The View Bed and Breakfast

 
 

Description

The View Bed and Breakfast in Harrismith is conveniently located just off the N3 halfway between Durban and Gauteng and only an hour's drive to most Drakensberg Resorts.

Your hosts, Dr Ryk and Bea Becker, welcome you and offer quality service with attention to detail. Go for a walk in the garden or relax at the swimming pool. This Edwardian house, built in 1912, with its unique teak pillars, offers you old-world charm and modern comforts. Relax in the comfort of our home. Elegantly decorated with lovely antiques, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Inside, a portrait of Bea’s big-bearded great-grandfather, President of the Free State deceased, of course, overlooks the social epicentre of this family home.

The lounge, complete with creaking wooden floorboards, vibrant rugs and daringly bright sofas, sweeps through folded-back doors into the dining room where the heavy table awaits those staying in for dinner, the magnificently decorated bedrooms invite you to unwind in comfort and style.

Hospitality was superb
Jonathan Boyman, South Africa

The setting was idyllic and the hospitality was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When we next overnight in Harrismith, we will definitely stay at The View!

Excellent
Hermann Schilt, Netherlands
30 January 2008
The View Bed & Breakfast is a very good point to visit several places around. The View invites you with very friendly people who would like to know much from you as people from abroard. It is nice to get in good discussion about the various topics of your countries. Harrismith is an excellent city to reach various points of view from two to four days. Thanks for your kind hospitality.
