Our home is situated on the banks of the Nahoon River, surrounded by krantzes, with easy access to both the N2 and N6 National roads. We have an amazing birdlife in our lush tropical garden. We have full access to the river. This is also a fisherman's paradise. We are conveniently situated within walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, ATM and pub.
The B&B has been running for more than 25 years and we love to host our guests and spoil them during their stay with us. We truly believe that our home should be your "home away from home".
Abbotsford is a small, quiet and quaint neighbourhood situated on the banks of the Nahoon River and has a vibrant caring community. The local businesses go out of their way to welcome visitors. Our establishment is within 1 minute walk from Restaurants, Supermarket and Pharmacy.
