Cottages with Lake Views
Stone cottages sit on a 400-hectare estate with two lakes and 7 km of river frontage. Each cottage includes a fully equipped kitchen (stove, microwave, fridge), private bathroom, and a patio with views of the Southern Drakensberg. Lakeside cottages come with a private jetty and a rowing boat. Some cottages have cozy fireplaces and spacious verandas. Pet-friendly units offer fenced yards. Free Wi-Fi is available at the reception; rooms have no TVs to encourage disconnecting.
Dining
There is no on-site restaurant. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. Guests can stock up on groceries in Underberg (30 km away) or at a nearby convenience store that sells basics like milk, bread, and braai wood. For dining out, Castleburn and Drakensberg Gardens are a 5-minute drive away and offer meals.
Leisure
The estate offers a range of activities. Guests can fish for trout (equipment rental available), use the rowboats or pedal boats on the lakes, or explore hiking and biking trails on the property. There is a tennis court, a children's playground, and horse riding. Birdwatching is popular, with a bird hide on site. The Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park across the road has additional hikes to rock pools and Bushman paintings.
Location
Lake Naverone is 30 km from Underberg in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is close to the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park with access to the Three Pools hike and Sani Pass. Public transport is limited; driving is recommended. Free parking is available on the estate. The property is 5 minutes from Castleburn and Drakensberg Gardens resorts.
Amenities
Daily housekeeping is included. The reception offers fax/photocopying, laundry and ironing services, and board games for kids. There is a children's playground and outdoor play equipment. Free Wi-Fi is available at the reception area (no cell network on most of the property). The hosts provide friendly assistance, including advice on hikes and activities. No room service or on-site restaurant.
“Lake Naverone cultivates a deeply ingrained sense of peace, immediately noticeable in the warm reception from its hosts and the breathtaking mountain-lake vistas framing each cottage. It's a place where returning feels like coming home, with thoughtful amenities like fireplaces and well-kept grounds that encourage quiet reflection and family connection. This property genuinely understands how to foster rejuvenation, making a strong case for repeat visits.”
