If your journey is taking you through Nottingham Road and th — traveler post in Howick

If your journey is taking you through Nottingham Road and the scenic hills around Howick, Brahman Hills - Gardens, Spa, Hotel & Villas is your essential stop for tranquility and indulgence. 🌿 Start your morning with misty park strolls, modern sculptures, and rolling, rain-kissed landscapes visible from your window—pure cinematic serenity! Just off Old Curry’s Post Road, Brahman Hills blends ease of access (close to major highways) with secluded luxury. The spa here is legendary: rejuvenating massages with attentive therapists, a serene atmosphere, and lush garden views guarantee you’ll feel restored after a session. 🌧️ Snap photos in the outdoor gardens after the rain for those dreamy nature shots—especially around the sculpture installations with hills as your backdrop. Dining tops the charts with fresh, delicious fare and plenty of vegetarian options; try the fine dining restaurant for a special night out, but heads-up—the price tag can climb. For casual moments, their café offers equally tasty choices. Event spaces are top-notch, too: think elegant banquet halls, a romantic chapel, and outdoor venues suited for weddings or group gatherings. Some guests recommend double-checking cleanliness and service standards before your trip, as feedback on these areas varies. For the best value, consider villa or suite upgrades, especially if you’re celebrating. Book your stay through trip.com for exclusive deals and to secure your preferred room. Plan to explore Howick Falls, lush wetlands, and local art walks; allow for downtime at the spa and don’t forget your camera for misty mornings and modern architectural corners. #Howick #LuxuryHotel #SpaRetreat #NatureTravel #FoodieFind

Howick Falls

Howick Falls is in the heart of the town of Howick, with plenty of free parking next to the falls area and opposite the market stalls. We visited in the first part of the morning (with advice from other locals on the way) and it was hassle free. There was a local resident who provided some insight into the local history, the falls and what to do and not do, as well as some good general safety advice. The falls themselves look radiant and flow smoothly, and the panoramic viewing platform takes the place into a realm of beauty that transcends the stunning views. Friendly locals make their living at the market stalls, be careful wandering around...without a doubt the best part of town.

KZN National Botanical Garden (PMB)

is a very well maintained garden with a wide variety of plants. I visited it last summer when the lush green grass was in full bloom with beautiful colorful flowers. The view of the mountains behind the lush greenery was breathtaking. This is a must visit for all those who live in Cape Town.
