About Bulwer

Bulwer, tucked into the southern Drakensberg foothills in KZN, is proper farming and forestry country, reached mainly via the R617 linking Ixopo and Underberg. Most folks driving in come off the N3 through Pietermaritzburg or Richmond. Locals nip through to Underberg (38 km) or Himeville (43 km) for shopping, while longer hauls from places like Cato Ridge or Louwsburg show it's also a stopover for travellers. Pietermaritzburg Airport is 85 km off, and EV charging is thin on the ground, so charge up before you head out. Bulwer's trout streams and pine plantations are the town's real claim to fame.
