This Colonial house was built in 1903. The high ceilings and natural Oregon pine floors add to a warm and hospitable atmosphere. The decor has been carefully selected, colours co-ordinated and special care has been taken with art, paintings and framing. From the private entrance, we offer a TV room on the ground floor exclusively for guests, a large dining area and a courtesy bar. We have made a separate kitchen available on the ground floor for self catering. Somerset Guest House is very centrally located between freeways from Pietermaritzburg and the airport.
