We construct, using harmonic superspace and the quaternionic quotient approach, a quaternionic-K\"ahler extension of the most general two centres hyper-K\"ahler metric. It possesses $U(1)\times U(1)$ isometry, contains as special cases the quaternionic-K\"ahler extensions of the Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hanson metrics and exhibits an extra one-parameter freedom which disappears in the hyper-K\"ahler limit. Some emphasis is put on the relation between this class of quaternionic-K\"ahler metrics and self-dual Weyl solutions of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations. The relation between our explicit results and the recent general ansatz of Calderbank and Pedersen for quaternionic-K\"ahler metrics with $U(1)\times U(1)$ isometries is traced in detail.
