Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pietermaritzburg near the Drakensberg?
It's one of the best bases for the Southern Berg. Underberg is 2 hours away, Sani Pass about 2.5 hours, and Champagne Valley is 1.5 hours up the N3. You can be in the mountains by mid-morning if you leave early.
What is the KZN Midlands Meander?
It's an arts-and-crafts route through the KZN Midlands between PMB and Mooi River. Think dairy farms, misty hills, craft beer spots, and cheese tastings. There are a few caravan parks along the way, ideal for a slow weekend meander.
How far is Pietermaritzburg from Durban?
About 80km, so roughly an hour on the N3. It's a fast dual carriageway but Fields Hill on the way down can be tricky with a caravan, stick to the slow lane and use low gears.
