Durban - Windmills Resort Hotel is a four-star accommodation and conference venue a short distance from the Nottingham Road turn-off on the N3 highway.
There are also nine self-catering lodges and great facilities with personalised, world-class service.
Windmills is set in the heart of the Blue Crane Private Game Reserve with a backdrop of mountains and forest, lush green pasture and spectacular wildlife.
The self-catering luxury lodges are a mix of modern comfort and rustic charm. Each lodge is tucked away in its own little corner, ensuring complete privacy and uninterrupted views.

You can relax in the Jacuzzi or soak up the sun on your private deck.
The boutique hotel has 30 en-suite double rooms with a beautiful honeymoon suite. Whether you are a honeymooner or not, expect top-quality fine cotton linen, complimentary wi-fi and in-room spa treatments.
Whether you’re visiting for business, pleasure or planning a meeting, Windmills Resort Hotel provides for a great variety of functions, ranging from boardroom meetings for 20 delegates and conferences for up to 150 delegates to formal dinners for 80 guests.
The dining room deck, overlooking the panoramic mountains and grasslands adjoining the Drakensberg, is ideal for a refreshing sundowner.
The swimming pool area, also overlooking the beautiful mountains, is superb for when the days are hot. Sip a beer while cooling off in the pool or have a pool party (pool parties with cocktails can be arranged on request).
For families, there is a children’s playground to keep the young ones busy and in the evenings there are braais with large bonfires in the garden.

Very much geared towards weddings and other romantic occasions, Windmills has a banqueting hall, several catering options and provides for all dietary requirements.
