3About Paulpietersburg
Paulpietersburg lies up in northern KZN, reached via the R33 from Vryheid or the R69 from Piet Retief, both about an hour's drive. It's a proper farming and forestry town, cooler than the lowveld thanks to the altitude, with Vryheid Airport your nearest flying option at 53 km out. Locals nip through to Frischgewaagd or Vryheid for supplies, while visitors from as far as Daveyton and KwaThema make the long haul up. Fun fact, the name's a mash-up of Paul Kruger and Piet Retief.
