Malachite Manor  

Perched on the riverwalk in Underberg at the edge of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg World Heritage area. Minutes from Sani Pass, the Drakensberg Mountains, Underberg Country Club and the Mkhomazi Wilderness.

A 4-star AA Superior boutique guest lodge handcrafted by owner Mike Pieterse from local Pin Oak, Cypress and Kiaat timber. The manor feels intimate and stylish with a gallery library, a cozy bar with a fireplace and five tastefully decorated rooms that open onto private patios or balconies with refrigerators and en-suite baths featuring separate tubs and rainfall showers.

Onsite spa treatments and massages, a terrace and garden for slow afternoons, picnic areas and wedding services. Free self-parking and a welcoming lobby fireplace add to the mountain-lodge vibe—wake up to river murmurs and fresh mountain air.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, express check-in/check-out, dry cleaning and luggage storage. Multilingual staff available to help arrange local activities and tours.

Malachite Restaurant serves a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast daily (7:00–9:00) and intimate a la carte dinners. Relax with a drink at the bar/lounge beside the fireplace.
