Rooms Overview

The Valley Guest House offers family rooms with garden views, Deluxe Double Rooms, and Quadruple Rooms. Rooms include free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and some overlook the garden. The bathrooms have a bathrobe and slippers. Some rooms have a Nespresso machine and keyless entry.

Dining Options

No breakfast is served. Guests can use the BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture in the garden for self-catering. The kitchen is spacious and clean, but guests should bring their own 2-point plug adapters.

Leisure & Entertainment

The guest house has an indoor swimming pool, a well-maintained pool area with a braai area, and a shared lounge/TV area. The garden has a small river running through it. The pool was sometimes dirty and not inviting based on guest reviews.

Location and Transport

The Valley Guest House is 3.9 km from KwaZulu-Natal Museum, 4.5 km from Butterflies for Africa, 5.3 km from Comrades Marathon House, and 5.6 km from Queen Elizabeth Park Nature Reserve. Pietermaritzburg Airport is 9 km away. However, the map location and physical address are 3 km apart.

Services

Room service and a shared lounge are available. Parking is on-site and free. The staff is accommodating and friendly, but the guest house does not enforce noise rules. The walls and ceilings need repainting, and dirty ceiling fans are an issue.

“This guest house presents a clear advantage with its accommodating hosts and a notably clean environment. The thoughtful inclusion of a microwave in spacious rooms, alongside a well-maintained pool, certainly adds to the overall value proposition.”
