Kastelein is a highly recommended guest house with self catering option, providing accommodation in Pongola for anyone visiting the Zululand region.
Kastelein is a charming little guesthouse for the more discerning traveller. It is situated in a quiet side street in Pongola, directly off the N2 highway between the Northern Provinces and KwaZulu Natal or Mozambique.
There are five bedrooms, sleeping thirteen guests at maximum capacity, which means it is never crowded. Four rooms are in the new building and the deluxe room is adjacent to the main house, with its own private entrance and courtyard.
Much care was taken to furnish the rooms stylishly, yet with no unnecessary fuss or frills. We take pride in our immaculate white linen and soft sterilised towels.

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

My husband & I couldn't get a room in the accommodation place we've used before, so I found Kastelein. I will certainly come back here in future! Our room was elegant & beautifully appointed, with attention given to every little detail - even to a coral rose in a little vase on each bedside pedestal! absolutely beautiful!
