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.

Wow, this is probably one of the most underrated hotels in which I have ever stayed in. Facilities and staff are absolutely amazing. It is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. This will be the second time I have stayed here and will come back everytime I return to George. Oooh and have I mentioned how stunning the food is🤤

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.

What a beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. It felt as if we had stepped back in time in a great way. From the moment we arrived we were treated so well. Patrick dealing with our bags and serving some lovely cold bubbly. Cindy Ann swiftly checking us in. The room was tastefully decorated and really comfy. Beautiful view of the mountains and lots of peacocks to be seen. We stayed here for 6 days using it as a base to explore. So central. This hotel cannot be recommended highly enough. The staff provide a masterclass in service - exemplary in every way.

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