Glentowy is set in the unspoilt foothills of the southern Drakensberg, near the village of Underberg, one of South Africa’s most quietly spectacular mountain regions. Surrounded by rolling pastures, crystal-clear streams, and expansive mountain views, Glentowy offers a rare sense of space and calm. The landscape is timeless: big skies, changing light, and the steady rhythm of farm life framed by the dramatic silhouettes of the Drakensberg escarpment. It is a place where mornings arrive softly, evenings stretch long, and nature sets the pace.
Perfectly positioned for fly fishing, hiking, birdlife, and slow exploration, Glentowy is both secluded and accessible close enough to Underberg’s local charm, yet far removed from the noise of modern life. Whether experienced as a retreat, a working landscape, or a place to gather and reflect, Glentowy captures the understated beauty and authenticity of the KwaZulu-Natal highlands.
