Your gateway to the Central Drakensberg starts here…

Our Peaceful B&B in the Kamberg Valley

Scenic Cave Hikes | Sacred Rock Art | Peace and Tranquility | Ideally located in the Central Drakensberg

Welcome to Molweni Bed & Breakfast, our farm-style accommodation in the heart of the Kamberg Valley – one of the most serene and scenic parts of the Central Drakensberg. Maybe you’re planning a little romantic getaway or looking for a quiet space to rest and digest in nature. Our B&B offers the perfect blend of comfort and heritage and it is our pleasure to host you.

Why stay at Molweni in the Kamberg Valley?

Well, obviously because Molweni is the best place to stay in the Kamberg! Here’s what makes our location ideal for you:

Incredible views of both the Engeleni Kamberg mountain and Giant’s Castle, part of the Maloti-Drakensberg mountain range.
Close to three nature reserves, including the renowned Kamberg Rock Art Centre, where you can view one of the most important San rock art sites in Southern Africa – Game Pass Shelter.
The area offers outdoor activities in all directions. Hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and birdwatching.
We offer a quiet, countryside escape, just a few hours from Durban or Johannesburg.

At Molweni Bed & Breakfast, we like guests to feel like they’ve found a home away from home. We have five en-suite bedrooms in our charming 19th-century house, adorned with thoughtful touches close to our hearts, to help make your stay truly memorable.

Come and curl up by the wood-burning fireplace in winter, or enjoy a quiet moment in our garden in the sun, with the birds, butterflies and bees!

What is the best base for exploring the Central Drakensberg?

The Kamberg Valley is a hidden gem within South Africa’s UNESCO-listed uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park. Its central location makes it the perfect base for day trips to iconic destinations like:

Sani Pass: A dramatic mountain pass that connects South Africa and Lesotho (Note: Passports are required for border crossing).
Giants Castle Nature Reserve: Stunning 360 degree views across pristine natural landscape.
Northern Drakensberg: Ideal for exploring sites like Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls.

When you return from your day of exploring, we provide a warm, welcoming space to relax, recharge, and reflect.

What does ‘Molweni’ mean?

‘Molweni’ is a Xhosa greeting meaning “hello”, when addressing more than one person. When choosing to name our B&B, we felt this name reflects the spirit of our home—warm, inclusive, and rooted in local culture. It is also a nod to Kloof, the suburb we moved from, which has the Molweni river running through it.

What to Expect at Molweni B&B

Five private en-suite bedrooms, farm-style warmth & comfort
Wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter evenings
Lush gardens and private outdoor seating areas
Safe Parking and easy driving distance to nearby trails, nature reserves, and cultural heritage sites
A hearty farm breakfast served daily, and optional dinners on request

A place to unwind…

Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of ancient San artists, photographing the sunrise over the mountains, or simply sipping a glass of wine beside the fire, Molweni invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with things that matter most.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic way to relax in the Drakensberg Mountains with Kamberg at your feet. Janet and Shaun were incredible hosts. They offer us breakfasts in the package but when asked about dinners they offered too but paid extra which was worth every cent. It was fantastic, homemade and delicious. We loved every minute of our stay. Their pets were super friendly and energetic. We can’t wait to go back to them again soon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved every minute of our stay. Janet is the most warm and welcoming host, anticipating our needs, giving thoughtful suggestions and just making us feel at home. The location is excellent and we fully enjoyed the hikes and just stunning beauty of the surrounds. Janet’s food though, was an absolute highlight!! I have not enjoyed meals like that in most restaurants and she deserves more than five star. Thank you so much for a lovely weekend. We can most definitely recommend.

Fantastic base from which to explore the beautiful Kamberg. The B&B is perfect for a weekend away. Kamberg accommodation ideally located for both the Highmoor and Kamberg reserves. The hosts, Janet and Sean, were welcoming and attentive and definitely went the extra mile for us. The meals were excellent and our whole experience, means we can unreservedly recommend Molweni Kamberg Valley B&B.
