A touch of luxury at a reasonable price!
Penryn is a gracious old home, situated in central Dundee, close to all amenities and easily accessible.
It has been tastefully converted into a charming and comfortable B&B while carefully preserving its essential Victorian ambience.
It is set in a beautiful prize winning garden, with good security and electronically controlled access.
We offer a family flat, sleeping four, which has a TV Lounge and kitchen. This unit can be self-catering or bed and breakfast.
A further three en suite bedrooms are available, each with private entry. All rooms are tastefully decorated and are equipped with a DSTV bouquet, bar fridge, heater, electric blankets and coffee making facilities. All offer an attractive outlook onto a private patio with outdoor seating.
Dundee is the heart of the KZN battlefields district. The first shots of the Anglo-Boer War were fired on the town at the Battle of Talana.
Dundee boasts an excellent historical museum, as does Rorkes Drift. The town has a picturesque 18-hole golf course and offers squash, tennis, bowls and fishing. For the more adventurous the nearby Buffalo River offers white water rafting and canoeing.
There is also a 4x4 trail for the off road enthusiasts. An hour and a half away is the NPB Ithala Game Reserve which has an abundance of bird life, as well as four of the big five.
"The overall impression was good however I feel linen quality is quite not up to standard , too old and the carpets on the floor need to be changed not up to the star graded establishment , network connection was a problem. Could get online due to signal . Couldn't watch my TV due to signal problem.Lastly I would appreciate if they could upgrade the bathroom especially the toilet and the sink , there's an unpleasant smell of sewerage that comes out from the bathroom side, not sure whether it's a plumbing problem"
"Very good. Will use it again if in the area."

"Penryn was a lovely place to stay, Jean was warm and welcoming - and very reassuring when I was still in Newcastle after the sun had set (owing to the roadworks on the N11)! She told me I only had another 40 minutes of driving to do - which made the journey seem less awsome. It was easy to find - well marked with an electric sign at the gate - instead of having to peer out for the numbers. The gardens were heavenly and the rooms exceedingly well appointed. Penryn well deserved its 4 stars. The service personel were friendly and kind too. I will certainly be staying here the next time I visit SA."
"This was a fine address for a stop over on the way to HluHluwe for us.We enjoyed our stay. Good value for money. "
"It was very good, the family and staffs were very friendly and we really enjoyed the time in Dundee. The accommodation was fine and clean"
"Wonderful guest house and extremely pleasant host and hostess, would return if we are ever in the area again."
"We stayed 2 nights at Penryn on our journey from Johannesburg to Cape Town. We loved our room, high ceilings and spacious and with its own entrance from what seemed our own little garden, complete with a terrace with wrought iron furniture. Good bathroom with an enormous shower. Beautiful decor and very clean.<br/>We were able to walk to the centre of Penryn town within 5/10 minutes and always felt safe, even after dark. Handy stopover for touring the Battlefields sites. Visit to Talana is a must. Would recommend and would certainly use again if ever that way again.<br/>"

"Very impressed! Good breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay at this establishment I can highly recommend Penryn for its warm welcome and very comfortable accommodation. We stayed in the family room which was perfect for our needs (2 adults, 1 small child) as it gave us the space and independence that we required. We definitely plan to stay again when we return to Dundee - it couldnt have been better!"
"This was a nostalgic trip for me. Years ago I lived in Dundee, just around the corner from Penryn, so it was great staying in my old neighbourhood again. Penryn then was a privately owned home. My stay at Penryn was fabulous, with tasteful touches of luxury evident at every turn, from the manicured gardens to the spotless private accommodation. If I ever come back Penryn will be my first choice of accommodation. It was fabulous in every respect."
"Penryn is the ideal country get away. Jean was so friendly & welcoming, which just added to the country experience. The gardens are beautiful and the actual accommodation is wonderful.I would never hesitate to recommend this guest house."
