Company information

Villa Beryl Guesthouse, is your home away from home. It is one of Vryheid’s surviving classic old South African homes, with its sandstone foundations, Oregon pine floors, high ceilings and wide verandahs.

Property information

The guesthouse consists of 11 all-en-suite rooms and 5 self catering rooms. Each room and its bathroom has its own unique “feel”, its own atmosphere, its own look. No two rooms are the same.The result is individuality. Each room is luxuriously finished and furnished, the bathrooms are marvellously modern. Comfort is everything

Neighbourhood information

After Boer farmers, who lived in the Vryheid area, had helped Dinuzulu defeat his rival Usibepu for succession of the Zulu throne, land that they occupied was given to them by session from the Zulu king along the banks of the Mfolozi River. On August 5, 1884 the Boers formed the Nieuwe Republiek (New Republic) with Vryheid as its capital and it's sovereignty was recognized by Germany and Portugal. It was later incorporated into the South African Republic, but at the end of the Second Boer War the town and its surrounding area was absorbed into the Natal colony by the British. Vryheid is located along the Transnet Coaline.
