Surv0MTB Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hey guys, Me and 2 mates are coming up to PMB in March. My current accomodation just told me it wont work and I need to find somewhere else. Has anybody got any advice on good options? Cost effective options? Worth camping or backpacking?
KathF Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hey guys, Me and 2 mates are coming up to PMB in March. My current accomodation just told me it wont work and I need to find somewhere else. Has anybody got any advice on good options? Cost effective options? Worth camping or backpacking? Hey there, do you want to stay in PMB specifically or would you stay in Howick? There are quite a few options up here in Howick which is 30km from PMB...and if I do say so myself, has a ton of awesome riding...
nigelhicks Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Surv ... If you stay in Howick as Kath says you are just minutes away from Karkloof and 20min away from Cascades. Hilton is also a good option as there are a couple of places there and thats accessible to Karkloof and Cascades easily. http://www.wheretostay.co.za/kzn/mi/accommodation/howick.php http://www.wheretostay.co.za/kzn/mi/accommodation/hilton.php
nigelhicks Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Thing is ... if you stay in Howick you wont end up getting to Cascades as you will spend all your time in Karkloof as the riding is just too good. :ph34r: Dan Dob 1

hayleyearth Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The Knoll Hilton is about 10km from Cascades.The lady there is also very helpful and it is a nice relaxing atmosphere.
Surv0MTB Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Shot guys, actually just found a backpackers 500m down the road from Cascades. Got a room for a 3 of us so should be all good Karkloof is on the list to ride though!

Donovan Le Cok Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Avoid the golden horse hotel. The place is a dump and really expensive. I learnt that lesson last year...

Reckon someone has them sleeping in their backyard in tents . No worries though - as you said, close to Cascades and the Keg and Coffeeberry. Not much else required.
