Food scene
Our personal favourite restaurant! Highly recommended if you love Thai food. A little distance to travel, but worth the effort. They allow you to bring your own alcohol, so that's an added bonus!

Although 30 minutes drive out of PIetermaritzburg, it's a lovely sight to see when the falls are flowing. Give it a miss if there's a drought. There are also shops in the vicinity to browse through, and on occassional Sundays there is a flea market.
