In the heart of Nottingham Road village is the Legendary Nottingham Road Hotel. Established in the mid 1800s as a staging post between Ladysmith and Pietermaritzburg, and boasts the oldest pub in Kwa-Zulu Natal, Notties Hotel is a landmark in the picturesque KZN Midlands. Its unique charm answers the needs of many travellers seeking a hotel steeped in history, beauty and reputation, and its historic pub holds, in its time-scarred wooden panels, many a tale of battles lost and won, love lost and found, and friendships made and renewed. It has for generations been not only a resting place for travellers to and from the coast, or a friendly, cheerful, relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, but also a hugely popular meeting place for locals, old and new friends, and families. Nottingham Road locals are a friendly bunch, and there is plenty to do in the area e. g. fly-fishing, walking, hiking, horse riding, Spa visits and of course the never to be forgotten Midlands Mean
