The Fordoun Spa, Hotel and Restaurant in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands has maintained its authentic farm-house charm. The courtyard-style lay-out of the buildings adds to the homely feel, as does the classic farm-style décor.

The original farm buildings have been tastefully converted to create an atmosphere of understated luxury, combining the rustic elements of the brick buildings with the contemporary lavishness of the spa facilities.

Enjoy long walks around the expansive grounds or visit the herb garden and resident herbalist, Dr Elliot Ndlovu. Dr Ndlovu, a spiritual and medicinal healer, is available for pre-booked consultations, and has developed a range of products, exclusive to Fordoun, made from indigenous plants.

The neighbouring areas abound with interesting cultural and natural delights. Activities range from horse riding to hot air balloon rides; from mountain-biking to fly fishing.

With an impressive team of personal trainers, masseurs, nutritionists and beauticians, you can pamper yourself and de-stress with the various internationally proven health care and beauty treatments on offer.
