"After our holiday in Ballito, we quickly wanted to stop for a proper 'pub lunch' with their famous Guinness meet pie and gravy paired with a Guinness draft on our way back to Gauteng - But then we felt só at home with the friendly service and excellent staff that we decided to stay the night."

Highlights
Location: 10-minute drive from Midmar Dam .
Rooms: 24 contemporary rooms and Garden Suites .
Dining: Notties Restaurant and Pub offering a-la-carte menu .
Entertainment: lively pub atmosphere with local music .
“The hotel's lively pub is a definite draw, offering a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and late-night entertainment; however, light sleepers should request rooms away from the bar area. Its pet-friendly policy and convenient access to family activities and local attractions are also notable advantages; plus, breakfast gets high marks. I'd recommend it for those seeking a vibrant and convenient stay.”
