In a quiet corner of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg World Heritage Park, with the cascading Umzimkulu river bounding one side and blue mountain sky the other, lies Great Dane @ Brittlewood. Designed to satisfy the needs of the most discerning traveller. Great and Dane are set in a private garden on a six-hectare riverfront estate. Guests can combine comfy, country living with a host of outdoor adventures, self-drive activities and cultural pursuits. And if you don't feel like getting in the car, you can stroll along the trails down to the river, stopping at the viewpoints and picnic spots along the way. Take a dip in the plunge pool, a swim in the river or a quiet spot to meditate or read a book.

There are a host of outdoor facilities available in Underberg and its surround. If a visit the highest pub in Africa (situated in Lesotho, at the top of the famous Sani pass) is on your schedule, you will require a valid passport. Besides a visit to the pub, local tour operators offer day excursions to San painting sites, horse trails, biking, hiking, bird-watching, trout fishing, tubing, golfing and lots more. The town has a Spar and a chemist which opens normal business hours, several coffee shops and restaurants, gift/curio, outdoor and leisure shops. Underberg hosts three excellent golf courses, has an active trout angling association, tennis and bowling club, gym, country club, several social clubs and associations and offers paid access to beautiful swimming pools and sports facilities at local hotels. There is a very interesting Museum in Himeville depicting the history of the region.
