Pennygum Cottages are a fabulous base to explore the Southern Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. Our 4 cottages are set in beautiful gardens and apple orchards in 10 acres of land with stunning views of the berg from each cottage. The cottages are well equipped for self catering - our African Dreams is a thatched rondavel 'honeymoon cottage' which sleeps 2-4, our Lavender Cottage sleeps 4 and 2 children, Apple sleeps 6-8 and our Family Cottage set in its own garden with a private drive sleeps 10. All have braai areas and sitting out areas. Most cottages have fireplaces for cold winter nights and also all have DVD players with complementary DVDs. There is a splash pool in Summer and also rafting and tubing on site in season. There is a small children's play area and daily maid service.

It really is a warm welcome that can set the tone for a great few nights away in the berg. Paul and Sarah have a fantastic little place which suited us PERFECTLY. Being pet-friendly was the reason we found the place and took the pooches with. Kenmo Lake, releaed by a framer to the community, is available for pets and families alike to enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Most excellent!

We stayed in the African Dreams cottage for one night during the winter and it was amazing!
The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the cottage was well equipped. A nice fireplace, big bath and a warm comfortable bed made the night unforgettable!

Sarah and Paul really were very attentive, generous and friendly. Our stay was made very pleasant. The African Dream cottage was well stocked, very spacious and had a cosy fireplace. They were also able to give us lots of useful information about the area and the amenties and activities available. Fabulous time spent there and will definately return.

We arrived in the pouring rain, and was met with Lungi and an umbrella
The cottage was clean, bed comfortable and amenities was thoughtful ( like milk in the fridge)
It’s also pet friendly and our Scottie had the best time

This was the ideal getaway , away from daily routines, being stuck in front of a TV in the middle of the world cup, to bond and create long lasting memories amongst close friends, some of whom we hadn't seen in 5 years.

A very comfortable stay, with amazing views. Pierre is a very thoughtful and helpful host - helping with detailed directions on the road less travelled to our next destination, and even checking that we had arrived safely! Above and beyond, thank you!
