Underberg's calendar is busier than you'd expect — canoe marathons, trail runs, sani2c, Splashy Fen, markets and golf days. Click any event for details. The shaded days mark school holidays, ideal for a longer midweek stay when the village is quiet and the trails are yours. Whether it's a big race weekend or a slow week in the mountains, book Oakhaven early.
