+              Established in <strong>2004</strong>, KwaNtofontofo Guest House was born from a dream to create
+              one of the finest hospitality experiences in KwaZulu-Natal. Nestled at
+              44 Rutherford Circle, Bisley, Pietermaritzburg, we blend the warmth of
+              South African <em>ubuntu</em> – the spirit of "I am because we are" – with
+              British-colonial attention to detail.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+              Just across the road lies a nature reserve where zebras graze and monkeys
+              swing through the trees. We are one kilometre from Pietermaritzburg Airport
+              and minutes from UKZN University and major shopping centres, yet our
+              private pool and braai area make you feel worlds away.
