Pear Tree is a highly recommended property for self catering in Underberg for up to 4 guests visiting the Drakensberg region.

About Pear Tree

At the foot of Mt Sutherland we offer the warmth of our quaint cottage - Pear Tree. This is the pre-1900 original Elton farm-house constructed of wattle and daub. It is an excellent base from which to explore our scenic Southern Drakensberg countryside and newly proclaimed World Heritage Site.

Self Catering Accommodation

Pear Tree is a comfortable self catering farm house sleeping four guests in two bedrooms. The first room is furnished with a double bed and the second room is furnished with twin beds. Both rooms share a bathroom with a bath, basin and toilet.

The cottage has a perfectly simple “old world” charm about it, and is simply perfect for that much needed escape from busy and sophisticated city life.

The house is fully equipped but not fancy and there is no TV. The kitchen has a fridge / freezer, stove, microwave, kettle, toaster and all the necessary cutlery and crockery. Outside are garden furniture and portable braai facilities (Weber, supply your own brickettes). Wood for the fireplaces and fresh farm milk can be purchased on the farm.

Attractions

For fishermen – the ever superior challenge of catching the wild rainbow trout in the pristine river waters of both the Ngwagwane and the Ndawana Rivers or from the stocked alpine Mount Sutherland Dam which is a 20 minute walk away from the cottage.

For outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, mountain-bikers – there are 1440Ha to explore including river frontage and the mighty Mount Sutherland (2268m) to conquer.

For nature lovers – a quiet stroll with a keen appreciation for the abundant birdlife and indigenous flora will be most rewarding. Sightings of dassie, baboon, Vaal-rhebuck, Reedbuck, Eland, Oribi and the wild otter are not rare either. So don't forget your binoculars. Children can enjoy a farm experience and under supervision a peek at the cows being milked.
