What a magnificient setting for a wonderful hotel & spa to relax for a couple of nights. The rooms were excellent, food delicious and the staff were a credit to the establishment.... More

We spent the first 3 nights of our honeymoon at Fordoun on their 3 night spa package - the best decision we made! It gave us a chance to unwind and relax after the wedding before setting off to Vic Falls and Hwange & this really was the best place for it. Fordoun is a very special place with great... More

What a wonderful place! We had an extremely comfortable stay at this magnificent hotel! All the staff were excellent in every way and made us feel so welcome. They made every effort to ensure we had a memorable time. The food is superb and the chef took the trouble to prepare us the most delicious vegetarian meals. It really is... More

We chose to spend the first night of our honeymoon at Fordoun which proved to be the ideal getaway to recover from a busy few months of planning. Some of the highlights which make the hotel unique are: 1. The staff showed professional behavior consistent with what would be expected from a top 5 star luxury hotel. 2. The meals... More

We came by the Fordoun by chance following a recommendation from a local while touring the Drakenbergs. Spa hotels are not usually the kind of accommodation we look at, buit this was outstanding, both in terms of value and service. We took advantage of a midweek "two nights for the price of one" offer, taking a standard room, which was... More

Well-appointed rooms where much thought has been given to your privacy and comfort. Very good spa with a lovely pool. We have stayed here many times over the years and this was our best time ever.

We did the 3 night package, staying in one of the new mountain view suites. The suites are beautiful with a great view of the berg. The spa rteatments were wonderful - starting the first day with the rasul and then onto milk baths, massages and facials etc. There is also a wonderful indoor pool and floation tank. The restaurant... More

Spent 7 nights and an 8th just for good measure as we were snowed in, what a blessing, and I could have stayed longer. The food was, well amazing, staff outstanding, friendly, professional and so helpful, the venue, wow, wow, wow, an old dairy farm converted into a modern hotel and spa in a magnificent setting. We will certainly be... More
