Underberg Reviews
Good base for requisitions and so close to mountains with good hiking trails.
Scenery.
The beautiful mountain ranges, open spaces and Sani make it a memorable destination!
Everything in Underberg.
Sani Pass and the beautiful hikes in the area. Close to the Umzimkulu River for rafting and tubing. Horse riding and golf. So much to do.
Small, Quiet, not a lot of people, and the most breath taking scenery in the country.
The Golf Club supplies fantastic meals for really good prices.
A favourite place, well placed for travel from Durban.
Beautiful area. Having snow on the mountains added to the charm immensely but there are certainly so many places to visit and see. Our main purpose of our visit was to do the CHOC Walk up Sani Pass so didnt allow for too much touring time but definitely saw places we would go and visit on a return trip to the Underberg.
Was on a business trip, but have been there many times. Close to Sani Pass and the Drakensberg. Fabulous nature in summer months.
Our favourite part about Underberg was visiting Sani Pass.
