10. Curry's Post Bed and Breakfast

17.1 km from Midmar Dam

"The rooms themselves were great and the breakfast was delicious. However, there is a shared kitchen which is available to prepare any other meals…it is not in good condition at all and needs some serious TLC if the space is to be offered for guest use. For example the oven is FILTHY, the sink is perpetually full of used, dirty dishes and cutlery/crockery/glasses/cookware all need to be upgraded/replaced. I think the shared space is a great idea, but it has to be drastically improved to reflect...

Top Midmar Dam Hotel Reviews

Road Lodge Pietermaritzburg

10/10 Excellent

"Very good place to stay for a quick business trip"

The Hilton Bush Lodge

8/10 Good

"Stunning venue! unit was gorgeous and spacious. its lovely and quiet and private. only critique is there was no milk in my room/ fridge to make tea or coffee and thought the shower floor could use a bit more of a scrub, besides that was a perfect stay."

The Old Mushroom Farm

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Old Mushroom Farm was fantastic. The converted mushroom house into an apartment is awesome and very comfortable. I would recommend it for anyone wishing to explore the Howick/Karkloof area."

Granny Mouse Country House & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff truly go above and beyond, paying attention to even the smallest details, which makes the stay feel extra special. And the breakfast? Absolutely incredible — a wide selection of fresh juices, fruit, freshly baked croissants, and cheeses that are simply to die for. Highly recommended!"
