Unpretentious town with several excellent restaurants (the Whistling Goat had the best food and the best prices)...with a Spar supermarket just down the road in nearby Underberg (15 miles/27 km.) For BIRDING and BIRDERS: exceptionally good for rare species (Flufftails - contact Stuart McLean [has a web site] for best bird guiding especially if you have your own vehicle. Many different habitats in the area...and the birds up at Sani Pass - many Drakensberg specialties. Having been north to bird at Wakkerstrom and the giant marshes in town and that area, we can say that Himeville is just as good (with many overlap species...and many only found at Sani Pass). Himeville has better restaurants and is 20-30% less expensive than Wakkerstrom. We had a wonderful time here.

Himeville is ideal to get to Cobham the entrance to the Drakenberg park. Our stay was too short we had 2 nights due to delayed flight, plan at least 3 if not 5. Nice quiet place, great pizza place "The Grind" in Underberg just done the road (petrol station here too) missed out on local shops as we were walking in the park. Lovely local arts/craft/cafe "Giant Cup Cafe" at Sani Pass road got all my holiday crafts/gifts here. Great walks with easy to follow trails.

We were in a lodge and our friends were in the next one. We all ate together. A
Meal was supplied the first night as arranged. It was roast chicken and all trimmings and was delicious. The next night we had a barbecue with loads of meat provided. We had chicken piri piri and chicken curry. Everything was very tasty.
We went to Himeville by taxi from San Lameer. It was a 4 hour drive but interesting route. We went up the Sani Valley pass to Lesotho which was a long and challenging route in a Land Cruiser. That was an organised day trip. Amazing views.
We would not have gone to San Lameer for a night if we come again. We returned direct to Durban.

I didn't realise that the trip from the Howick turn off was 160kms long, the road had many potholes, so better to drive it in the day time.
I loved the museum, the Christmas market and the Angora weaving place.
The people were very friendly and helpful.
Definitely worth a return visit.

Himeville is a sweet little country town with a weaving shop, antiques shop, quite a few nice restaurants and cafes, and a very informative museum run by volunteers as a labour of love. It is close to the hiking trails and Sani Pass.

Trish & her husband were so welcoming. We arrived later in the evening after a very long drive. The cottage had everything we needed to be self sufficient. We cooked a meal in the evening. We were planning to drive the Sani Pass the following day & they gave us advice on the drive. Himeville is such a beautiful place. On Trish's recommendation we had lunch at the Stone House Kitchen the following day & the food was great. We will definitely return next time we are in SA.
Such a wonderful place to stay for a day tour of sani pass. our tour operator picked us up from the location.
was spotlessly clean, tidy and modern finishing touches.
on check in our host made us dinner reservations at a hotel/restaurant a little further down the road. breakfast was cooked to order and ready in a matter of moments. top marks!
an overall perfect pleasant place to stay and would highly recommend.
We were extremely impressed with the hotel which is now part of the Premier chain. The,setting is as always stunningly beautiful, eventhough the hotel is now part of a big chain the staff are very friendly but at the same time professional and efficient. The rooms were beautiful and beds extremely comfortable.
For us, Himeville Arms is the perfect stop over point in our 12 hour journey from Johannesburg to the Wild Coast. The hotel is quiet, beds are very comfortable, rooms are clean, bathroom newly renovated.
Staff are friendly and helpful, going out of their way to be of assistance.
A lovely hotels surrounded by beautiful mountains, very peaceful and quiet. It's also in a perfect location for a day trip up the Sani pass. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, staff was friendly. If I'm ever back in this area, I'm definitely coming here again.
