Mino Guesthouse in Pietermaritzburg is a hidden gem that genuinely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality that made me feel right at home. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights of my visit was the peaceful surroundings, which provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The outdoor spaces are lovely for relaxation, and the lush paved floors add to the serene atmosphere. Each morning's breakfast was a treat, featuring a delightful array of fresh and local ingredients. It was a fantastic way to start the day! The location is also ideal, with easy access to nearby attractions, making it a perfect base for exploring Pietermaritzburg. Overall, my experience at Mino Guesthouse was fantastic, and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a cosy and welcoming place to stay. I will definitely be returning!
