Description:
Situated in the tranquil surroundings of the Natal Midlands with a magnificent view of the majestic Drakensberg Mountains. Easby Guest Farm is in all respects a balm to the troubled soul.

Easby House is more than a 100 years old, built before the Anglo Boer War. It was occupied by Gen. Louis Botha during that same war in 1900. Situated in the heart of the Drakensberg, it offers many scenic routes along which the avid historian can truly go back in time.

The house itself is built on a piece of land 300 acres in size and offers bird watching, nature trails, a pool, table tennis, volley ball, badminton, bar (with pool table & darts), and much much more. Horse riding can also be arranged.

Your Hosts, Chris and Grietjie, are always available to keep you company with their entertaining anecdotes about the history of Easby and surrounding area. It is truly a magnificent place to visit and it exudes an aura of serenity and makes all feel welcome.

We have 10 rooms in total. 8 In the main house and 2 outside.

Room Only: A selection of rooms with either double, or single beds. All rooms are en-suite

Full Suite Room with a full En Suite bathroom, as well as a lounge and private entrance.

The house itself is full of old furniture and much time and love has gone into restoring Easby House to its former glory. Both the decor and the vast knowledge of your hosts about the history of this area, create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. A visit to this historic place is a must. Go on a guided tour to see the sangers built by the Boer's to entrench them against British artillery with the onslaught on Thaba Nyama three days before the battle of Spion Kop. Allow yourself to be taken back in time while relaxing in the cozy Stable Inn, built in the cellars, which where used as an arms stash during the War.

Being situated on a slope, Easby offers the most beautiful views on the Northern and Central Drakensberg. A 100m2 veranda is the best place from which to enjoy the sunset with a sundowner in hand. Feel the stress drain away as the last of the sun's rays decorates the sky
