Pennygum was great! We were really excited to see how spacious and beautiful Apple cottage was, and what a lovely, big bath! Our hosts were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We will definately go back asap. :)

We enjoyed our stay at Pennygum with our little doggy. The hosts were extremely friendly. We stayed in Lavender cottage, and it was clean and neat, we felt comfortable and relaxed and will definitely recommend Pennygum to anyone travelling or visiting Underberg.
