About Anvil Stud Country Cottages

Anvil Stud Country Cottages, owned by Wayne and Dot Hulbert, have a rich history dating back to 1988 when Wayne purchased the then cattle stud farm to house Wayne’s 14 polo ponies. Wayne was an avid polocross and polo player and used to complete regularly at the Durban Shongweni Club.  He rennovated the farm with his horses and well known fencing business in mind.

After Wayne retired from polo, he and Dot transformed the stables into six charming self-catering cottages, offering picturesque views of the Assagay Valley. Their dedication to hospitality shines through as they take immense pride in sharing their idyllic farm with guests, particularly those competing at the Shongweni Club.

The cottages at Anvil Stud Country Cottages are a sought-after choice among sports enthusiasts visiting KZN for events such as the World Cup Showjumping and Polocross, The Comrades Marathon, The Duzi, The Amashova and the Kearsney Rugby Festival. Additionally, their proximity to wedding venues in the area makes them a convenient self-catering option for guests attending such events.

With their reasonable rates and high demand, Anvil Stud Country Cottages often find themselves fully booked. To avoid disappointment, guests are encouraged to secure their bookings well in advance. Come experience the tranquility and charm of Anvil Stud Country Cottages for yourself!
