Hilton, The Midlands, Kwazulu Natal

Fourwinds is probably the oldest farm house built on the largest piece of flat land in Winterskloof, five minutes from Hilton and has been the family home of  Dennis & Jill Bailey-Edkins and their three sons Jono, Daniel and Mark for some 20 years.

Fourwinds Courtyard B&B offers two family units with separate entrance that comfortably accomodates up to 8 guests. Guests can choose to self-cater or book breakfast. Evening meals are provided on request too. Both units are designed to accomodate individual, couple or family demands. Rooms are en-suite and provided with TV and video and wireless connection for laptops. Towels are provided. There is ample storage for personal effects. Rooms are secure, lockable and fitted, unnecessarily to date, with burgular alarms and panic buttons! The enclosed Courtyard at Fourwinds offers both privacy and security while the wide covered stoep enables enjoyment of outdoors even when the weather is wet.

A huge grape vine provides a natural dappled sunscreen into the courtyard, which is also a quiet site for moonlit braais. Nature lovers will enjoy the feast of birdlife and the natural wildlife habitat of the courtyard and wider garden. Fourwinds has a pool room (with lit table), a large swimming pool, and valley ball/ badminton court. Walks and mountain bike tracks can begin at the gate.

Situated at the start of the Midlands Meander, Fourwinds is perfectly positioned for easy access to Howick, Hilton and Pietermaritzburg. It is a popular rest stop for parents of children at Hilton College, St Annes, Cowan House and for schools in the city. A home from home for a family reunion. Business people find Fourwinds a restful and cooler stopover the night before meetings in the city. With Durban an easy hour away Fourwinds is the perfect place to spend a night en-route.
