Taylor’s Guesthouse provides top-class and convenient luxury in the Southern Drakensberg. We are situated on a working dairy farm on the outskirts of Underberg Village, which is barely a trout ripple away. The river banks, the open meadows and the pasture lands provide endless opportunities for country activity; including bird watching, tubing and canoeing, hiking, picnicking and swimming.
Experience the unique sights and sounds of farm-life: an early morning or late afternoon milking session in either of our two modern, fully mechanised milking parlours, or watch the calves being hand-fed and stroll between crop lands; our fields of maize and potatoes.
Taylor’s Guesthouse experience provides our visitors with a complete country encounter; marvel at panoramic mountain vistas, unwind and relax in the total seclusion and comfort of unfettered rural life. We supply all our guests with fresh farm milk, tea, coffee, sugar, home made marmalade, honey and biscuits, and fruits in season.
