"The facilities are impressive, and the proprietors are caring, efficient and helpful. Our group of six had a good stay and could easily have stayed longer had time allowed. Highly recommended.”
"Our family had a wonderful 5-night stay in the De Luxe unit. Margie made us feel very welcome and our accommodation had everything we needed and a lot more. The little touches go a long way to making this the best top-class accommodation we have stayed into date.”
"We stayed in the De Luxe Unit. From heaters to big fluffy white towels, hair dryers and an iron we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend Ridgeway Close and we will definitely be back. Thank you for your warm hospitality, for always giving us directions and for the chocolate cake!”
“We booked The Cottage for our party of 5. We were in Pietermaritzburg for the World BMX Championships. The accommodation was extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and was a welcome “home” after a long, busy day. Our hosts were great and nothing was too much trouble. Secure storage for our valuable bikes was available and we enjoyed a lovely evening in their home for a delicious chicken & prawn curry dinner.”
"The accommodation exceeded all our expectations and for a week Ridgeway Close was as close to home for us 8 lady bowlers as we could hope to get. Ample safe parking, very well furnished, equipped and serviced units and excellent value for money. The most accommodating and welcoming hosts any guests could wish to have – thank you for the lovely braai. We would recommend Ridgeway Close to anyone looking for self-catering accommodation in Pietermaritzburg.”
"We booked The Cottage over the Comrades Marathon. The accommodation was great - clean, comfortable and spacious. The hosts were fantastic.”
"Our team of 10 stayed for a week during the MTB World Cup. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and spacious. There was a garage provided for our bikes and Charles & Margie were so friendly and helpful. The boys really enjoyed the barbeque with the traditional South African foods.”
"We had a very nice time at Ridgeway Close. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family travelling to Pietermaritzburg. Thank you, Margie & Charles, for all you help – especially with the parcel.”
“I stayed at Ridgeway Close in the De Luxe Unit for 6 weeks and it was top class. Friendly people and I was sorry to leave. I have stayed in many places and this was like coming from zero star to 5***** star accommodation.”
"Your hospitality is unparalleled! How you managed to host the 6 of us for two months is a marvel and a miracle. A true testament to your generosity and jovial spirit. The Cottage was perfect for our family and we had everything we needed to feel totally at home. Thank you for allowing our 4 boys to become part of your family. They loved the interaction with their "surrogate grandparents". We truly enjoyed Ridgeway Close and will remember our 2 months there with joy and gratitude."
"The establishment was lovely and clean, well equipped and offered far more than I ever expected. It was easy to get to, very comfortable and quiet and I found the owners to be very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Ridgeway Close."
"I cannot begin to express my gratitude and appreciation to you for opening your doors to me. Your hospitality was more than I expected and the month I spent at Ridgeway Close really helped to make my relocation to Pietermaritzburg so much easier. I have stayed in many B&B's before and your establishment surpasses all my previous experiences. I felt safe and welcome, and I was extremely sad to leave the comfort and friendliness you offer. I wish you all the best. Definitely a 5* experience."
"Thank you for the excellent service and friendship during our stay for the Cycling event. The 1 bedroom Unit A was so comfortable and offered everything we needed. We can highly recommend Ridgeway Close."
"I stayed in 'The Flat' for 2 months while doing research at the University and various schools in Pietermaritzburg. I had an absolutely lovely stay! My husband was with me for the first 2 weeks and Charles picked us up from Durban airport. Because it was late Margie had complimentary sandwiches, fruit and juice for us on arrival. I had no negative experiences, not even close. If I had any problems or questions I contacted Margie or Charles and they helped me right away. They made me feel safe and welcome. The facilities and cleanliness in The Flat were very good. Ridgeway Close is central, close to the university and a shopping mall which was great as I did not have a car. I would highly recommend Ridgeway Close for anyone going to Pietermaritzburg."

An ideal self catering cottage - a cosy lounge with comfortable couches, dinning room, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, kitchen and a patio made this a perfect home-away-from-home. My one-year-old loved playing on the patio, which was dry even during the rainstorms. Safe, comfortable, and conveniently located.
