Easby Guest House

Introduction

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 Boer Commando's and used both as quarters, and presumably as ammunition stash, 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.

And if nature (rather than history) is your thing, Easby is the perfect place from which to explore the rest of the area. It is very centrally situated and is no more than half an hour's drive from most of the splendors that the Drakensberg has to offer.

The house itself is built on a piece of land 300 acres in size and offers bird watching, nature trails, a pool, 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.

So, whether this is your first visit to the Drakensberg, and you need a centrally placed "Base Station" from which to explore the rest of the "Berg", or just a "stop-over" on route to Durban or Johannesburg, Easby can accommodate you in all respects. A single visit is all it takes to fall in love with this wonderful slice of the past. It is an extremely convenient holiday destination for those who want to get away for a bit of peace and quiet.
