Located in Pietermaritzburg, 700 metres from KwaZulu-Natal Museum, The Inn by Ilawu provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking, a bar and a shared lounge. The property is around 2.6 km from Comrades Marathon House, 3.7 km from Butterflies for Africa and 4.4 km from Hayfields Mall. The inn features an indoor pool and a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi.

It was high above the ocean and a very large almost rambling property spread along the hillside. I liked the ostentatious aspects as everything was exceptionally clean and perfect.

    Their service is very good, they do know how to take care of their customers. The Mino's Guest House staff is so nice and very welcoming. The rooms were so cool and clean, and the security is tight.

    Nothing. The place doesn't exist, they're using The Royal Inn's information on the internet. They're number is NOT going through, they scammed me my money and I ended up booking for one night to one of the BnB in Pietermaritzburg. They ruined my holidays and I wouldn't recommend this Guest house to anyone. I have opened the fraud case already. They're crooks period!!!👎👎👎🤬🤬🤬

    Don and Bedo were excellent . It rained they even brought our dinner to our cottage. The lamb curry was delicious. The hospitality was excellent. I will recommend this place . Spectacular views the rustic setup. I will be going there for a week in January 2023.
