Welcome to Elgin Guesthouse & Farm
Where countryside charm meets refined comfort. Set on one of the most picturesque farms in the Underberg region, Elgin Guesthouse offers breathtaking views of lush green pastures dotted with grazing cows and sheep. This is the perfect destination to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
Conveniently located just outside Underberg—only 2 km along the scenic Drakensberg Gardens Road—our guesthouse is close to the quaint twin villages of Himeville and Underberg, as well as the iconic Sani Pass.
