Himeville Arms

Himeville Arms has been welcoming tourists to the Southern Drakensberg for more than a hundred years. It is full of history and charm. This rural inn, which was built in 1904 as a trading post, is a favourite because it combines old-world English charm with contemporary amenities. Today, as part of Premier Hotels & Resorts, it still has its rustic charm and gives visitors access to the area’s beautiful scenery and outdoor activities.

Staying at Himeville Arms

We have historical furniture and modern facilities in each of our rooms, which makes them warm and appealing. Pick from a number of choices that are made just for you:

Standard Rooms

Our standard rooms are great for couples or those travelling alone. They include double or twin beds, en suite bathrooms, and nice extras like tea and coffee stations. Big windows let you see the gardens or the mountains around them.

Family Rooms

These rooms are big and useful, and they can fit up to four people, so they are great for families or small groups. Enjoy the same historic charm, but with more room to rest after a day of exploring.

Backpacker Lodging

Our backpacker options are cheap and comfortable for the adventurous traveller, and they don’t take away from the inn’s unique style. There are both shared and private settings.

All of the rooms include contemporary amenities like free Wi-Fi, heating for cold mountain nights, and décor made by local artisans that honours the Drakensberg’s history.

Eating and Relaxing

The Restaurant and Pub

Our historic pub is a great place to meet friends and enjoy a well-chosen range of local craft beers, South African wines, and substantial pub food. The restaurant next door serves cuisine based on the seasons and uses fresh local ingredients. The atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time.

Outside Terrace

On nice days, you may eat outside on our terrace, where you can see the mountains from every table.
