The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel

We are eternally grateful to the Hawthorn Hotel and the delightful staff. We got married in an elopement ceremony at the hotel. Vandri was a blessing to us in coordinating everything weeks before, providing us with decor and photographer recommendations and ensuring the day ran smoothly from playing our music to liaising with decor and even ensuring we had a warm fire in the ceremony room. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful hotel for photos. We were also kindly given the tasting room as a complimentary gesture for our guest dinner. From Patrick the doorman to each waitron that served us on the day, we were always treated like royalty and with kindness. The hotel is stunning and the room was beautifully decorated for us. Thank hospitality and kindness. The Hawthorn Hotel will always be special to us.

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.

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!

Quiet and peaceful, excellent staff. Set in lovely grounds. The only downside was that it is very difficult to find.

Today was my 5 th visit - this time with an elderly friend who accompanied me to have morning coffee and cake. Once again the experience and inter reaction with all the staff from the welcome at reception to the waitress serving coffee was absolutely outstanding, all the staff were warm friendly and extremely caring toward a very elderly woman. It was much appreciated. I cannot recommend this beautiful hotel highly enough
