We got here with a normal sedan but a 4X4 would be recommended. Once you get there you will start thinking of ways never to leave. You have to relax but if you are the energetic type there is plenty to do, paddle on the dam, walk go horseriding. Nicest horses ever and I am not a horse fan in... More

Thank you for your review! We are so glad that you found our horses as wonderful as we do! As to the photography - we wish we could carry a camera at all times as the mountains are never the same and after all these years of living her, we are still spellbound by the beauty around us! Hope to... More

I stayed here with 10 other people in January and this was absolutely my favorite place during my entire 3 week South African adventure. After you get past the shanty dirt/rocky road down to the main house, it's no doubt that you'll be swept away by the serene beauty of this farm. On your way down, you'll see many of... More

Thank you for your review! A bit of hostory: Manor House was restored in 2011. This magestic sandstone house was built in 1896 and the craftmanship has to be admired! The handcrafted windows(that definitely are straight!), the wooden floors and even some of the glass are all the original put in by the first settlers! We do do weddings and... More

We stayed 3 nights in the dinner bed and breakfast option ( their self catering was already fully booked ). I found the couple running the lodge to be very helpful and welcoming , in fact all the staff were lovely. The rooms were nice, ours had a t.v. and fire place with underfloor heating in the bathroom and an... More

Thank you for your review! Underberg is renowned for its ICY winters, but at Penwarn we strive to make our welcome and service as warming as possible! The rooms have underfloor heating, electric blankets and those that dont have fireplaces have heaters! In the diningroom 2 fireplaces warm your skin while our country-fare warms your tummy! There is always a... More

After a hair raising drive down the rocky farm track, passing Zebra, Eland, Springbok and wildebeest, we finally arrived at Penwarn Lodge. Our rooms had the most wonderful views, through a wall of glass, overlooking the dam with mountains in the distance and Eland grazing on the lawns. We were invited to join our hosts in the bar and help... More
