Caerus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Hi so I found this place while looking for accommodation the weekend of the world cup.Has anybody been there? Not been there, but I'm pretty sure the dam is not in PMB, closer to Hillcrest/ Shongweni in Durban then Maritzburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippa Posted February 28, 2012 Share Yes. They have nice permanent tent style accommodation overlooking the water. However, the road getting to the gate is quite rural, so be careful if you are using a sedan or hatchback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted February 28, 2012 Share Hey Bio Is there a reason why you going Shongweni ? Would be better looking up the KZN Midlands way..Howick in particular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Hey Bio Is there a reason why you going Shongweni ? Would be better looking up the KZN Midlands way..Howick in particular +1 for this, then you have Karkloof for riding as well Edited February 28, 2012 by Caerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusC Posted February 28, 2012 Share Hey Bio Is there a reason why you going Shongweni ? Would be better looking up the KZN Midlands way..Howick in particular One of the guys at my office suggested it so was just wandering cause its quite affordable. As the main reason we want to go is to watch the world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Posted February 28, 2012 Share Shongweni dam is about 70km form PMB. Rather try Midmar dam they have many options available and is only 25km/15min form the WC venue. Howick trails are awesome 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted February 28, 2012 Share Try Albert Falls as well if you are looking for accomodation. I think they have chalets but you can camp as well. Same applies to Midmar. Shongweni is about +/- 70km from PMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drongo Posted February 28, 2012 Share One of the guys at my office suggested it so was just wandering cause its quite affordable.

Caerus Posted February 28, 2012 Share The water doesn't bother me. I will google some more and find a better spot tx Try to get a place close to Karkloof in that case, then you can get some nice riding done in the morning, and then head off to the venue.

MariusC Posted February 28, 2012 Share cool thanks for all the input guys much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYGA Posted February 28, 2012 Share Try The Mole and Pig on the midlands meander...self catering spots, lekker pub, you can braai and be left to your own devices there and it wasn't too costly. They also stock Notting Hill Brewery's beers if you were planning on mixing culture with sport(s).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted February 28, 2012 Share Look in Hilton ... loads of B&Bs and very close to W Cup venue .... or you could try PMB itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
