Top New Hanover Hotel Reviews

ANEW Hotel Hilton Pietermaritzburg

10/10 Excellent

"Such friendly staff made the stay that much more enjoyable."

Biggy Best Cottages

8/10 Good

"Location and grounds were lovely. Room was advertised as the "Stables Suite", but it was very small. We had to go outside and into another locked room to access our kitchenette. Front desk staff was very dry and not welcoming. She did not seem to like her job. Breakfast started 45 minutes after advertised. Listing and signage say "breakfast, lunch and dinner", but they only serve breakfast. Bed was very old and creaky. Lots of potential. Needs TLC."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in New Hanover?

The best area to stay in New Hanover is the town centre, particularly around the main street, which offers convenient access to local amenities.The town centre of New Hanover is quite compact and serves as the primary hub for the community. The main road, extending roughly from the New Hanover Museum to the local market, is where you'll find most of the shops, eateries, and essential services. It's a practical area for visitors who appreciate having everything within easy reach.For business travellers, staying in the town centre is ideal due to its proximity to local businesses and administrative offices. The convenience of being able to walk to meetings or quickly access transport links makes it a sensible choice for those on a tight schedule.Couples looking for a relaxed short break will also find the town centre suitable. It provides a comfortable base for exploring the local history at the museum or enjoying a meal out without needing to travel far.

When is the best time to go to New Hanover?

The best time to go to New Hanover, KwaZulu, South Africa, is during the dry winter months, from May to September.This period avoids the intense heat and heavy rainfall of the summer wet season, offering cooler temperatures and clearer skies which are ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. Average daytime temperatures typically range from 18°C to 25°C, making outdoor activities much more comfortable.For travellers interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, the dry season is especially good. The sparser vegetation and fewer water sources mean animals are easier to spot around remaining waterholes and rivers. This makes it a prime time for safaris or visits to nearby nature reserves.Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the pleasant weather for leisurely drives through the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands or enjoying the tranquil surroundings of the countryside.
