Bulwer - Southern Drakensberg
The Bosten Bulwer Beat - A tourist connection between Bosten and Bulwer
Boston and Bulwer are located in the foothills of the Drakensberg, amidst
rolling hills, lush forests and tranquil lakes and dams, it is an ideal destination
for those seeking peace and quiet and good country fare. The Boston-Bulwer
Beat is a tourism association, which promotes the areas surrounding these
South African villages.
Theres absolutely no mistaking the pristine, inviting surrounds for anything
but a long-established seat of pastoral plenty - the luxuriant, generously
watered grazing meadows and impressive forests of Bosten and Bulwer, a perfect
setting for picturesque settlements that beckon with the hallmark hospitality.
These open doors lead to the entire spectrum of holiday accommodation, from
quaint country hotels, guesthouses, farms and B&Bs, to rustic self-catering
cottages, backpack lodges and campsites.
To say that visitors to this slice of heaven are spoilt for choice would
be an understatement. In addition to their number and variety, each and every
welcoming address offers, at the very least, tranquil ambience with scenic
walks and fish-filled streams or dams, plus easy access to the adrenalin-fuelled
pursuits for which were also world renowned. Certain of these establishments
are themselves the focal point of pulse-racing adventures, and tempt their
guests to not stray too far from their new home-away-from- home.
