Penwarn Country Lodge is a country retreat just outside Underberg in the foothills of Southern Drakensberg of South Africa, that is part of the Ukhahlamba World Heritage site.
Penwarn lies in a beautiful valley traversed by two rivers and forms part of our Waterford Farm operations to which guests also have access. There is much to be seen and enjoyed, be it on Penwarn or on Waterford.
The Penwarn/Waterford Estate is a 3000 hectare spread bordering the Ukhahlamba World Heritage Site. A variety of game including zebra, wildebeest and other antelope roam free across the hillsides and plains, while the blue heights of the Drakensberg rise up to the west.

The banquet is also individually tailored: the smaller weddings are held inside our dining room (up to 50 people) and then the larger ones (up to 160 guests) are held in the thatched lapha adjoining the bar. Menus incorporate the couples tastes and the general theme of the day.
From the time the couple chooses Penwarn as a venue, we assist with the organizing of the entire weekend. We do all the hiring of equipment, DJ’s, ordering and arranging flowers, hiring photographers etc. In other words we co-ordinate the entire wedding for you. If however, you would like more involvement from friends, family, we are flexible and then still assist with the general facilitation.
We specialize in relaxed, fun weddings incorporating the beautiful surrounding of Penwarn. Most of our wedding ceremonies are held in our outdoor thatched Chapel where guest watch you say “I do” from the comfort of their hay bales. If the couple finds another special place on the farm to get married, be it overlooking the dams, under the oaks, on the island they are welcome to choose this perfect place to begin forever.
As to accommodation – we can comfortably accommodate 75 guests on the property.
If this sounds like what you are looking for, please drop me a line and let me know a bit more about your wedding – dates, numbers etc and I can start to work on some more details for you.
