About Splashy Fen Cottage

Splashy Fen Cottage offers self-catering accommodation in Drakensberg on a farm just 18km from Underberg, next to the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park. If you're looking for peace and solitude with spectacular views of the Drakensburg Mountains, lovely spots for swimming and tubing and fantastic hiking and birding, this is the place.

The Umzimude River which runs through the farm is heavenly for swimming in and picnicking next to. In the evenings, listen out for the howl of the jackals and the whistle of the reedbuck.

Activities and Attractions

Splashy Fen is next to the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park where fantastic hiking trails can be accessed. The nearby Sani Pass is well worth a trip and there are a number of operators in Underberg and Himeville who will organise this for you should you not have a 4x4, which is required to drive up the Pass.

There are several restaurants in the area as well as cycling, horse riding trails and river adventure guides. Other attractions are fly fishing in the crystal clear rivers, booking a ride with Khotso Horse Trails, seeing the Berg with Drakensberg Canopy Tours and having a pub lunch at the Himeville Arms.
