About HEBRON HAVEN HOTEL


Hebron was approximately one day's travel from Pietermaritzburg, on the great road North to the gold fields, and as such was an ideal place to stop over for the night after having forded the M'geni River. In much the same way the Howick Falls Hotel owed it's origins. There were may such places of accommodation that developed as stopovers for early travellers and Lumbermen, working to supply the gold fields with building materials. Early Hebron would have seen these travellers camping out next to their wagons, as the original homestead was the only building at the time. Up until the big floods of 1987 there were the rutted tracks of wagons over the ford of the uMngeni. Unfortunately these rocks were washed away in the floods. It is said that Preller sold the farm to a Mr.Boschoff for a bottle of whiskey.
