About Us

We have 4 self-catering units separate from the main guesthouse, a 6-sleeper, two 4-sleepers and the loft unit which sleeps 5. All come with lounge/dining/kitchenette areas. 4 further rooms also have their own kitchenettes to cater for a self-catering preference. Our final room is semi self-catered with small fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery & cutlery.

The area is a treat for historians: the Victorian architecture of Pietermaritzburg, the French presence & the Anglo-Boer war history around Howick.

The Tatham Art Gallery in Pmb's city centre, is one of the oldest galleries in South Africa. Take a picnic and have a wander in the Umgeni nature reserve or book a picnic with "The Crows Nest" & enjoy the scenic Rietspruit conservancy.We have birding areas & conservancies, game parks & fishing(trout & bass) all on our doorstep. The Karkloof Canopy Tours are 10 minutes' away for the more adventurous & the area is a mountain bikers' paradise.
