Established in 1904, the Himeville Arms Hotel has long been a famous country destination in the Southern Drakensberg, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Situated on the main road in the quaint village of Himeville, it is a pleasant drive on tar. Nestled below the towering Drakensberg mountains, the Himeville Arms, with its Old English charm and decor, welcomes you for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in two-star bed & breakfast accommodation.

The Underberg district is renowned for its natural beauty, trout waters and walks. Guests can enjoy fishing as well as golfing, hiking, horse-riding, tennis, bowls and squash and the famous Sani Pass all nearby. Its the ideal stop over to the great "Wild Coast". The Himeville Arms offers delicious country cuisine. It is also the ideal venue for your business conferences.

Himeville Arms Hotel's comfortable en suite rooms are dotted through the beautiful grounds of the hotel. We also have two family suites- two bedroms sharing a bathroom which each sleep four. We can accommodate a total of 35 persons and are therefore the ideal accommodation for large tour groups.

Himeville Arms Hotel offers a number of fine dining and drinking options for guests:

The Arms Country Pub: With the tricky old trout that got away growing six inches every half-hour, a man loathes to drag himself away from the warmth and good cheer of the local pub. Fisher folk are a breed unto themselves, and those who comb the swiftly moving, rock-tumbled waters of the Himeville district enjoy nothing more - in common with their species the world over - than to egather in the Arms Country Pub for the post mortems on their day?s sport. Our famous pub is open from 11.00am till late every day. We serve tasty pub lunches and dinners.

The Knights Grill: Adjacent to the legendary Arms Country Pub is the Knights Grill room which opens every Friday and Saturday evening, serving delicious meals in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

The Torridon Restaurant offers you choice country cuisine and a fine selection of wines. It is one of Natal?s most popular a la carte restaurants, specialising in succulent steaks, tasty seafoods, fresh local trout and mouth-watering desserts. Booking is advisable.

After a long day, unwind and chat to new friends by the lounge fire with a cup of good coffee or a night cap.
