SharleneSouth AfricaThe view was stunning and staff very friendly
The bed was to soft and it wasn't made up to 5 star standed. Towels had holes in them and the coffee station is very uncomfortable to work in.
RazeenaSouth AfricaThe views, the location, the comfort. This established is stunning.
The bathrooms are in desperate need of an upgrade, for a luxury hotel the bathrooms are not the smartest, very basic and a good deep clean for the…

What we’d check for you here

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Head over Hills
What time is check-in and check-out at Head over Hills?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Head over Hills allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Head over Hills?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Head over Hills have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Head over Hills?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Head over Hills have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Head over Hills?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Head over Hills have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Head over Hills?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
