The farm is on the Van Der Stel Pass, which is popular for cycling and hiking. Franschhoek, Hermanus, and Botrivier are all within 40min of the farm and offer wine tasting, fine dining, outdoor adventures, shopping and more.
There are 3 rentable properties on the farm, Rivendell cottage (sleeps 4), Hobbit Hollow (sleeps 4) and Oak cottage (sleeps 2).
Rivendell cottage, perched on the edge of the Twaalfontein stream, has two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The stoep features an enclosed braai area with ample eating and seating areas. There is a small plunge pool, large securely enclosed garden and a private pathway down to a brick patio with a fire pit next to the river.
Hobbit Hollow is located on the opposite side of the farm set into the bank of the Botriver. It has two bedrooms, shared bathroom with Shower, and a fully equipped kitchen. The outside is terraced down to the river with a covered eating area and open braai next to your own private rock pool. An enclosed shaded garden for your dogs to roam, with chill area under the poplar forest canopy completes the picture.
Oak cottage is the tree house of the farm, with large enclosed garden and big pool leading to the cottage with picture windows drinking in the views, a bedroom overlooking the river, lounge and kitchen leading to the deck suspended over the Botrivier for shaded braais and privacy.
★★★★★ We had a great time at Underhill Farm. It was beautiful and relaxing and our dog had a lot of fun! Very dog friendly. Owner also very helpful and answered any questions we had.

★★★★★ The Underhill farm is great option if you are looking to de-stress and escape the busyness of town. The Rivendell cottage so cosy and well designed and we immediately felt at home. Thank you to owner Julian and farm manager James for being so helpful. Also very happy that we were able to bring our 3 dogs along with us, I think they may have enjoyed it more than we did! Will definitely be going... Read more
