The Raz is an ultra modern boutique 5 bedroom bed and breakfast. (Book rooms separately). We are conveniently situated in Harrismith on the foothills of the Platberg mountain which is an ideal halfway stop between Johannesburg and Durban on the famous N3 route. It is the perfect choice for an overnight stay or as a base to enjoy the nearby Drakensburg, Clarens, Sterkfontein Dam and other nearby attractions.
We are passionate and dedicated to providing our guests with a comfortable memorable stay and are willing to go the extra mile to accommodate our guests needs.
The bed and breakfast is situated in an upmarket and friendly residential area with amazing mountain views and quick access to hiking and mountain biking trails. The neighborhood is pin-drop silent and relaxing it is safe to walk at anytime.
