Schools & sport

Accommodation for school and sports visits

Somewhere quiet and private to stay while you visit a child at school or travel to a fixture in and around Pietermaritzburg.

Many of our guests are parents coming through for a school weekend, or families and teams travelling for sport. Holly Cottage is a private two-bedroom self-catering cottage on Ghyllwood Farm in Bishopstowe, an easy drive from Pietermaritzburg.

Why it suits a school or sports weekend

  • The whole cottage is yours — space for the family to spread out.
  • Self-catering kitchen for early breakfasts before a match or exeat.
  • Secure parking on the property and a peaceful farm setting for a proper night's sleep.
  • Wi-Fi, DStv and Netflix for downtime between fixtures.
  • Sleeps up to six; children under 12 stay free but count towards the six-guest maximum.
  • Three or four guests from R1,250 a night.

Weekends around school events and tournaments book up quickly, so it is worth checking dates early.
