Our Story ...

My wife, and I, moved from our small hometown to Wakabadai in Tokyo, Japan, where I played professional rugby for the Suntory Sungoliath team. Adapting to life in a bustling metropolis, surrounded by towering buildings, was a significant change for us. Amidst the chaos of city life, we discovered a sanctuary: a quaint coffee shop called On The Hill Coffee.

Just a ten-minute walk from our 13th-floor apartment, this charming café was owned by an elderly Japanese gentleman who had transformed part of his home into a serene coffee shop. It became our escape, a place where we could relax, listen to birds chirping in the overlooking garden, and enjoy a perfect cappuccino. This peaceful retreat offered us a much-needed break from our busy lives.

The Vision for On the Hill

When we first stood on a mountain in the Hemel en Aarde Valley, we were reminded of the tranquility we found at On The Hill Coffee. We decided to create a similar sanctuary—a place where visitors could experience the same sense of escape, serenity, and bliss. Thus, On the Hill was born.

Our cabin, On the Hill, is nestled in the heart of the Hemel en Aarde Valley. It offers breathtaking views, surrounded by majestic mountains and unspoiled nature. We have meticulously designed this romantic getaway to embody peace and tranquility. The cabin features an outdoor hot tub, allowing you to become one with nature while soaking in the serene surroundings.
