Just something I thought I MUST mention....
If anyone EVER wants to stay in Underberg as a stop over, or for some fishing, you have to stay at Umzimkulu River Lodge. Steven and Lynne run the lodge, and really went out of their way ( for the second time, as we stayed there before about 3 years back), phoning me every few hours to let me know when roads have been re opened, and to check how we are doing on the road.
Price wise was a LOT cheaper than Himeville Arms too and very comfortable !!!
