The Old Mushroom Farm
8.7 (42 reviews)

The Old Mushroom Farm ★★★★

📍 11 Karkloof Road, Howick

"The OId Mushroom Farm is a rustic, off the grid apartment. The reimagining of the operating farm into a holiday destination is successful. The addition of retail and entertainment spaces makes for a very pleasant stay. The accommodation is rustic, but comfortable. I have though a warning. The steps to the apartment do not have a rail and may be difficult to navigate for some people. The fireplace is very pleasant but cannot heat the room, which could make for a rather cold stay in winter. "

Fordoun Hotel and Spa
9.3 (49 reviews)

Fordoun Hotel and Spa ★★★★★

📍 Nottingham Road, Howick

"Both my family and I have been going to Fordoun Hotel and Spa for many years. Firstly, the Spa staff are absolutely amazing! Last year when I went for a half day spa - the spa experience was amazing but noticed a few concerns. I went to lunch and at lunch in front of other patrons I was asked to settle my bill, when I told them that it was a birthday gift voucher of a half day spa, including lunch, they disagreed with me. I knew I had to pay for my glass of wine, but the whole lunch had already been paid with my half day spa. I went to the management office and left my card there to ask that someone from management contacts me to give them my experience. I walked out knowing I was in the right, and my lunch had been paid for. I was never contacted. I recently went to have my half day spa again and had a wonderful time at the spa. What I did notice is the rusting shower units, fruit that was off (I took a photo), cracks in tiles, towels were scarce when I showered in the changing room. It looks rundown. Nonetheless, I went down to meet my brother for lunch and had an amazing lunch. With a full restaurant I was approached again to pay my lunch bill and advised the waiter that it was included in my half day spa, they insisted I pay, even bringing the poor staff member from the spa to try and get me to pay. I was felt embarrassed and angry at the same time. I said goodbye to my brother and went with the spa assistant to the spa to find out what was going on. They were told that I needed to pay for my lunch as per management. I walked down to management and refused to pay for my lunch (wine was paid for) as it is part of the package, my husband bought the half day spa voucher, like he does every year that includes a lunch. Management insisted that I needed to pay so I asked for management to contact me on the Monday (I went on the Sunday) for the pure reason of I went in stressed, had a lovely spa session and then went home stressed. I did not want to talk to anyone. I advised the lady at the management offices that I would like to sort this out and not have to resort to social media to voice my frustrations. Nobody heard me and I was called the same day. I politely asked the person to contact me on Monday. The Spa Manager contacted me, and I again advised that the Spa is not the problem, it is a simple transaction between departments and could not understand how management could not hear me about this. I thanked her for her lovely staff but would like management to contact me to explain why this is happening. To date, I have not heard from anyone and as promised I am going to social media before another person goes through the same embarrassment I did - you made me look like a could not afford my lunch and that I was not an honest person by not paying. Shame on you for putting me in this position. To management: I will not be returning to your spa for further abuse. You are wondering why you are getting quieter in the Natal Midlands; it is because of"

Sunbird Guest House ★★★★

📍 30 Anderson Rd, Howick

"Everything inside was nice & clean but outside needs some work. Other than that not bad value for money"

St Ives Lodge & Venue
8.5 (253 reviews)

St Ives Lodge & Venue ★★★★

📍 St Ives Lodge & Venue, R103 Midmar Rd, Howick

"last‑minute overnight stay at St Ives Lodge turned out to be perfect. The estate is peaceful, beautifully kept, and full of wildlife zebra, wilder beast, antelope wandering freely across the grounds, which made the whole experience feel like a mini‑safari without any effort. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable even though a bit dated. Staff were friendly and welcoming breakfast in the main lodge was perfect with the atmosphere overall was calm and relaxing. It’s the kind of place where you instantly unwind the moment you arrive."

Nutmeg Guest House
7.6 (273 reviews)

Nutmeg Guest House ★★★

📍 5 Dicks Street, Howick

"VERY over priced. Coffee - only 2 sachets provided. No option of tea. So either have one before bed or the morning!!! The only form of toileties, was a little round soap in a wrapper and an empty plastic bottle with a label stating "shampoo". Not even hand soap at the basin or a hand towel. Single ply toilet paper looked like rats had been at it. Mats in the bathroom had holes, as did the spare double/queen sized blanket for the single bed. No hairdryer. Electric blanket did not work and temp was around 3°. Thank goodness I had taken my hotwater bottle. Had 3 mis-matched cups, glasses, plates etc. Floor rug could do with a wash. Curtains are really thin and don't block out the lights from outside. Only 1 2-pin plug point in the room. There were various notices stuck with prestick on the walls indicating Rules, Tv guide, don't feed dogs, no smoking etc. Why not put all in a little flip file all in one place?? The single bed was comfortable and there was hot water for a shower. Location is good but needs loads of TLC. Don't think I will be going back any time soon."

Lythwood Lodge Hotels in Howick

Lythwood Lodge

"Had an awful experience here. Aircons not functioning in the first cottage we booked, moved us to another one and had the same issue. Furthermore, one of the rooms had a bat flying around all night so we couldn’t use that room. The restaurant is an absolute disappointment. Restaurant was very untidy and outdated. Very limited menu with no steak options, no cocktails available, waitress had no knowledge of the menu whatsoever. The food is way over-priced and the quality is nowhere near par. Definitely not “award winning quality” The restaurant had no air conditioning and was infested with bugs. We could not eat at the restaurant because of this and opted for a takeaway. The food was over salted and not edible. Breakfast was abysmal, no alternate milks available after confirming there was and was told 20 mins later. Overall, a horrid experience. The only plus was the manicured gardens but that was it! Honestly feel like I was robbed because we could use the 1 bedroom at all. Between the bat and aircon leaking onto the floor and furthermore it was my wifes 44th birthday today and we were utterly disappointed. "

The Old Mushroom Farm ★★★★
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was one of the biggest surprises I've ever stumbled across, and quite possibly one of the best places my wife and I have stayed in the Midlands. The Old Mushroom Farm was recommended to me by a client, Alice, who lives on the neighbouring farm. She told me I wouldn't regret staying here, and she couldn't have been more right. Thank you, Alice! What was once a working mushroom farm has been transformed into something truly special. The owners have created a destination that perfectly blends thoughtful design, local creativity, and the natural beauty of the KZN Midlands. It's one of those rare places that feels authentic rather than manufactured, this is exactly what my wife and I always look for when traveling locally or aboard. We stayed in The Loft, and absolutely loved it. The space is beautifully simple, warm and rustic, while still offering all the comforts you need. The views from the main bedroom and lounge/ dinning/ kitchen are breath taking! It fits perfectly into the misty rolling hills surrounding Howick, and waking up there each morning was incredibly peaceful. Breakfast was exceptional every single day, and I have to give a special mention to the freshly baked breakfast bun, the scrambled eggs are incredible, which quickly became the highlight of every morning. Sitting outside with a lekker coffee, taking in the view while enjoying my breakfast bun, my daughter on my lap and my wife sitting calming next to me holding my hand was the perfect way to start each day. What really makes The Old Mushroom Farm stand out, though, is the wonderful community it has created. The artisan shops are full of genuinely friendly and passionate people who were happy to chat and share their stories. My wife and I found ourselves lingering far longer than we had planned. I was particularly captivated by Midlands Books & Collectables, where I happily lost track of time browsing through books, antiques and hidden treasures. If you're looking for a place that offers more than just accommodation—somewhere with character, creativity, fantastic food, beautiful scenery and genuinely warm people, yes the people are warm even though the midlands in winter are freezing, the warmth from the community resonated with us —The Old Mushroom Farm is difficult to beat. We'll definitely be back, and next time we'll be staying even longer! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Fordoun Hotel and Spa ★★★★★
"My husband & I have been visiting Fordoun for twenty years. This past December we invited our children to spend 3 days with us at the Farm Village over Christmas. This is the first time in twenty years that we were disappointed. The 6 sleeper was very inadequate, bare floors, rickety furniture & a tiny main bathroom with a minuscule shower. The Christmas lunch was equally disappointing. I am pescatarian & was promised a seafood main. The tasteless blob of fish that was delivered to me was inedible. I actually got food poisoning straight after. We did complain & the head chef apologised to my husband but didn’t make eye contact with me. I thought I would be charged a discount for my meal, since they didn’t deliver what was promised. Alas, that wasn’t the case. The spa was, as always, fabulous. I think now my husband & I will have to find a new favourite place. Highly disappointed with Fordoun."

"A great venue! Accommodation good- large room, huge bed and fireplace a great touch. Clean and neat. Could probably do with a refresh. Beautiful grounds, great walks. Lovely to see zebra and buck wandering freely. The conference centre great for wedding, good party…, huge varanda over water for gathering/ photos. Highly recommended"

Nutmeg Guest House ★★★
"I received this accommodation as part of my 6 day tour. Stayed here 2 nights. Things that matter to me. After using my towels first day, I left it on the floor. On coming back, found it hanging on the rack to be used again. Complaint to reception I was told "we don't change towels daily, welcome to Africa". I don't agree, this was my day 21, it's not true. Asked for towels which I was given. Breakfast was included in my deal, nothing special basic English Breakfast. Only soap is provided in bathroom. Toilet paper provided is very poor quality, worse than backpackers hostel in Thailand. Room is clean, no insects. Heater and power points. Fridge, microwave, kettle that worked. Toilet pan, cupboard and drawers all run down. WiFi good quality. TV was small and old, could not cast. TV hooked to a box with programs that wasn't desirable. No YouTube, Netflix etc. For SA room doors and windows were secure."
