Botha House

Pennington, South Africa, South Africa

---

Botha House is a historic manor-style guesthouse set on a hill in Umdoni Park, just outside Pennington on South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, overlooking the Indian Ocean and bordering the Umdoni Park Golf Club.

Originally built around 1920 as a seaside retreat associated with South Africa’s early political leadership, it now offers upscale accommodation in nine en-suite rooms plus a self-catering cottage, with most rooms enjoying panoramic sea views and the remainder opening onto a sheltered courtyard garden.

Guests share lounges, a terrace and a swimming pool with ocean views, and can easily access nearby beaches, tidal pools and forest trails in Umdoni’s coastal woodland, making Botha House a blend of heritage guesthouse, coastal getaway and base for golf, walking and marine activities on the South Coast.
