Sani Manor

Take an unforgettable trip to a World Heritage Site, Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park, with the enchanting Sani Manor as your accommodation base.

We offer you home-from-home hospitality at Sani Manor which is an easy 2-hour drive from Durban, or 1 hour from Howick, on a tarred road all the way to our front gate. It is situated in the picturesque village of Himeville (5kms from Underberg) that nestles at the foot of the imposing Southern Drakensberg en route to the Sani Pass.

The purpose built Sani Manor homestead has been designed in the traditional South African style with a wide old-style verandah and beautiful cypress-wood floors throughout. It is set on a large level property with roses, azaleas, a variety of shrubs and a fruit orchard.

Whether you choose to visit during the crisp, snowy months of winter, or the warm, sunny days of summer, our well-appointed home offers you the ideal mountain getaway far away from the hustle and bustle of city stress. Weekend or mid-week excursions including guided hikes to San Rock Art sites, birding, fishing, hiking and 4x4 trips up the Sani Pass can be arranged on request.

Your daytime hours may be spent enjoying any of these excursions or exploring the countryside. At the end of the day, there is nothing better than being able to settle down around the huge log-fire on a chilly winter evening or enjoying a leisurely sundowner on the verandah to watch the shadows lengthen as the summer sun sinks slowly behind the mountains.
