Welcome to the Legendary Nottingham Road Hotel

One of the most popular stops on the renowned Midlands Meander is Nottingham Road, a village easily reached from the N3 between Johannesburg and Durban. Only 20 minutes from the foothills of the Drakensberg and just over an hour and a half from Durban International Airport.

In the heart of Nottingham Road village is the Legendary Nottingham Road Hotel. Established in the mid 1800s as a staging post between Ladysmith and Pietermaritzburg and boasts the oldest pub in Kwa-Zulu Natal, Notties Hotel is a landmark in the picturesque KZN Midlands. Its unique charm answers the needs of many travellers seeking a hotel steeped in history, beauty and reputation and its historic pub holds in its time-scarred wooden panels, many a tale of battles lost and won, love lost and found, and friendships made and renewed.

It has for generations been not only a resting place for travellers to and from the coast or a friendly, cheerful and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life but also a hugely popular meeting place for locals, old and new friends and families. Nottingham Road locals are a friendly bunch and there is plenty to do in the area e.g. fly-fishing, walking, hiking, horse riding, Spa visits and of course the never to be forgotten Midlands Meander.

Being so close to the Johannesburg/Durban N3 toll road and the airport, Notties Hotel is within easy reach of World Cup and other sporting venues.e.g. ABSA stadium in Durban, home ground of the Natal Sharks and the new and exciting Moses Mabida Stadium, Durban where many World Cup games and the semi-finals were played.

Nottingham Road Hotel has taken over the management of Gowrie Clubhouse, the new
Golf Course in Nottingham Road. Please view our Gowrie page to see how you
can book a round at the Midland’s most talked about golf course.
