Bothas Hill Accommodation / Eagle Wind Manor Guest House Durban Accommodation / Guest House in Botha's Hill

Eagle Wind Manor, situated on the crest of Botha’s Hill, on the edge of the Valley of 1000 Hills, is uniquely positioned for the convenience of being close to Hillcrest, with all its shops, restaurants and other amenities, and the restfulness of being in the countryside.

Whether your aim is business or pleasure, honeymoon or family holiday, you will experience a warm welcome and a relaxed, country house atmosphere, along with luxury and efficient personal service. Eagle Wind Manor is only 30 min from Durban or Pietermaritzburg, with easy access to the M13 and N3 highways. Being over 800m above sea level, the area escapes the humidity of the coast in summer and is known for the freshest breath of air in South Africa.

Accommodation


The main house offers a large, comfy lounge with seating arranged in such a way that it facilitates private conversation as well as accommodating larger groups - perfect for discreet business meetings, armchair seminars or just quiet relaxation. The lounge has a beautiful fireplace for cold winter nights, and is equipped with a big screen TV. An antique piano, books and board games are available for guests to enjoy.

Bedrooms


With five up-market double bedrooms, we can accommodate 12 guests, with the executive suite large enough to accommodate a family. Elegantly furnished and luxuriously appointed, the rooms offer exquisite décor, with superb en suite bathrooms. Our great service and attention to detail includes offering all the little luxuries one would expect from a top-grade establishment.

The sheer luxury of sinking into our top-of-the-range Simmons beds, with the finest quality 350 thread-count bed linen and goose-down duvets and pillows, will make you want to come back again and again - just for the joy of a wonderful night’s sleep.

All rooms are equipped with a TV, with a bouquet of selected DSTV channels, including M-Net, Movie Magic 1 and 2, M-Net Series, the SuperSport channels, Discovery and CNN. Tea and coffee making facilities include a coffee machine for freshly-made filter coffee and a selection of fine quality teas and other hot beverages.

For those wishing to visit places further afield, there are many attractions in the greater Durban/eThekwini area and KwaZulu Natal which are within easy reach, such as the beautiful beaches, fascinating Dive Sites, the Sharks Board, uShaka Marine World, and many others. The Pavilion Shopping Mall is a mere 20 minutes' drive away, with Umhlanga's famous Gateway Theatre of Shopping about 40 minutes away.

Ideal Setting


Eagle Wind Manor is privileged to be part of the "1000 Hills Experience". Look out for our number, T1-700, on their brochures, website and on the sign outside our gate. Situated on Old Main Road, only a few kilometres from the half-way point of the Comrades Marathon, Eagle Wind Manor is an ideal place to stay for that event. It is convenient for getting to the start and back from the finish, as well as being a great position for family members to stay in safety and watch the race as the runners come by.

The House is 200 metres from the gates of Kearsney College and is thus an ideal place to stay if attending events at the school.
