Caerus Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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.
Flippa Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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.
Griffin Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hey Bio Is there a reason why you going Shongweni ? Would be better looking up the KZN Midlands way..Howick in particular

MariusC Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 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
Warrior Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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.
MariusC Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Not been there, but I'm pretty sure the dam is not in PMB, closer to Hillcrest/ Shongweni in Durban then Maritzburg. Oops more or less how far from PMB isit?

Grebel Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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
The Drongo Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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 Wrong dam for WC chap. Try Midmar or Albert Falls if you want to be near water.
MariusC Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Wrong dam for WC chap. Try Midmar or Albert Falls if you want to be near water. The water doesn't bother me. I will google some more and find a better spot tx
Caerus Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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 Author Posted February 28, 2012 cool thanks for all the input guys much appreciated
TYGA Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 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)....
TimW Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Look in Hilton ... loads of B&Bs and very close to W Cup venue .... or you could try PMB itself.
