"The stay was ok as the location was convenient for the function I was attending. I had to pay extra for breakfast which I dont recall from the booking. The carpets were were shabby as was the 2 seater couch. The bed linen was clean! I was given a family unit. The space was awkward to move around due to the sleeper couch and 2 seater couch."

"This is the best place to stay in Pietermaritzburg! The location is perfect for anyone affiliated with the university - literally across the street. You can have breakfast and supper - both excellent - and the hosts are extremely hospitable and helpful. We arrived with a flat tire, and Gys helped us get a new car the next morning. I have seldom experienced a home away from home as warm and welcoming as Ridge on 79. "

How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Howick cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Howick from £45 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Howick is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Howick for pet-friendly hotels is generally around the town centre and its immediate surroundings.

This central area provides easy access to the main amenities of Howick. You'll find a selection of shops, local eateries, and the Howick Falls, a prominent landmark, all within a short drive or walk. The general layout is quite spread out, with many properties offering gardens or outdoor spaces that are suitable for pets.

Couples travelling with their pets will find this area convenient. Many of the guesthouses and B&Bs here understand the needs of travellers with animals, often providing garden access or being close to green spaces where pets can be exercised. The blend of local attractions and accommodating stays makes it a good base for exploring with a furry companion.

For families with pets, staying in the central area or slightly outside the immediate centre often means finding accommodations with more extensive grounds. These properties are typically well-equipped to host families, and the larger outdoor areas are a bonus for pets, allowing for more space to play and relax.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Howick?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Howick?
The best areas to stay in Howick for pet-friendly activities are generally within the town centre itself or just outside on the road towards the Midmar Dam. Both offer convenient access to outdoor spaces suitable for pets.

While not exclusively designed for pets, many of the hotels and guesthouses in this area are accustomed to accommodating pets, especially those with their own gardens or courtyards. This area is practical for travellers who want to explore the local shops and cafes, many of which have outdoor seating areas where well-behaved pets are welcome.

For those prioritising outdoor activities with their pets, staying on the outskirts of Howick, particularly along the R103 towards Midmar Dam, is an excellent option. This area often features properties with larger grounds and direct access to walking trails and open fields. It's ideal for active couples or families with pets who enjoy longer walks or runs in a natural setting.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Howick?
When selecting a hotel in Howick for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds.
