The Drakensberg
Fordoun is located in the rolling grasslands of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, where the air is crystal-clear and smog and traffic are echoes of another lifestyle.
Guests can enjoy gentle walks around the grounds, visit the herb garden of Dr Ndlovu, go fly-fishing, or ride on mountain bikes along designated routes through the Fordoun estate. Day trips to the nearby Battlefields can also be arranged.
The Fordoun Spa boasts a team of experts that include skilled masseurs, Reiki and Bio-energy specialists, a traditional African Healer and highly trained aestheticians. The spa features internationally acclaimed treatments such as the rasul (a Turkish steam and clay treatment room), a saline floatation pool, heated swimming pool, a gymnasium, sauna, steam room, vichy shower, hydrotherapy room, and a couples' treatment suite with hydrotherapy bath.
Guests staying at the hotel can also enjoy fine dining at the Skye Bistro Restaurant.
The hotel comprises 22 luxurious, individually appointed double suites with private verandas, under floor heating and dream bathrooms, each with bath and shower, and a dressing area. The Mountain View Suites boast panoramic views of the entire Drakensberg range.
Because Fordoun is a family owned and managed hotel and estate, it has a strong ethos of personalized hospitality. From your special welcome by a Zulu concierge for whom Fordoun is home, to the gardener who greets you as you pass, to the ‘bed time stories’, which will be on your pillow every night, you will feel that special ingredient throughout your stay here.
