We were in a lodge and our friends were in the next one.
We were in a lodge and our friends were in the next one. We all ate together. A
Meal was supplied the first night as arranged. It was roast chicken and all trimmings and was delicious. The next night we had a barbecue with loads of meat provided. We had chicken piri piri and chicken curry. Everything was very tasty.
We went to Himeville by taxi from San Lameer. It was a 4 hour drive but interesting route. We went up the Sani Valley pass to Lesotho which was a long and challenging route in a Land Cruiser. That was an organised day trip. Amazing views.
We would not have gone to San Lameer for a night if we come again. We returned direct to Durban.

I didn't realise that the trip from the Howick turn off was 160kms long, the road had many potholes, so better to drive it in the day time.
I loved the museum, the Christmas market and the Angora weaving place.
The people were very friendly and helpful.
Definitely worth a return visit.

Himeville is a sweet little country town with a weaving shop, antiques shop, quite a few nice restaurants and cafes, and a very informative museum run by volunteers as a labour of love. It is close to the hiking trails and Sani Pass.

Peaceful place, scenery is amazing with beautiful views of the mountain. The food is delicious, especially dinner- thanks to the Chef and catering staff. The price for nibbles very reasonable. The bar is a lovely place to unwind after hiking. Very friendly staff and superb service. A great location closer to Sani Pass Lesotho. I will definitely visit again. The Spa could be more accommodating.... I arrived an hour or so before the close but could not slot me in😑. Had an early tour the next day, so we missed the Spa.

All I can say is outstanding service and welcome from the hosts and staff they catered to our every need making sure we always kept well informed and asked us if we needed anything else, they even went out of their way to provide fun things for the kids to do, I highly recommend Glen Islay Cottage, you guys and the team are AWESOME!!!! Thanks so much for everything ❤
Very nice and quiet premisse, with a lovely garden. Everything is well maintained. The room was great, spacious and comfortable. We had a nice breakfast, good variety of the standard eggs and bacon.
Location is perfect for your excursion to Lesotho. Book at Sanipassprivatetours.com and ask for David; you'll have an excellent experience with him! Besides going up the Pass, there's not much in Himeville.
For dinner, they booked us a table at the Moorcroft Manor. We can recommend that as well.
This place was clean, quiet, with plenty of room to roam. Cute little creek running through pastures with easy access to town and Sani Pass.
The staff was communicative and helpful. Providing every convenience. Even if experiencing loadshedding, there was emergency lights, candles, lanterns, and propane cook top.
The bathrooms had generous soaking tubs...with plenty of hot water.
I'd like to express a huge appreciation to the hosts who helped us a lot when it happened that our car broke down. There are many hosts who can handle positive travel scenarios and just a few who can handle negative scenarios. Those hosts are the latter which is great. And for the rest it was a normal accommodation on the farm — good room and breakfast.
The location was excellent and very close to Sani Pass.
The breakfast was excellent.
The communication from the lodge was much appreciated while we were travelling and the allowed a late check-in due to a flat tyre. Silindele also offered to call a tyre company for us.'
Electric blankets and a fireplace.

The most beautiful accommodation I stayed during my time in South Africa. Ripon Cottage is truly a gem. Host was courteous, easy to work with, and had great suggestions. The home was impeccable - clean, with all features I could expect and more, and a jaw-dropping view of the mountains. 100% will stay here again on my next visit.
The Manager Daniel was exceptional.
He was very helpful with information and advised me where I could leave my car and trailer in secure parking while we went on an overnight Sani Pass Tour.
Dining staff also assisted my wife who is a small eater by only charging her for what she eat of the buffet dinner.
Very cute apt in the beautiful town of Himeville. Great location for a trip to the Sani pass. The apt was very clean with a comfortable bed, kitted out kitchen, garden area, fire, jacuzzi. Judy was a very welcoming host and we really enjoyed our stay.
We had a tranquil stay in a very pretty part of South Africa. The cottage is beautifully furnished and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely stay there again, if ever we travel through to Himeville.
First time I have stayed at the hotel since the refurbishment and it has been very well done. The balcony rooms are large and well appointed, the public areas are expansive, and food good.
The host and the hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming... We arrived after the check-in time but the host waited patiently for our arrival and I found that to be very cautiouse
The property is well kept and located in a very nice place next to a lake. Very clean and well looked after by. respectful team of workers who seem to enjoy their place at the hotel.
2 night stay. great property setting. room was great. staff and restaurant was excellent. enjoyed the stay and used it as a base to explore the Sani pass.
