4 km from KwaZulu-Natal Museum, Wylde Rose Cottage is a recently renovated property situated in Pietermaritzburg and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. The property has garden views and is 4.2 km from Queen Elizabeth Park Nature Reserve and 5.9 km from Comrades Marathon House. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. If you are traveling to Pietermaritzburg, you will definitely want to stay here. The hosts are two of the kindest people I met while traveling in South Africa and made checking in to the property easy and welcoming. The room was absolutely perfect. Stylishly and thoughtfully decorated, the most comfortable bed, a lovely kitchen and washroom, and a beautiful front deck to enjoy the greenery. It was about ~20/25 minutes in an Uber from the airport and 10 minutes to the Intercape bus station. Great location and felt very secure the whole time as a solo traveler. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

This beachfront property offers access to a patio, mini-golf, free private parking and free WiFi.

The interior design was immaculate and the house itself was accurately represented in the pictures we saw, perhaps even better. The bathrooms and scented diffusers were amazing.
