Okhahlamba Drakensberg Tourism

Easby Guest House

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.

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 splendours 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, table tennis, volley ball, badminton, bar (with poll table & darts), and much much more. Horse riding can also be arranged.
