EKUTHULENI GUEST COTTAGES
Self Catering Cottage/ House/ Bungalow Accommodation
in Underberg, Drakensberg & Surroundings,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Lying on the banks of the crystal clear Mzimkulu River with the majestic
Southern Drakensberg rising to 3482m as a backdrop, ekuThuleni offers its guests
the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy pristine nature at its best.
General
For nature lovers the mountain or wilderness hikes will be a memorable
experience. Birders will enjoy rare sightings unique to this area. Of course
there are many more activities at ekuThuleni.
Our comfortable self-catering cottages, spaced apart for privacy, are fully
equipped and can sleep from two to ten people. They have magnificent views of
the mountains. All you will need to bring is your food, drink and charcoal for
the braai.
We look forward to welcoming you to ekuThuleni, and sharing with you the
Southern Drakensberg at it's absolute best.
Cottages
ekuThuleni, which in Zulu, means Place of Peace, is exactly that. With only 6
cottages on over 80 hectares of land, one can imagine the amount of space, and
peace. Our cottages have been positioned as far apart as practically possible to
offer maximum privacy without compromising the superb panoramic views, which in
our opinion is what makes ekuThuleni so special.
ekuThuleni is conveniently situated on the Drakensberg Gardens road (tarred),
just 12 kms from Underberg, where most facilities are available.
Activities
We are only 30km from Sani Pass, which is a must for first-time visitors to the
area. The pass takes you right up the Drakensberg and tops out in the Mountain
Kingdom of Lesotho.
If it is hiking that you are after, ekuThuleni has over 6km of beautiful, not
too taxing walks along the riverbank and surrounding hills (see if you can find
the cave paintings!). If you are looking for something a little more
adventurous, we have Garden Castle Nature Reserve just up the road or the easier
hiking of Cobham, just down the road near Himeville. These are entrances to the
Ukahlamba Drakensberg Park, a World Heritage Site.
The Underberg area is regarded as one of the best trout fishing locations in
South Africa and at ekuThuleni you will have an opportunity to put your skills
to the test on our 5km of prime uMzimkulu river frontage (closed for fishing 1st
May - 30th August).
If golf is your preference, there are 3 courses in the vicinity, Drakensberg
Gardens Hotel, Sani Pass Hotel and the Underberg Country club.
Probably the best feature of ekuThuleni (next to the breathtaking views and
spacious comfortable cottages) is our 5 km of uMzimkulu river frontage which
borders the south side of the property. This particular section of river is
ideal for swimming, flyfishing, tubing and canoeing, and/or to braai/picnic and
just laze on its banks, all within the boundaries of ekuThuleni.
