Chez Nous

KwaZulu-Natal


This centrally located, comfortable place, run by Elisabeth Durham, efficient French madame and tour guide (with a special interest in Prince Imperial Louis Napoleon, who died near Dundee in 1879), is a great choice for those in Dundee to immerse themselves in the battlefield tours. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the breakfasts offer more than just the usual full English.

Half-board options are also available. You can book half- and full-day tours of the Battlefields with Elisabeth.
