Directions

Check out our video here Set in the picturesque Underberg Mountains, this reserve offers self-catering accommodations and breathtaking hiking trails with panoramic views! This is Giants Cup wilderness reserve We stayed in Otter Cove Cabin which overlooks the dam, the accommodation is super cozy with a full kitchen, indoor fire, large bed, wifi and bath with a view. The property borders the KZN wilderness reserve so there are incredible hiking trails, mountain views and natural pools / streams to swim in 💦🥾 There also row boats which are free to use to explore the dam! The team at Giants Cup provide a fresh loaf of homemade bread and trout pâté on arrival. This really is one of our favourites stays in KwaZulu Natal, it’s our second visit here and this place is just as magical as we remember ♥️⛰️ Definitely worth a visit when you can!!
