Blackbrook Cottages

Blackbrook Cottages is a small, working farm located 8.5km outside of Underberg, overlooking the Southern Drakensberg Mountains. It is supervised by the owner to ensure quality accommodation for guests. The cottages are pet-friendly and situated close enough to enjoy the attractions of the Southern Berg, while also providing a tranquil countryside setting where guests can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

There are two thatched, stone-clad cottages on the property, each with its own fully fenced garden. One cottage can accommodate up to six people, while the other can sleep four people. Both cottages feature a fully equipped kitchen, open-plan lounge area, and patios with outdoor seating and braai facilities. Guests can park their vehicles in the garden under the trees.

Guests have access to fishing, kayaking, and picnicking at the dams on the property. Underberg offers various outdoor activities and attractions, including the Giant's Castle hike, the Cobham Nature Reserve, fly fishing in dams, horse trails, and cave hikes. The last 4km of the journey to the cottages is via a dirt district road and a short farm road.

One of the cottages, a rondawel, contains a bedroom with a queen-size bed and a single bed, as well as an upstairs loft room with three single beds. The bathroom has a shower. The fully equipped kitchen, dining, and living areas are open-plan. There is a surcharge for gas used in the portable gas heater (used instead of fireplaces in the cottages), or guests may bring their own 9kg gas bottle.
