Join us at Penwarn Farm, located in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg, for a stunning farm lodge escape.
Rustic yet modern, Penwarn Farm Lodge can be found just 25km from the quaint, little town of Underberg in South Africa. As you drive down the Khyber Pass, you’ll be greeted with the all the beauty that Penwarn has to offer.
The farm lodge lies in an exquisite valley surrounded by lakes, and borders Highlands Farm which was established in 1886. Over 3400 hectares of land is farmed by the fifth generation of Nicholson’s, raising cattle and sheep and planting maize and potatoes for the market.
Sharing the grasslands are zebra, hartebeest and blesbok. Birdlife is of abundance and the cranes and wild geese can be spotted from the comfort of your room. Penwarn truly is an animal enthusiast’s paradise!
The ambience of the farm is relaxed, rustic, and modern, and is perfect for a variety of occasions including weddings, conferences, family adventures and romantic getaways. PLEASE NOTE there is 16km of gravel road to Penwarn. Wifi is free at reception, cellphone signal is weak but there is a booster at reception. NO RESTAURANT ON PROPERTY

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 neighbour, Himeville, just 5 kilometres away, and as its name indicates, there is access to numerous hikes and walks in this part of the world.

Reviews
An ideal venue for a family gathering. Much to do for all ages. Trout or bass fishing, hiking, birding (amazing sightings), canoeing, relaxing & enjoying the amazing views from your lodge and so much more. Did not switch on our TV once - and the grandkids did not miss it!!
Kate & Toy were the ideal hosts making sure all our needs were met. Many thanks to all for a memorable Christmas weekend. We will be back.
Penwarn Farm Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. The cottage is very neat and clean and well equipped with everything you need. Kate is a lovely host and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable! Very friendly and helpful staff!

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.
