Weekend at St Bernards Hotel, Swartberg, KZN

We have had wonderful weather here in KZN this past week – it’s been lovely enough to almost make me forget the pains of a cold, nastily-wet winter!

Apparently we had 600% more rain than is normal in June here in Pmb this year, weird. Global warming seems to be more like global cooling for us.

Hard to believe that just a few short weeks ago we went away to the snowy Drakensberg for our anniversary weekend.

I thought I would share some photos with you of the cutest little hotel in Swartberg, the southern-most mountains of the Berg.  AP and I were spoilt by having all our children and our two little grandchildren come with us! First – some pics of the granschildren……

We stayed at St Bernard’s Mountain Hotel, a little place that dates back to the 30’s. Guests stay in quaint cottages; three hearty, home-cooked meals are included in the rates (which are very reasonable), and you leave there feeling like old friends of the owners.
