"The rooms are okay and they are perfect for the price. However, the host did not tell us we would be sharing the house with other guests abs this caused a startle with those we found in the house already. The gyser was not working and this was on a 9degree Celsius weather where we had to take a night and morning cold shower. Supper was a disaster: upon arriving at 7pm, we were told there’s no food as they had hosted a group of people earlier and couldn’t cater for us. We managed to get...

"We had a great stay at Moorcroft for two nights. Couple of tips: 1) Exit at Howick off N3 as the roads are paved, 2) Bring rain gear as it rained quite a bit when we were there, 3) Aim to arrive before sunset as it gets quite dark on the roads, 4) The kitchen closes at 8:30 p.m. and there aren’t too many options nearby. The check-in process was fast and we were shown to our room with a very welcoming ambiance, a large bathroom, and a small outdoor terrace. WiFi was strong. The bathroom could...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Underberg?
The best area to stay in Underberg is the village centre and its immediate surroundings, particularly for convenience and access to local amenities.

The village centre is compact and offers easy walking access to the main street, where you'll find local shops, eateries, and the Underberg Country Club. It's the hub of activity and a practical base for exploring the Southern Drakensberg.

While mornings can be chilly, daytime temperatures are generally pleasant. This period is particularly good for those looking to enjoy scenic drives and mountain trails without the disruption of heavy summer rains.

The shoulder seasons of April and October provide a balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

October sees the start of warmer weather and blooming wildflowers, offering a lovely transition before the main summer rains.
