subject: Conference Facilities And Accommodation In Pietermartizburg [print this page] Pietermaritzburg is the capital and 2nd biggest city in the province of Kwa Zulu Natal and was founded in 1838.
A critical business hub, roffersich in aluminum, timber and dairy production. The capital city also offers excellent educational institutions and tertiary education establishments, including a campus of the University of KZN.
Pietermaritzburgs picturesque location is a combination of forests, hills and vales with rolling countryside linking the city to the Natal-Midlands. Mainly Victorian in its design, PMB is the administrative capital of the province and situated equi-distant between Durban and the Drakensberg. A gateway to both Gauteng and Durban.
The climate in Pietemaritzburg is often very scorching summers and cold winters with its rainfall in summertime and fairly regular thunder storms in the late afternoons.
Central in the city and around the perimeter of Maritzburbg, are a range of wonderful conference centres, hotels, up-market lodges, budget accommodation and B & Bs. As various of the KZN government head-quarters are situated in the city of Pietermaritzburg, the meeting market establishments have had to grow and Maritzburg is now considered part and parcel of local locations such as Midmar, Howick and the Natal Midlands, a mere stones throw away.
