great place if you want peace away from busy city life. Thanks to Linda for accomodating us. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic stay…..great value……well worth it and more

Wow! What a beautiful Gem If you need some peace and quiet, This is the place for you , It’s a bit of a drive out of town into the forest. So make sure you have everything you need when you leave town, but the lovely host has items on hand , if you need (a lovely touch). I absolutely loved everything about this space , The pictures don’t do it justice! It is beautiful and definitely worth the trip I can’t wait to book it again, I definitely will be back

What a lovely place. So beautifully decorated. Stunning setting and views. The cupcakes on arrival were a treat.

We had a great stay at Elsabe's cottage. A very peaceful location with great walks close by. Everything was as described and we look forward to returning sometime.

Third time staying here and we will be back again I'm sure of it. Perfect for my family! I highly recommend if you stopping over in Hilton.

We had a wonderful time. It is the perfect little spot for 2 people. Gorgeous garden. Private, quiet and has a lovely little wood fireplace which we loved. Janice and Don are wonderful hosts.
