Welcome to Old Beacon Hill, once an old railway station at the heart of Kwa-Zulu Natal, now converted to beautiful self-catering cottages. Set in stunning surrounds and wonderfully located, we are the ideal platform to discover what the Drakensberg, the Midlands Meander and the historic Battlefields have to offer.

Arts, crafts, game reserves, food and drink, outdoor pursuits, historical monuments, relaxation and sports are all within easy reach of the venue.

Old Beacon Hill has four cottages on the land accommodating up to a total of 20 guests. We also have 2 exclusive caravan and camping enclosures that each boast their own private shower and toilet.

There are over seven hectares of land to explore that has a stream running along it, a torch-lit gazebo over-looking a pond and plenty of wildlife. On our doorstep there are beautiful drives and walks where you can see Bushmans River in all its glory and the first of many Battlefield sites. We are the ideal base for a lengthy holiday and fantastically positioned for a quick stop-over.
