We’ve got options. Valley Lakes offers a private collection of self-catering holiday accommodation located on our working farms in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg. Although all our options have access to private footpaths, trails, rivers, streams and dams, they range between 30-45km south of Underberg, KZN, South Africa; and therefore may not necessarily be on the same farm as each other.
From lakeside chalets, to riverside lodges, to a ranch house, to a cosy cottage - the choice is yours.

VALLEY LAKES CHALETS 1 & 3 and THE LODGE (sleep 8 each) are located 30km south of Underberg and a stones throw away from the water’s edge. Each unit has a fireplace, its own firepit and built-in braai. Boats are for hire and firewood can be purchased on site.

With a total of 24 beds and a FUNCTION VENUE with plenty of parking on site, this is also a choice spot to celebrate special occasions (birthdays, family gatherings, reunions, etc).
Or use as an inspirational workshop venue with gorgeous views over the 60ha Curragh Lake.

NDAWANA RIVER LODGE (Sleeps 8) is also 30km from Underberg, but on the opposite side of the tar road to Valley Lakes. Located on the picturesque farm called Belfast, it opens onto a covered wooden deck with a built-in braai overlooking the river, and is our only pet-friendly option.

PEAR TREE COTTAGE our little cottage with a big heart (sleeps 4) is 40km from Underberg and our REDVERSDALE mountain house for a ranch experience (sleeps 10) is 45km from Underberg; both are located in the Bushmansnek area.
Directions: 25km from Underberg, take the 2nd Bushmansnek turnoff on your right. Traveling from Swartberg, just after Valley Lakes, take the first Bushmansnek turnoff on your left. Follow the gravel road for 13km and enter Elton on your left and follow the signs.

We look forward to welcoming you!

In Room Facilities:

Each cottages can sleep eight people and is fully furnished and equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are tastefully appointed and can be configured to twin or double beds depending on your preference.
The cottages have indoor fire places, outdoor fire pits and built-in braais with wood sold on site. Ndawana River Lodge sleeps 8 and Pear Tree Cottage sleeps 4.
The kitchen has all utensils, cutlery and crockery along with toasters, microwaves, kettles and ovens. They are cleaned and serviced daily.

Area Information:

The last town in the southern Drakensberg, Underberg, lies immediately beneath the majestic mountains of this area, their looming greatness offering a multitude of hikes and moments of breathtaking beauty.
Underberg forms part of the Sani Saunter, not as well known as the Midlands Meander perhaps, but offering as many outdoor opportunities and scenery to equal if not challenge the former.
The Sani Saunter extends from Loteni in the north to Bushman’s Nek in the south, and east to Bulwer, including the little town of Underberg and her quaint neighbor, Himeville, just 5 kilometers away, and as its name indicates, there is access to numerous hikes and walks in this part of the world.
The greatest attraction to the twin towns of the southern Drakensberg - Himeville and Underberg - is fly-fishing. There is more opportunity here than anywhere else in the country and the Underberg-Himeville Trout Fishing Club hold rights to over 160 kilometres of river as well as 60 dams - that’s a lot of fishing!

Underberg is a little town, and busy, despite the fact that this part of the district is predominantly farming country. The town of Underberg is pretty functional, although it has grown in the last couple of decades and now includes a number of commercial ventures.
The Splashy Fen Music Festival sees hundreds of people make their way through Underberg and this part of the southern Drakensberg to attend the Easter weekend filled with local music, arts and crafts, food and drink.

Property Facilities:

We offer birding, trail running and walking and fly fishing.
Lots of space for trail running and mountain biking
Our lake is also very suitable for canoeing and swimming in some areas.
Tours up Sani Pass depart daily from Underberg which is 20 minutes away.

Attractions:

* Impendle Nature Reserve.
* Marutswa Forest.
* Ntsikeni Wildlife Reserve.
* Oliviershoek Pass.
* Sani Pass Golf Club.
* Himeville Arms Pub & Restaurant.
* The Old Hatchery Restaurant.
* Fly Fishing at Penwarn.
* Giant's Castle Hikes.
* Gxalingenwa Cave Hike.
* Pucketty Farm Stall.
* Tarn Cave Hike.

Lovely accommodation with breathtaking views. Tranquil and just what the doc would order for getting away for a peaceful weekend. The boks winning the world cup made it even more memorable.
Farouk's service was excellent and he is an asset to your establishment.

Thank you for sharing your patch of heaven with us. It is so beautiful and tranquil and most definitely a tonic for the soul! The accommodation is really quaint. The beds are comfy and cozy and it is spotless inside. The jetmaster worked like a charm and soon the cottage was nice and toasty inside.
Farouke was most helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Have already recommended Valley Lakes to friends and family. Will definitely be back!

It's far enough away from all the hubub to really feel like you're away from it all but also has a lot available to do if you so wish. The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh!

If you're in to adventure, then Underberg is the place to visit. There's no shortage of trails for running, hiking and mountain biking. It's close to the Drakensberg and Sani Pass.
