Tourists are made very welcome at Tre Fontane (Three Fountains) Guest House, managed by the Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood (Mariannhill Sisters), who live in an adjacent convent. The sisters are part of an international Congregation founded in 1885 at Mariannhill, near Pinetown by Abbot Francis Pfanner, an Austrian Trappist abbot.
The convent and guest house is situated 5 mins from Pinetown and 20 mins from Durban by car. The convent lies on a large estate off the Pietermaritzburg – Durban Road.
Single and twin/double guestrooms are available and most have balconies with views over the gardens. All guestrooms are ensuite and a dining room, library and chapel form part of the complex. All meals are served and a communal television room and a swimming pool are for the use of guests. Secure car parking is provided. Groups, conferences and private functions are catered for. A barbeque area and a swimming pool are in the grounds.
Following the example of Abbot Francis, the sisters care for the well-being and spiritual needs of all who seek rest in this safe and Christian environment.
Transport to and from the airport can be arranged on request.
