Ambleside Cottage rests at the base of the magnificent Southern Drakensberg Mountains, embraced by leafy trees and winding streams. This tranquil mountain escape lies only three hours from Durban, occupying a prime position on a sprawling ten-acre estate with sweeping views of both Rhino Peak and Castle End.
Ambleside Cottage is a charming thatched retreat with a warm country character and a storybook appeal. It accommodates up to eight guests across four inviting bedrooms. The first bedroom features a king-size bed, the second and third each offer two single beds, and the fourth is furnished with a queen-size bed. There is one en-suite bathroom as well as a shared family bathroom.
The heart of the cottage is an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and lounge. Guests are provided with all linen and bath towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas and electric stove, an oven, a dishwasher, and ample storage space. From here, the space flows into the dining area and then into a welcoming lounge complete with a cosy fireplace, perfect for cool mountain evenings.
Guests can explore the estate along meandering paths that lead to crystal-clear mountain pools and ancient bushman caves, offering an authentic taste of the Drakensberg’s natural wonders. Safe, serene, and perfectly suited to families, Ambleside Cottage combines comfort with understated luxury in a setting that inspires complete relaxation.
Underberg lies at the foot of the Southern Drakensberg and is a small yet captivating town surrounded by soaring peaks, lush landscapes, and wide open African skies. The area offers a rare blend of stillness and adventure, with countless hiking trails and outdoor pursuits available to those who wish to explore.
Though modest in size, Underberg is a favourite among travellers for its striking scenery, variety of activities, and enviable position in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal. It is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and those seeking the restorative calm of the outdoors. During the South African winter months from June to August, the mountains are often blanketed with soft snow, transforming the region into a magical alpine wonderland.
