Amazing Hospitality
Morag was so kind and helpful, she seemed more like a long time family friend than a bed and breakfast host. We were quite stressed and worn out after a hectic drive, and she offered to drive us to pick up the Indian food we had been lusting after! She really went above and beyond what could be expected.

The Place To Stay in Pietermaritzburg
An exceptional well run B&B with all the comforts from home. The two rooms are separate from the main house and give a sense of privacy whilst within a comforting distance from the guest lounge and dining areas. The owner is most welcoming and very attentive to her guests. Great cooked to order breakfast. Highly recommended.

Peaceful and welcoming
Morag was incredibly kind and helpful. Served us a magnificent breakfast each morning, and was attentive but did not intrude into our space. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and accommodation artfully decorated. The weather was unusually cold, and the room took a while to warm up, but was ultimately fine.

Les collines des méandres
Étant situé dans la montagne à l'extérieur de la ville, en prenant la Hilton Road, ça nous a permis de découvrir les méandres avec tous ses villages, boutiques, cafés brasseries. Aussi , le site de Mandela, à ne pas manquer, ça vaut le déplacement. Prenez au moins 3 jours pour tout decouvrir.

uitstekende B&B, van alle gemakken voorzien
De kamer is van alle gemakken voorzien. Een groot, schoon en comfortabel bed. De kamer is leuk (als een cottage) ingericht met oog voor detail. Zo jammer dat wij hier maar een nacht waren. De volgende keer als wij de familie bezoeken, boeken wij deze B&B zeker weer, maar dan ook voor langere tijd. De ontbijtruimte is ook al zo leuk en kunstzinnig ingericht. Het ontbijt; deze is zóóóó ruim qua keus, (met vers fruit) en wordt zóóóó leuk en wederom met oog voor detail opgediend. Je kunt merken dat ze dit ook erg leuk vinden om te doen. Het personeel is erg aardig en betrokken en zorgen dat het je aan niets ontbreekt.

A great place to stay! The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, just outside the busier centre of Pietermaritzburg. Lovely people, great service. Definitely one of the highlights of our threee-week holiday in South Africa. Highly recommended!
