The small town of Botha's Hill was named after Cornelius Botha who opened an inn around 1849, known as Botha's Halfway House. The small inn was used by the wagon drivers moving inland from Durban in the old days, establishing it as the gateway to the Valley of a Thousand Hills. In the same position today, is the former Rob Roy Hotel which opened in the early 1930 and was recently converted into a retirement village.
There are may traditional crafters artists in and around the area, who have set up stands and stalls providing visitors to the area with an interesting experience; the newly established 1000 Hills Experience Route.

Botha's Hill is also home to Kearsney College; the prestigious all boys school which moved to the area in the late thirties.
Other attraction to the area include soaring over the valley and taking in majestic views with the folks from Bluesky Paragliding.

Alternatively you could enjoy a light snack in the pleasantly tranquil surroundings overlooking the Valley of a Thousand Hills; partake in a 4x4 game drive through the Phezulu park, enjoy an exhilarating and informative live crocodile show, or be amazed by the huge variety of indigenous snakes at Phezulu Snake Park.
