How this started

The Living Collective began with a move. Our founder moved a family of four from Durban to Pietermaritzburg. Their new house was still being built, and their old one was already sold.

They could find no short lease on a furnished home, so the family lived in one hotel room for six weeks. The Living Collective started in 2018 so that people in the same spot could have a real home, with the care of a good hotel.

If you want an empty home

Some people would like to bring their own furniture. We let unfurnished two bedroom apartments in Pelham, Pietermaritzburg, on a twelve month lease.

Why people choose Hilton

Hilton sits higher than Pietermaritzburg, so the summers are cooler. The village has good schools and a private hospital. Its centre has shops and cafés.

The N3 runs past the village, so the drive to Durban is a little over an hour. Pietermaritzburg City Hall is about 13 km away.
